Hi Emmy,
Can you talk a little about Cherry Kernel Oil? I can't find much about it and I would like to know more. I like this recipe and I'm looking forward to making some. Thanks!
Kris

Thank you for your question, Kris. Cherry Kernel Oil is a light, emollient oil, similar in texture to Sweet Almond or Apricot Oil. Like other fruit seed oils it contains a high amount of fatty acids. Cherry Kernel Oil makes a great addition to lip balms, skin creams, scrubs or masks. It can also lend its moisturizing properties to haircare formulas where lighter oils are often preferred.

I'm thrilled to hear that you're planning on making the Goddess Scrub. Please let us know how it turns out!

This sounds lovely! Thank you for all the great recipes fit for a Goddess!

Emmy
You can sub the salt w/sugar correct?

You can certainly substitute a sugar for the salt in this scrub recipe.  However, by subbing the sugar you will lose the lovely pink color of this scrub.  Instead, youll get a color closer to the color of the sugar and the oils in the recipe, which have a slightly yellow hue.  

What would be a good preservative to add to this?


Hi Tracy.  For this recipe, I would usually use Grapefruit Seed Extract or Liquapar Oil as a preservative.  For personal use, either of these would be fine.  If you are making a similar scrub for sale, you may want to consult a professional lab to formulate a truly stable recipe.  You can learn more about using preservatives at the following link: http://www.naturalbeautyworkshop.com/my_weblog/preservatives.html

Hi Emmy, Would any of these recipes be good to someone with bad psoriasis?


Hi Diane.  Scrubs are often helpful to those suffering from psoriasis.  Scrubs made with Dead Sea Salts can be particularly helpful, as the mineral content tends to have a positive effect on some skin conditions.  Also look for scrubs using highly moisturizing oils, or oils that contain high levels of essential fatty acids.  Bolivian Pink Salt is another great ingredient to look for.  This recipe, and some others that Ill list for you could be helpful.  If you dont like a scent or coloring choice, try swapping out essential oils, clays, or additives to customize a recipe.
