The paper presents the study of physicochemical properties of sugar scrubs (peel), which are available on the Polish market and according to our recipe. Their physicochemical, rheological and organoleptic properties were designated. Results. Studies have shown that sugar cane is an excellent raw material for their production. Peels in which the shape of particles of sugar was sharp and crystals was the biggest results in the best exfoliation properties. Results of organopletic properties depend on the composition of the oil phase. Conclusions. For the consumer less important is the look and smell of a cosmetic.
