Gel-to-milk cranberry scrub

This is a KISS scrub formulation combining Sapogel Q and our cranberry seed exfoliant. The scrub is self-emulsifying and turns to milk by adding water and is easily rinsed-off leaving a silky skin feel. Since there is no water in the formulation, it is self-preserving and doesn't need any preservative.

It is however important to protect the product against water. This is because:

1- adding water to the product causes a turbidity (going from gel-to-milk) and you want this effect to happen as the consumer rinses the product during application

2- By adding water to the product, it is not self-preserving anymore and you may need to add a preservative system to protect the product against contamination

3- Adding water (even accidental addition of a few drops) to an oil system causes the hydrolytic rancidity of the oils and reduces the shelf-life of the product

The best way to pack such a product is by using a tube bottle or a heat-sealable tube. In this way you eliminate any chances of accidental adding water by the consumer during application.

If you have not yet worked with Sapogel Q please go back and read this blog post before proceeding.
