I've made two different versions of body buffers now. The first is a Cranberry Lime Brown Sugar Body Buffer. This looks and smells great. It looks like crystalized brown sugar - very glossy. The only thing is that I wasn't happy with the consistency. It really needs to be scoopable. So I revised the ingredients a little. I'll test this again after it sets up a bit to see if I'm happy with it. I've put 3.5 ounces of buffer into 4 ounce plastic jars with a little bit of gingham type material on top for decoration. As of now, here is the revised ingredients listing:

turbinado brown sugar
extra virgin olive oil
sweet almond oil
coconut oil
shea butter
glycerin
fragrance oil
trace of lime zest

My second is a Vanilla Twirl Whipped Sugar Body Buffer. I think that's my longest name yet for a product. I used a different set of oils for this one to see what would happen if I used oils that would pretty much solidify and suspend the sugar. The consistency is like that of the sugar/butter mixture that you have to make before adding the dry ingredients of a cookie recipe. I started out with just granulated white sugar, but that was a bit boring. So I added turbinado sugar to it and tried keeping it separated in the jar. It worked with one of them.

This buffer is definitely scoopable. Again, I've put 3.5 ounces of buffer into 4 ounce plastic jars with a little bit of gingham type material on top for decoration. My ingredients are as follows:

white granulated sugar
extra virgin olive oil
sweet almond oil
shea butter
coconut oil
turbinado sugar
fragrance oil

Finally, I've made some Cocoa and Vanilla Mini Tub Truffles. Let me tell you, these look good enough to eat! They are really cute. I made these in two parts. The base is made up of the hard oils. The topping is made up of colored and scented bath salts. The base has solidified nicely and the wrapper can easily be pulled away. The only thing that I might do differently next time is use a bit of hard oils on the salts to keep them together a bit more. As they are, they are staying on top, but I've a feeling that if you aren't careful, the salt will start dropping just like the sprinkles on a cupcake. I can't wait to try these out. Here are my ingredients:

cocoa butter
baking soda
shea butter
citric acid
epsom salts
dead sea salts
sweet almond oil
cocoa powder
fragrance oil

(the right most truffle has the paper wrapper parially removed so you can see the base of the truffle)
