Autumn is right around the corner and there’s no better time to start creating products for the season. This Skin Brightening Turmeric and Pumpkin Body Scrub combines the natural exfoliating power of our Glowing Skin Sugar Scrub Base with the nourishing benefits of Organic Turmeric Powder and Pumpkin Seed Oil. Infused with the delightful scent of Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmallow , this scrub will not only exfoliate away dead skin cells but also leave your skin feeling soft, radiant, and delicately fragranced. Let’s explore this simple yet indulgent recipe. 

Our Glowing Skin Sugar Scrub Base

Our Glowing Skin Sugar Scrub Base has many benefits as it is made with skin loving ingredients such as:

High Oleic Safflower Oil: Rich in oleic acid, this oil helps to improve skin’s moisture retention. This oil is also non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores.

Rosemary Leaf Extract: Rosemary leaf extract has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to sooth and calm irritated skin.

Vitamin E:  Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help to protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radicals, which can cause damage and premature aging.

Benefits of Organic Turmeric Powder

Organic Turmeric Powder is an amazing ingredient that has skin brightening properties, anti-inflammatory properties, and is full of antioxidants. Here are some benefits of using our Organic Turmeric Powder in a body scrub: 

Mild Exfoliation: Turmeric Powder is a great option for a gentle exfoliator. When used in a body scrub, turmeric can help unclog pores, improve skin texture, and even enhance product absorption.

Skin Brightening: The active compound, Curcumin, in turmeric powder helps to brighten and create a more even skin tone. The curcumin reduces melanin production, which can help lighten existing dark spots and prevent new ones from forming.

Natural Colorant: Turmeric’s natural pigment is perfect for a pumpkin body scrub recipe. It will naturally provide your scrub with a beautiful orange hue.

Benefits of Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil

Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil is a highly moisturizing and nourishing oil that offers a multitude of benefits for the skin such as: 

Deep Moisturization & Nourishment: Pumpkin Seed Oil is rich is essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it an excellent moisturizer that deeply nourishes the skin. It also has a high content of Vitamin E and Zinc that both help to improve skin elasticity and provide intense hydration. 

Combat Signs of Aging: The high levels of Vitamin E help to protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which are a major contributor to premature aging of the skin. The presence of zinc and selenium in this oil aid in collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

      Hi Rhonda,

      We offer a variety of melt and pour soaps for you to experiment with. Making soap is as simple as melting it down, adding color and fragrance if you like, then pouring in molds.
