Treat your skin with this whipped Cashmere Sugar Body Scrub. Granulated sugar exfoliates skin while the Foaming Bath Butter cleanses. Oat oil and liquid cashmere keep your skin feeling smooth and hydrated.
The scrub is scented with new Cashmere Fragrance Oil, which is a complex blend of magnolia, blueberry, white freesia, and violet. It’s part of the limited edition Hygge Fragrance Collection, which includes five new scents that are perfect for holiday projects.
Once all the ingredients are mixed and whipped together, we scooped it into a variety of jars including the new 8 oz. Lidded Glass Jars. The scrub also looks great in Mason jars. The exact number of jars you need will vary slightly depending on how much you whip the Foaming Bath Butter. To finish the scrub, download and print the free Cashmere Body Scrub Labels – the document includes cigar band labels and hanging tags.

ONE: Add 32 ounces of Foaming Bath Butter to a large mixing bowl. Turn your mixer on low and break up the clumps of Foaming Bath Butter. Increase the speed and continue to whip until the butter is soft and there are no large chunks.
TWO: Add 1 ounce of oat oil. Turn your mixer on low to slowly incorporate the oil. Once it’s mostly incorporated, increase the speed and continue to whip the ingredients for about 30-60 seconds.
THREE: Add 0.3 ounces of liquid cashmere and 0.7 ounces of Cashmere Fragrance Oil. Whip until they’re completely combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly fluffy.
FOUR: Add 10 ounces of granulated sugar and whip. Add another 10 ounces of sugar and continue to mix. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and continue to whip until all the ingredients are completely incorporated.
NOTE: If you’d like, feel free to add more sugar. This amount gives a gentle exfoliation, but you can add more if you prefer.
FIVE: Scoop the scrub into the jars (or any other containers you prefer). We filled about four jars with a little bit left over. Store in a cool and dry place. To use, apply to wet skin and scrub. Wash off. Enjoy!

Two questions:
1. Can you use a stick blender to whip up the foaming bath butter?
2. I see you recommend using Optiphen at 1% – my question is 1% of what? I don’t know how to calculate that for this recipe.
You could definitely give using a stick blender a try though it doesn’t add in as much air as a regular mixer would so it may not turn out quite as fluffy.
1% of the total weight of your recipe. So for this size batch you would take the weight 54 oz multiplied by 0.01 (1%) which equals 0.54 oz of Optiphen.

You are out of foaming bath butter. What is your closest substitute? I bought the organic Cocoa wafers for another project through BB. Can you whip those? How would I get them to foam? Also what substitute is there for oat oil. I bought sweet almond from you guys. Does that work?
We don’t offer a substitute for foaming bath butter at this time, though we expect our next shipment to arrive by the end of the month. Cocoa butter is too firm to whip all by itself and won’t have any foam – you’d have to put something in it to get extra foaming/bubbles. You can use any lightweight oil in its place – sweet almond oil makes a fine replacement, as do grapeseed and avocado.
Hi, I want to make my scrubs by the gallon, so I was wondering if I can use the lye calculator to get the measurements for my oils and butters that I want to use in my scrubs?
The Lye Calculator only measures in grams and ounces. We wouldn’t recommend measuring by the gallon since that is a volume measurement. For soap making you would want to measure by weight for the most exact results.
Thank You for that information! Can I put in 64 oz instead for a half gallon to get the measurements for my oils and butters I want to use in my scrubs according to the percentage rate I put in for each one?
If so, do I use solid or liquid for my scrub.? TY
Sure you can definitely do that but you would want to use weight and not volume measurements.
Thanks a lot
I’m new to all of this, how hard would it be to convert this recipe into a lavender scented scrub for my gf?
It would be as simple as swapping your fragrance oil. Here’s a link to our fragrance calculator to get a skin-safe usage rate to go with your project: https://www.brambleberry.com/Pages/Fragrance-Calculator.aspx
Thanks for the many resources and assistance! I have Brambleberry’s oat and mallow extracts. Can they be used in sugar/salt scrubs? Do they contain water or anything that would require additional ingredients?
Sure you can, they are just a blend of the extract and fractionated coconut oil so no additional ingredients are required while using them.
Hello,
I know adding a preservative will be a safeguard, but will this product mold if kept in shower?! Or is the preservative in the bath whip enough? I wanted to make these for Christmas but just realized I don’t have the right type of preservative and it’s too late to order.
As long as you include the preservative it will not mold, though the preservative only will be effective for about 1 year. I probably wouldn’t recommend storing it in the shower if you are not adding an additional preservative to it though, the foaming bath whip is just self preserving.
How much preservative would you add to this exact recipe & which one if you wanted to be able to store it in the shower ?
I would do at least 1% preservative, either Optiphen or Phenonip.
If I want to use a fragrance with Vanillan content…(Cocoa Butter and Cashmere), would I use a vanilla stabilizer to keep it from discoloring??? And if so, would I use the same stabilizer I use in my soaps, or one designed for lotions…???
Our Vanilla Color Stabilizer only works for lotion. We have lotions and scrubs don’t discolor as much as soap so you should still be okay. Normally the discoloration is only noticeable if it is next to a unscented jar of the same batch.

