Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 10 drops Essential oil (e.g., lavender, peppermint, or citrus)
- 2 drops Optional: Food coloring (for aesthetic appeal)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 0.5 cup of melted coconut oil.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the sugar is evenly coated with the coconut oil, creating a paste-like texture.
Add 10 drops of your preferred essential oil for fragrance (e.g., lavender for relaxation, citrus for freshness, or peppermint for invigoration). Stir well to distribute the scent evenly.
If desired, add 2 drops of food coloring to the mixture for a decorative touch. Be sure to mix thoroughly until the color is even.
Transfer the completed sugar scrub into an airtight container, such as a glass jar with a lid, for storage.
To use, scoop a small amount of the sugar scrub into your hands and gently massage it onto damp skin in circular motions. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry.
