Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract or oil
- 2 –3 drops red food coloring optional
Instructions
Melt the Coconut Oil
- Warm the coconut oil until soft and smooth. Do not make it too hot or it may melt the sugar.
Mix Sugar and Oil
- Mix the sugar with the warm coconut oil. Stir until the mixture feels soft but still a little grainy.
Add the Peppermint Flavor
- Add the peppermint extract. Mix well. Add more if you want a stronger mint smell.
Divide the Scrub Mix
- Place the scrub into two bowls. One part stays white, and the other part will be red.
Add Red Coloring
- Add red food color to one bowl. Mix until the color spreads evenly.
Layer the Scrub in Jars
- Add a white layer into the jar. Add a red layer on top. Keep doing this until the jar is full.
Seal and Store
- Close the lid tightly. Store the scrub in a cool and dry place.
Notes
- Use fine sugar for a gentle feel.
- Add more oil if the scrub feels too dry.
- Add one more drop of peppermint if you want a stronger smell.
- Use glass jars for a nice look.
- Use only a little coloring to avoid staining the skin.
