Make Your Own Coffee Scrub with Ease! Our Cream Base Formula takes the guesswork out of formulating! One Main Formula makes 10 Different Products!

Ingredient Breakdown:

• Cream Base: Our Cream Base is a rich, stable moisturizing formula that serves as the perfect carrier for your active ingredients. It provides the hydration your skin needs, leaving it feeling soft and nourished after every use.

• Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Oil: This oil is known for its powerful antioxidant properties, which help protect the skin from environmental damage. It's also great for improving circulation, reducing puffiness, and providing deep hydration. It works as a wonderful carrier oil to enhance the scrub’s nourishing properties.

• Coffee Grounds: Coffee grounds are a natural exfoliant that helps to slough off dead skin cells and promote smoother, more radiant skin. They are also rich in antioxidants and caffeine, which can aid in reducing the appearance of cellulite and improving blood flow.

• Fragrance: A fragrance can add a pleasant aroma to your scrub, elevating the sensory experience. Make sure to choose a skin-safe, gentle fragrance to avoid irritation.

Coffee Scrub Recipe:

The combination of Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Oil, coffee grounds, and our Cream Base delivers exfoliation and hydration in one easy-to-make product. The oil adds antioxidant properties while the coffee grounds help remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin soft and refreshed.

Instructions:

1. Mix the Coffee Seed Oil and Coffee Grounds:
   Start by adding the Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Oil and coffee grounds to a clean mixing container. Stir gently to combine.

2. Add the Fragrance (Optional):
   If you're adding fragrance, this is the step to include it. Ensure that the fragrance is skin-safe and use within recommended guidelines.

3. Incorporate the Cream Base:
   Slowly add the Cream Base to the mixture while stirring. The base provides the moisturizing element and ensures that the scrub is easy to apply and gentle on the skin.

4. Mix Thoroughly:
   Stir everything together until fully incorporated. If you prefer a thicker consistency, adjust the ratio of coffee grounds to base slightly.

5. Transfer to a Jar or Container:
   Once the scrub is well-mixed, transfer it into a clean, airtight container for storage.

Formulation Tips for the Cream Base:

To help you get the best results from our Cream Base and ensure your product remains safe and effective, here are a few formulation tips:

1. Additives:
   You can add up to 10% of additives to the formula without needing additional preservative adjustments. This is perfect for adding actives like essential oils, botanical extracts, or exfoliating agents like coffee grounds.

2. Avoid Cationic Ingredients:
   Our Cream Base is anionic, which means it cannot be combined with cationic ingredients (like cationic surfactants or conditioners). Stick to compatible ingredients to maintain the stability and performance of your formulation.

3. Temperature Control:
   If you’re incorporating ingredients that need to be heated (such as some oils or actives), make sure they are cooled to 104°F (40°C) or below before adding them to the base. Heating above this temperature can degrade the Liquid Germall Plus preservative, potentially compromising the safety and shelf life of your product. If the temperature exceeds this, you will need to add additional preservative.

4. Preservative Considerations:
   For most formulations, Liquid Germall Plus is effective at preventing microbial growth. However, if you add more than 10% active ingredients, consider assessing whether additional preservative is necessary to ensure product safety.

Conclusion

With our Cream Base, making your own coffee scrub or other skincare products is simple and rewarding. Use this customizable formula as a canvas for your unique creations, and follow our tips for a safe and effective batch every time.
