So, let’s take a look at what is an emulsified body scrub and how it is different from regular DIY scrub.

What Is An Emulsified Scrub?

The main difference between a regular scrub and an emulsified scrub is the extra ingredient called an emulsifier. The job of an emulsifier is to allow oil and water to mix.

When emulsified scrub comes in contact with water, the emulsifier helps to convert the scrub into a lotion-like solution on the skin. It also helps to rinse off the scrub without leaving an oily residue on the skin.

Emulsified scrubs are more like a midway between a lotion or a cream than a regular scrub. They have a creamy, thick texture and are very moisturizing.

Some of the basic differences between regular scrub and emulsified scrub are –

Benefits Of Green Tea Emulsified Body Scrub

This emulsified sugar scrub is made with ingredients that are very beneficial for achieving healthier skin. Let’s take a look at what are the ingredients and how they are useful for skin-

Shea Butter

Shea butter has anti-inflammatory and healing properties which help in minimization of irritation due to dry weather and other environmental causes as well as eczema-like conditions of the skin. The fatty acids and vitamins in it help in making skin soft and moisturized.

Shea butter also helps boost collagen production, and also promotes cell regeneration thanks to its moisturizing and antioxidant properties working with unity.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is a great moisturizer for dry and chapped skin because it penetrates deeply. It is rich in fatty acids which help to make skin soft and glowing. Olive oil has a high content of antioxidants and Vitamin E which help to maintain the elasticity of the skin and also enhance the skin cell regeneration process.

Olive oil can fight off bacteria because of its antibacterial properties and can hence prevent acne. It is also best for oily & sensitive skin or if you have any skin conditions like dermatitis.

Matcha Green Tea Powder

The Catechins’ in it that help trap and deactivate free radicals in your skin, thus slowing down signs of aging. The anti-inflammatory property of the matcha green tea powder also helps in reducing redness, soothes the skin, and makes it appear fresh and healthy. 

Sugar

Sugar helps with exfoliation and removes the first layer of dead skin cells along with impurities and excess oils. Exfoliation will make your skin look brighter than before due to the removal of dirt, dead cells, and oil from your skin.

Emulsifying Wax NF

It is extracted from the fatty acids of plant oils. It is a common ingredient for making skin care products like lotions and creams. It helps to combine water and oil and converts the mixture into a lotion-like solution.

The emulsifying wax NF converts an emulsified body scrub into a lotion-like solution after mixing with water. It helps to make a scrub non-greasy on the skin and also exfoliates dead skin cells.

Stearic Acid

Its primary function is to act as a thickener and give the scrub its texture. When used in emulsified sugar scrubs, it thickens the scrub without the weight and waxiness of waxes. Due to this, the oil does not separate from the scrub mixture.

It is a type of saturated fatty acid that is extracted from vegetable fats and oils. It also acts as an emulsifier while making scrubs.
