Rose Vanilla Exfoliating Sugar Scrub Soap Cubes

I love sugar scrubs. I love to make them and give them as gifts. Who doesn’t love a way to pamper themselves and have silky soft skin? It makes a simple gift that is easy to keep on hand.

How to Use Your Exfoliating Sugar Scrub Cubes

The simplest way to use these is by taking one cube at a time and rubbing it between your hands. This will warm the soap up, so you can enjoy its moisturizing properties while also adding exfoliation from the sugar! The soap is perfect for your daily shower routine.

A more luxurious way to use these is by adding a bath bomb mixture. You can follow the same instructions for this recipe, but instead of filling your soap mold with melt and pour soap base you fill it half full with heated sugar scrub cubes before pouring over a bath bomb mixture. This will leave beautiful crystals on top that add an extra layer

How to Store Rose Vanilla soap

You will want to store the rose vanilla soap so that it will last the longest. When first removed from the mold, your bars will be softer than what is typically desired. This can lead to shorter shelf life for those sensitive soaps like Rose Vanilla. To prevent the softening of your soap, it’s important that you store them in an area where they’re not exposed to excessive humidity or water vapor and away from direct sunlight or any other heat sources.

Keep it at room temperature out of the sun! This can help the rose vanilla soap to last for years.

How Long Do DIY Soap Cubes Last

That all depends on how they are stored. If you store your soap in an area where it is exposed to excessive moisture and heat, the shelf like will not be as long. If it is exposed to moisture it can also start to grow mold.

If stored correctly, the soap cubes can last for years.

Which is better sugar or salt scrub?

There are different ingredients you can use to make your soap cubes, but sugar and salt will give a nice exfoliating effect. Sugar is gentler than salts so it may be more suitable for sensitive skin types.

It all depends on what you’re looking for! If you want something that’s softer take the sugar. That is why I like using the sugar for this Valentine’s Day scrub because it can be used every day by everyone.

What is the best oil for DIY sugar scrub soap cubes?

If you’re using a sugar scrub soap cube, coconut oil is the best option, which is what I use in these DIY sugar scrub soap cubes. Coconut oil has many benefits for your skin like moisturizing and fighting acne.

The other oils that work well with this are jojoba or olive oils because they don’t leave an oily residue on your skin after use.

Can you use fragrance oils in DIY Valentine’s Day Scrubs?

Yes, you can use fragrance oils in your DIY soap cubes. I like to use rose essential oil because it smells like fresh roses and is perfect for this time of year!

The other scents that are good alternatives are vanilla or lavender which have a lighter scent than the rose.

In this case, I am adding both vanilla and rose to the Valentine’s Day Scrubs. I think the 2 complement each other perfectly.

Do you use sugar scrub before or after body wash?

There are different trains of thought on this. Some people like to wash first and then exfoliate. Others like to use body wash first and then soap.

However, for these sugar scrub soaps, you can use only these and get both clean and exfoliated at once because the sugar exfoliates while the soap cleans like body wash.

What You Need To Make Soap Cubes

• rose absolute essential oil
• vanilla extract or flavoring
• sugar
• Red or pink soap colorant
• Wilton white sugar crystals
• Heart Silicone mold

Tips to Make Rose Vanilla Exfoliating Sugar Scrub Soap Cubes

Shred or cut the melt and pour soap into small pieces and place in a medium microwave safe bowl.

Add the coconut oil to the shredded soap and microwave for 45 seconds or until melted.

Add the rose essential oil and vanilla flavoring and stir well to incorporate.

Add the soap colorant of your choice and mix well until you achieve your desired color.

Add in the sugar and mix well.

Sprinkle a small amount of the sugar crystals into each mold (this is optional but it will give an extra sparkling effect on each heart).

Transfer the sugar mixture into each heart mold, pressing down firmly and filling up to the top of each mold.

Freeze for 1 hour and release the exfoliating cubes from their molds.

Store in an airtight glass container for up to 3 months. A mason jar works great for this. Other options are saving a food jar. Remove the label and once it is clean and dry it will be ready to use.
