When a kindergarten parent gifted me sugar scrub, bath salts and room sprays for an end of the year gift my first thought was, "Awe. That's cute!". Now also understand, this same parent gifted me wine at Christmas and I had no clue what essential oils were. She had told me she used essential oils (whatever those were) in the recipes and I was a complete sceptic. But y'all... after using that sugar scrub one time in the shower I was hooked! And apparently my husband was too since it disappeared pretty quickly. As soon as I ran out I contacted her and the rest is history ( I got a starter bundle of the most popular essential oils & my eyes were opened to all the toxins we were using as a family).
So let's just get right to it...
What you will need:
4 oz - 8 oz glass jars (this batch with cover 2 four ounce jars)
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of organic coconut oil (solid)
30-40 drops of your favorite essential oil
vanilla extract (optional)
Gather all ingredients and mix in a medium sized bowl. You can add more coconut oil or sugar based on the texture that best fits to your liking. Stir well and scoop into a glass jar. Easy as that!
My favorite essential oils to use when creating a sugar scrub are those that support my emotions but also smell nice. My go-to's are usually orange essential oil, but sometimes I like to mix it up with stress away essential oil or peace and calming essential oil.
That's it. Now go enjoy a nice relaxing bath and shower with your diy sugar scrub. And don't forget to let me know what essential oils you tried! I love trying out new scents & combos in my sugar scrub.
