    you don’t want to use sea salt bc can cause itchy or painful when your body has been scratched 
    Use raw sugar or epsom salt

    50 to 65%, no water
    why water? You can get problems of salts that will soluble in water. Your formula may not work. Taking Mr. Perry’s online course will help you understand the components of cream , lotion, scrubs

    i suggest you develop emulsified sugar scrubs. It is better for body scrub bc
    1. Exfoliating 
    2 moisturizing
