Is this a good sugar to use for making sugar scrubs, and are there benefits in doing so??

I definitely think so...this is the sugar I use for making body scrubs. It is courser than "normal" sugar and seems to hold up well in the oils I use.

I don't see why it wouldn't be...it's a bit of a larger grain than your refined sugar, so I would think it would be better, in fact. The only benefit I could see is it is the raw product, not the bleached, refined product...but though think the larger grain would prove more efficient in exfoliating in a sugar scrub. Also, just fyi, but cutting a grapefruit in half, using half of the grapefruit and sprinkling or dipping the grapefruit in the sugar, you can use it to scrub your tub/sink and all the grime just comes off and rinses away...and its all natural...leaves a nice scent behind as well. :) I don't see why it wouldn't be...it's a bit of a larger grain than your refined sugar, so I would think it would be better, in fact.

I guess it should work, to me raw sugar seems a bit sweeter than white. just try it and see what happens.

sorry... I don't know. I use it in coffee, on cereal, etc. because its natural and not "refined".

I don't know what sugar scrubs are - this sugar is a tad sweeter than the refined bleached white garbage

I'm not using it for sugar so I don't know the answer to that. I have Tupperware canisters for my sugar. Sorry

I'm sorry, I don't use those products. It is 70% sweet as sugar, with the same taste as sugar, I hope that helps.

Karen,Thanks for asking. The answer is absolutely!In fact, we just used it to replace some brown sugar in a molasses cookie recipe. We did adjust the moisture a bit - we just winged it and they came our delicious. However, elevated temperatures do remove some of the prebiotic benefits. But it works great as a sugar substitute in baking.I hope this helps!MarkGold Source Labs

I think you'd have to check the ingredients list to be absolutely positive. However, I was under the assumption that it's just regular sugar in larger granules. So, imagine granules similar in size to sugar in the raw but white instead of brown. I haven't used this specific brand but I use sanding sugar on my fruit pies and everyone loves it! I go through so much of it when I bake in the summer that I buy it in bulk by the pound instead of little jars like Wilton sells. One bag will last me a year or so. I'm almost positive sparkling comes from the idea that the larger grains reflect light, there's no sparkling agent added. No glitter, lustre dust etc... Just sugar.

I use my body wash before and use the sugar scrub last, It leaves your skin so soft...

Yes. It works the same as regular sugar, except it is not quite as sweet as regular sugar, which I happen to like. You need to add a little extra to make it the same exact sweetness as regular sugar.

I use it in my home made sugar scrub, and have never had any problems. I would think using it in lotion would be fine, as well!

Yes! This is what would be called for in a recipe which calls for glucose syrup. This product has a similar consistency to corn syrup! (Or you could just use corn syrup instead!)

Yes, I found this sugar very coarse. I had wanted to use this on Snowflake cookies last Christmas to have them "glisten" and ended up smashing them with my rolling pin since they were to chunky for what I needed. I hope this helps you.

Use this product on a damp clean face. Know that the sugar granules are quite large and if you have sensitive skin you want to use rather more water. You can leave it on for 5 minutes or so and then scrub it off. Or you can scrub it with water that is warm for about a minute and a half. Both ways work really well.

I dont think this sponge will be sturdy enough to use for heavy scrubbing. It's very soft and squishy - you can ball it up in your hand (and then it bounces back into shape). It's really better for dishes. For soap scum in tub, i have used those plastic handled scrub pads which are perfect.

I have not used brown sugar. I use it for almond meal and almond/coconut flours. It works wonderfully. Brown sugar is a little course, but so is almond meal. I say give it a try. Amazon is fabulous for exchanging it does not meet your expectations. Hope this helps a little. :)

I use this to make jams and jellies with very low sugar. I have never had a problem cooking it, or using it to add to a batch that is too large for a traditional box. Use low sugar boxes with this if you mix. I try to get the same brand as well, for consistency.

You can use this in baking, but you will need to adjust the recipe. I have used apple sauce and stevia to replace sugar; applesauce replaces the bulk of the sugar. You have to experiment and there are probably some recipes on the internet now.

This packet is going to last you months (possibly 3-4) even if you use it 3-4 times a day. The amount of Stevia needed to sweeten a beverage is incredibly low (1/64th of a tsp). I am guessing buying sugar is costlier than buying Stevia

Nope this sugar is not refined, you need to used what the recipe calls for, hope this answers your question
