What to use for exfoliant...

[AssistantSoapDjinn]

I am trying to make an exfoliant shower gel. I am using a goats milk and shea liquid soap base. I have used salt in the past however the salt degrades leaving no exfoliant in the gel and the gel is then a bad consistency. I was considering possibly using sugar, ground apricot seed, ground walnut seed or jojoba beads.

Has anyone else experimented with these and if so what have you had the most success with?

Thanks in advance.

If salt dissolves, wouldn't you think sugar would too?

Have you considered dried Orange peels?

jojoba beads.

Of course salt and sugar dissolve, apricot/walnut etc. are too scratchy for me and foody things spoil.

I second the jojoba beads.

I vote for colored jojoba beads also.
