A play on edible beauty, this is a recipe combining inspiration from at-home food kits, fun and interesting textures, the boom of boba teas, and international influences.
A bouncy body cleanser that glides over skin to gently exfoliate and cleanse. The naturally derived ingredients of this formula allow for the unique texture which holds it’s shape when introduced to water.
Rubbing in circular motion delivers a small foaming activity and stimulating effect without the rough feeling of other large particle exfoliators. Upon rinse off a clean softened feel is left to the skin.

Procedure
- Combine Phase A together and allow to mix well. Heat batch to 80-85°C.
- In a side-phase, combine Phase B to make a slurry. Once main batch reaches 80-85°C, slowly add Phase B to main phase. Allow to mix well for a few minutes to allow gel to fully develop.
- Add Phase C and allow to mix well until batch is uniform and homogeneous.
- While maintaining batch at 80-85°C, pour batch into silicone molds and allow to set at room temperature until solidified.
