DIY Entry #4: Homemade Sugar Scrub

Amanda whipped up some yummy homemade sugar scrub, which makes a great gift!

homemade sugar scrub

You will need:

- 25% Vegetable Glycerin (or coconut oil)
- 25% Grapeseed oil (optional – you can use just vegetable glycerin)
- 50% white sugar
- one or two drops of essential oil (I personally love pink grapefuit)
- Glass or plastic container (I bought mine at Walmart, but there’s a similar one here)
- ribbon, to decorate

Mix up all the goodies and voila!

Amanda was also kind enough to post her label, which can be downloaded {here}!

    I am definately going to have to try this. I use the sugar scrub from Trader Joe’s atleast once a week.

    thanks girls!

    I bought the oils at a vitamin shop, but I’m sure you can also find at your local farmer’s market. Also try Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s if you have one around your area.

    Brilliant! I would love to do these with flavored salt and give people “sugar and spice” favors!

    I just made some with coconut oil and grapefruit extract. The coconut oil was overpowering and I could hardly smell the grapefruit so if you want it a certain scent than use a scent-free oil. Wonderful recipe, Thanks!!