Can I know the self life
The shelf life of any product will be the shortest shelf life among the ingredients used to create it.
If I wanted to add some color and another exfoliant like jojoba beads, strawberry seed, etc, how much would you recommend?
Thanks!
I would start with about 1-2 tbsp extra exfoliants based on how coarse you want it to feel. For color I would start with a much smaller amount, about 1/4 tsp. I would also recommend making a smaller test batch to test your ratios to make sure you like the results.
I could not find any place to post a general question or contact you on soap queen. is there any way to search your blogs? I couldn’t find a way. if not, could you please, please, please make the blogs searchable? thank you
Hi Julie, you can contact us directly by emailing [email protected].
To search our blog there is a search box at the top of the page that says “Search All Tutorials…” with a little magnifying glass on the box where you type. You have to enter your search term and click the magnifying glass in order to make the search function work.
Can sea salt be used in place of the sugar?
You could definitely use salt instead, though it tends to have more of a scrubby feeling to it, so you may not want to use it on the face or sensitive areas of the body.
Since you use this in the shower doesn’t it need a preservative?
Adding a preservative for product being used in the shower is a good idea as a safeguard. I would recommend using the Optiphen for this.
Optiphen: https://www.brambleberry.com/Optiphen-P3682.aspx
You recommended Optiphen, could germall be used instead?
I’m not 100% sure since we have not worked with germall. You would want to use an oil soluble preservative in this recipe.
what percentage would you use?
For Optiphen we typically use it at a 1% usage rate.
I thought the bath butter alresdy has preservatives in it?
You would be adding a preservative as a safeguard to cover the other ingredients used in the scrub if it should come into contact with water.
Can powdered goat milk be added to this product ? If so what percentage?
We would not recommend adding goat milk to this product. It would reduce the shelf life but quite a bit and would eventually go rancid in the scrub.
Wowza–this really takes a full 2lbs of the Foaming Bath Butter ($10)? This looks amazing, but other than making it for myself I’m not sure I could justify the cost I’d have to charge my customers to cover my expenses. Hmmm. Is there I way I could stretch out the FBB by using less and subbing in something like Cocoa or Shea Butter?
You could definitely give that a try. I think the Shea Butter would get you the closest consistency but have a bit softer end result.
Shea Butter: https://www.brambleberry.com/Shea-Butter-P3220.aspx
I have the fragrance oil and the foaming bath butter, but not the oat oil or liquid cashmere. Can I substitute an oil and/or liquid extract for those?
You can definitely substitute a difference oil for those. Another lightweight oil would work well for the Oat Oil and something like Liquid Silk would be a good substitute for Liquid Cashmere. If you don’t have liquid silk either you can just leave that out and up the liquid oil.
Liquid Silk: https://www.brambleberry.com/Liquid-Silk-P4097.aspx
Will the Cashmere scent cause this to discolor?
It may slightly, but should not be very noticeable. We have found scrubs do not discolor near as much as soap.
Thank you for amazing products I really love the out come. Please can you help me with any anti-wrinkle product
We can’t make anti-wrinkle claims with our products.
If you’re looking for something that works well for mature skin I would try this Healing Under Eye Serum:

Does this deflate or separate over time, or does it stay whipped?
It should stay pretty whipped up over time depending on temperature in your area and use. It should not separate though, over time the most it may do is deflate a little.
