Sugar scrub separating

[Nancy OLeary]

Hello all- new member here. I've been making a sugar scrub with coconut oil, sugar, honey & a small amount of coarse salt but it's been separating so there's a layer of oil on top. Can I add an emulsifying wax to a batch that's already made - if so how? TIA

It is normal for an oil based sugar scrub to have some oil on top unless you are making emulsified sugar scrub. Just stir it up before using.
If you want to try an emulsified sugar scrub, most suppliers have formulations on their website. Humblebee&me also has some recipes.

I have this recipe to make sugar scrub cubes. 2 oz. M & P, 1 ounce almond oil, 1 ounce hemp oil, 6 ounces sugar. 9 ml emulsifying wax. Every recipie have seen regarding sugar scrub cubes doesn't add Emulsifying Wax and I am wondering why? I have made the cubes with and without the wax, and I cant tell the difference. Is it because I am not using enough? or should I not use it at all. Thanks All!
