DIY Entry #4: Homemade Sugar Scrub

November 3, 2008

Posted in DIY, beauty, favors, good things by Ami Elizabeth

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

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.

I love this! Anyone know where to buy the oils?

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!!

Love the Sugar Scrub label. How do it get the flowers to show
up on the design. I get the letters pcl instead.
