I invented this scrub when a friend of mine asked for a classic salt scrub that would be especially luxurious, feminine, but not childish. The Bolivian Pink Salt looks gorgeous in a salt scrub. Cherry Kernel and Mango Oil give this scrub a highly moisturizing, yet light base. Scented with Rose and Sandalwood, this recipe is exquisitely feminine. Needless to say, my friend found the finished product to be as charming as I did. After all, it is fit for a goddess!
Goddess Salt Scrub
1/2 cup Bolivian Pink Salt, Fine
1 ounce Cherry Kernel Oil
1 ounce Mango Oil
30 drops Sandalwood Essential Oil *
15 drops Rose Otto Essential Oil *
* For a more economic version of this scrub, the essential oils can be substituted with 3/4 teaspoon of Sandalwood Fragrance Oil and 1/4 teaspoon of Red Rose Fragrance Oil.
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!
