What you will need:
- 1 1/4 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 cup of any carrier oil (Avocado, Grapeseed, Apricot, Fractionated Coconut oil, etc.)
- 10 drops of any essential oil (or blend of oil) of your choice
- Gift container (or DIY one )
Step #1

In a mixing bowl combine sugar, carrier oil and 10 drops of any essential oil. You may use slightly more or less carrier oil, but I find the proportion posted above is the best.
For carrier oil, I usually use any oil except regular cooking oils (Canola, Olive) as I find their scents not very appealing. But it's up to you! Cooking oils will work the same way. As for essential oils, I like sweet orange, lavender, pine or blends. You may choose any scent you like.
Step #2
Package the scrub in a proper container, decorate, add gift tags.
Some packaging ideas:
- small (or big!) mason jar decorated with ribbons and/ or labels
- DIY decorated container from an old hair mask or scrub.
- You may add a gift box if you wish
Gift! This scrub is an excellent gift for Christmas, Mother's Day or any other occasion. I personally make quite a few jars every winter for myself. This scrub is much more cost effective than store-bought sugar scrubs and contains no preservatives.
Tip! You may substitute white sugar for brown sugar for a more coarse scrub. Also, the recipe should work with sea salt scrub if you choose to make one!
