Supplies Needed:
- 16 oz. Stephenson's Foaming Bath Butter
- 10 oz. Granulated Sugar
- 4 oz. Coconut Oil
- 1 oz. Snow Fairy Fragrance Oil
- Liquid Soap Dye
- Mix and Pour Funnel Pitcher
- Straight Soap Cutter
- Candle/Soap Making Scale
- 2 Small Bowls
- Medium Sized Mixing Bowl
- Silicone Spatula
- Hand Mixer
- Piping Bag with a Large Tip (optional)
Step 1: First things first! Weigh your ingredients.
- Using the straight soap cutter, cut the foaming bath butter soap base into cubes.
- Place the mix and pour funnel pitcher on the scale and tare/zero out the weight.
- Weigh 16 ounces of cubed soap base and place to the side.
- Using the same tare/zero method weigh the granulated sugar and the coconut oil into two small bowls and set aside.
Step 2: This is the easy part! Put it all together.
- Add the foaming bath butter to the mixing bowl followed by the coconut oil and sugar.
- Next add 1 ounce Snow Fairy fragrance oil.
- Lastly add 1-2 drops of the liquid soap dye of your choice (we used Magenta).
Step 3: Now the magic happens! Mix it.
- Using the hand mixer begin mixing the ingredients on medium speed.
- Periodically as you mix scrape the sides of the bowl with the silicone spatula to make sure all the ingredients are mixing well.
- Continue mixing as the bath butter begins to fluff.
- Once your mixture is a nice fluffy consistency like cake icing and blends smoothly it is ready to use.
Storage:
You can store this sugar scrub in the container(s) of your choice. To give this project a little extra flair we used a piping bag with a large tip to pipe the sugar scrub into our 4 oz Jelly Jars and covered with the Pewter Jelly Jar Lids.

Commonly Asked Question: Why Is My Candle Burning Out?
There can be a couple of reasons for this. If the wick used is too small for the container, it will not be big enough to “pull” the mixture of ingredients (wax and fragrance/dye/additives) up the wick to create proper combustion.
