Homemade Peppermint Sugar Scrub

Homemade Peppermint Sugar Scrub

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

2 tsp. rosehip oil or almond oil-optional

8-10 peppermints

Directions:

Place the mints in a mini food processor or coffee grinder. Pulverize until they are dust. We have purchased a coffee grinder just for our diy beauty projects, and you may want to consider this if you plan on doing a lot of DIY beauty products too!

Combine sugar, oils, and peppermint dust in a large bowl.

img_2765Add peppermint essential oil to scent to your desired strength. We like ours pretty strong so it leaves a wonderful scent behind and the aroma is great for cold season as well.

Stir well to combine ingredients thoroughly.

Transfer the sugar scrub to a pint mason jar or other container with a tight fitting lid and keep in a dry place. Also we suggest NOT placing a glass jar anywhere in your bathroom. If you plan to keep it there, use a plastic jar to avoid breakage!

To use: Scoop out a generous amount of scrub and vigorously scrub onto wet skin in bath or shower, rinse skin well and pat dry with a towel. Rinse shower floor out well, as it can make it slippery.

    How long does this last in a sealed container? Does it get moldy?

    I like how you showed what all the ingredients looked like in the bowl before you mixed them! The mints are a great addition too.

    Hi I made this in a large batch, doubling the recipe. It smells fantastic. My only issue is the coconut oil solidified quite a bit on the top. The sugar was harder. Than I liked. . Should I use less or more oil?

    Thank you,
    Tracy

    Tracy – If it’s kept in cold conditions, it will harden up the coconut oil a little bit. You could also use fractionated coconut oil in it if you prefer, as that will stay completely liquid. Also, if you have it in the shower when you’re taking a hot shower, that will also soften it up quite a bit. Coconut oil melts around 76 degrees, so your body temperature will soften / melt it.
