Delicious Scrub Recipe

1/2 cup organic coconut oil

1 tablespoon vitamin e
Lavender Essential Oil

Scrubs are a wonderful way to gently exfoliate and leave you feeling fresh and renewed. Making your own is a breeze, and most the time you can use what you already have at home. I start with a recycled jar, and then add a little bit of the salt, sugar, coconut oil {one at a time so I can control the consistency} and then add the rest of the ingredients.
Let me know your thoughts if you try it out!

Looks awesome. I just need to get my hands on those oils!
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing!

Great idea! I have a body scrub I make up myself for in the shower. I just use raw sugar (the grains are a bit bigger), olive oil, and about 10 drops of whatever essential oil I'm loving at the moment. Works a treat, and so cheap!
ReplyDeleteThose sound amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing! And a must try after all my manual labor this weekend putting a new roof on the shed! I will have to try. Thanks for sharing. Hope your having a wonderful weekend!

How cute! I was just thinking a few weeks ago how I have to purchase a new scrub but I may try my own now. And how fun to go find my own jar. YAY!
ReplyDeleteI think I will make these for teacher gifts! I have some jam jars that will be sweet!

ReplyDeletethis looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing!!! I bet it smells gorgeous.
ReplyDeletei keep coming back to this post and love it! i found some at trader joe's that is delightful but i still wonder if homemade is better .. of course it is!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, I've been looking for a scrub to make, and this looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteJust saw this on Pinterest... I love it! I just received a jar of coconut oil to review and this would be a wonderful way to feature it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy roommate and I just made this. Love it . We added grapefruit zest and Orange essential oils . Love it
ReplyDeletehow long does the scrub last for?
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find vitamin e?
ReplyDeleteI made this and it is very nice and smells awesome!
ReplyDeleteSherry
Sounds like a great scrub! Found you on pinterest, I was wondering if you would mind if I repinned this? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI tried the brown sugar scrub last night... gross! I used virgin, all natural olive oil instead of evoo, though.
ReplyDeleteThat's a bummer- Definitely makes a difference if you use olive oil vs. almond or coconut though...smell, consistency, etc. is all not going to be the same.
DeleteJust tried brown sugar, smells awful. Followed the ingredients to a T! Very runny also, suppose the consistency could be based on the amount of oil, but I used the amount listed.
ReplyDeleteOh, this recipe calls for cane sugar- not brown sugar.
DeleteBrown sugar would not give you the same consistency... I've never used brown sugar in any scrubs- can't help you out there. I would add more sugar though if it's runny.
Above it actually does give a recipe for brown sugar scrub (For a brown sugar scrub, try 2 cups brown sugar, 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla) Is there brown cane sugar???
DeleteYou are so right. Apologize- I haven't tried the brown sugar before, I included it as I had probably seen the recipe in a magazine or something. I will take it down immediately. Again, apologies.
Deletethank you so much for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHow much does this recipe make?
ReplyDeleteSo you just mix all ingredients together and ... Voila?! So much easier than making soap!
ReplyDeleteHow much lavender oil did everyone add to this?
ReplyDeleteHi Renee- I would say 15-30 drops. It really depends on how fragrant you want the scrub to be.
DeleteI adapted your recipe slightly, but loved the results! I made a batch and put it into salve jars for a little something for my gal pals this Christmas. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteso happy to hear that!
Deletehi there, can we use it for the face too ? thanks for all of ya !!
ReplyDeletethat looks awesome. what is the shelf life on the scrub
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this thank you:-)
ReplyDeleteCan you substitute almond oil for grape seed oil?
ReplyDeleteDo you use solid Coconut oil or fractionated? Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLoved this, substituted peppermint oil for lavender, thanks for sharing!!
