sugar for sugar scrubs
Posted by vinitaj3 on December 12, 2013 at 5:43 pmI am working on a coffee and sugar scrub.
I would like to know which company sells cosmetic grade granulated sugar (sucrose)?Herbnerd replied 10 years, 8 months ago 4 Members · 7 Replies -

If anybody does, it sounds like a excuse to rebrand a normal food product and increase the margin

When I formulated a sugar scrub with chunky organic sugar, we bought it from the local supermarket. Later we used to get it by the pallet load from the local 3663 cash and carry.
We could have got it from a cosmetic supply house that had a food service side to the business but the minimum order quantities were stupid high

Thank you.
Well I’m working on a natural line and what can be more natural than sugar itself?It does have great properties so then why use something chemical then?Thank you once again. -
Last time I checked sucrose [aka (2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-2-[(2S,3S,4S,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]oxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-3,4,5-triol] was a chemical.

You can get Sucrose BP, EP, USP/NF (Pharmaceutical grade not cosmetic
grade) - but as @Alchemist and @Duncan says, you will be charged a
premium for it and you would be better buying from the local cash and
carry store - unless of course, you do need Pharmaceutical grade for
some reason.
