Pineapple Sugar Scrub
2 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Sweet Almond Oil
1 tsp Vitamin E
Pineapple Slices Fragrance Oil
In a bowl combine the first three ingredients, stirring well to form an even, wet mixture. Add fragrance oil to mixture starting with 1 teaspoon and increasing until desired fragrance is achieved.

How long is this good for? Would you need to add a preservative for selling?
This can last 2-3 weeks; if you’d like it to last longer you can use Germaben ii E .

The recommended usage range of the Germaben ii E is 0.5% to 1% of the total volume/weight of the recipe; so for this recipe around 0.12 oz (0.5% preservative usage rate of the recipe) of the preservative would work.
How did you convert percentage of Germaben ii e to ounces? Can you have too much preservative in a product?
The recommended usage range of the Germaben ii E is 0.5% to 1% of the total volume/weight of the recipe; in this case the recipe’s total volume is around 24.33 oz. Yes, usage too much preservative can destabilize the recipe, and/or cause adverse side effects.
