If you’re looking for an incredibly easy and affordable gift that will go pretty far, look no further. Below is an amazing go-to sugar scrub recipe you can use to make gifts for a hostesses, Mother’s day, bridal showers, and a hundreds of other occasions. This recipe will makes for 6 x 4oz Lavender sugar scrub presentations.
My personal favorite essential oil to use is lavender with just a touch of peppermint oil to really amplify that mind-clearing cooling effect it has, but you can definitely swap the lavender and peppermint out for lemon, eucalyptus, orange, or any other oil you prefer.*
Lavender Sugar Scrub
1 cup virgin coconut oil
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
10-15 drops of Lavender essential oil
3-5 drops of Peppermint essential oil
Red food coloring
Blue food coloring
6 4 oz mason jars with lids
Option: Twine and Labels
In a microwave safe measuring cup, buzz the Coconut oil in the microwave for 20 seconds, stir, and repeat until the oil is just melted but not hot.
In a large glass bowl, add the sugar, coconut oil, 10-15 drops of lavender oil, 3-5 drops of peppermint oil, one drop of red food coloring, and one drop or blue food coloring. Mix the ingredients into a homogeneous mixture. Waft the bowl towards your nose to check for the smell and add oils is desired.
Spoon the mixture into 6 jars and cover with a lid. Option to tie a bow around the neck of the jar and hang a label showing what kind of scrub you’ve made.
Happy Gifting!!
