How to Make a Simple Coffee Scrub
- Mix. In a bowl, stir 2 tablespoons of coffee powder with 2 tablespoons of a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil.
- Add texture. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar for extra scrubbing, if you like.
- Patch test. Try a small amount on the inside of your arm first.
- Massage. Massage gently over damp skin using small circles, avoiding the eyes and any broken skin.
- Rinse. Rinse with warm water, pat dry and moisturise. Make fresh and use it straight away.
Using It in Soap & Scrubs ▼
These are common maker starting points, not fixed rules. Results vary with your recipe, so always test a small batch first.
| Use | Starting amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Scrubs | 2 tbsp coffee powder + 2 tbsp carrier oil (+ 1 tbsp sugar) | Mix fresh and use straight away. Add a preservative to anything you want to keep. |
| Cold process soap | About 1 tsp-1 tbsp per 500 g of soap oils | Stir in at trace. Gives a speckled brown look and a mild scrub. |
| Melt and pour soap | About 1 tsp per 500 g of base | Stir in just before pouring so it does not all sink. |
| Bath blends | 1-2 tbsp in a mesh bag | Rinse the tub afterwards. |
| Masks | 1 tsp mixed with clay and liquid | Use fresh. |
Tips & Troubleshooting ▼
| Problem | Likely cause | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Mix spoils or smells off | Plant powders grow mould in water | Mix fresh, use straight away and discard leftovers. Add a suitable preservative to anything you plan to keep. |
| Lumps or specks in a product | Powder not dispersed | Wet the powder with a little oil or glycerine first, then add it to the rest of the mix. |
| Stains skin or fabric | Natural plant pigments | Protect clothing and surfaces, and rinse skin well after use. |
| Colour changes in soap | Natural colours are sensitive to pH, heat and light | Test a small batch first, and use a skin-safe mica if you need a stable colour. |
| Coffee sinks to the bottom of soap | Heavy particles | Stir in at a thicker trace and pour quickly. |
