As much as I love to play with emulsions, scrub bars and body melts remain one of my favorites through 4 seasons. I find them practical, cute, easy to make and fun to apply, perfectly suitable as cute gifts and giveaways and best of all: No fuss with pH measurement and adjustment, no preservative needed.
If you are looking for adorable cute gifts for this Christmas, grab your ingredients, find some cute silicone chocolate molds and start making these cute self-emulsifying scrub bars.
