Tropical Dream Foot Scrub

This tropical scented Salt Scrub is made with an intensive exfoliant, Bora Bora White Sand.  This exotic, white sand is actually composed of calcium carbonite, or coral.  It adds super scrubbing power to this recipe.  Monoi De Tahiti and Papaya Oils help to moisturize and condition dry feet, leaving your skin smooth, soft, and smelling delightful.

Ingredients
1/ 8 cup Bora Bora White Sand
1/8 cup Sea Salt, Fine
1/2 oz Monoi De Tahiti
1/2 oz Papaya Oil
1/4 teaspoon Tahitian Gardenia Fragrance Oil
1/4 teaspoon Papaya Milk Fragrance Oil

Directions
Mix Bora Bora White Sand and Sea Salt together in a medium sized mixing bowl.  Add the Oils next, and mix well.  If necessary, gently warm the Monoi De Tahiti in a hot water bath, double boiler, or microwave.  When the other ingredients have been mixed, stir in the Fragrance Oils.

Packaging & Usage
This scrub is too intense for all-over use.  Instead, use this super powered scrub on feet and other tough body parts.  The scrub can be packaged in PET Jars to show off its lovely color, and should be used within one to two weeks of creation.

Is there concern about the sand and clogging drains or septic systems? I have thought about making scrubs with sand for years but always worry about that - any ideas?

Hi Joanna. You pose a very good question!  Im not sure how sand could affect
spetic systems. To be in the safe side, maybe it would be best to use
this kind of recipe during the summer, as an outdoor scrub.

Hi, I just bought some grapefruit seed extract. What is the correct ratio to use in this amount of recipe? Is it 0.2ml - 2%? And how long will adding GFE to recipes prolong the shelf life with proper use of product etc. I've made a couple of thick creams and would like to prolong shelf life, but am a little nervous of using this natural preservative. Does it alter the finished product at all? Thank you.
