  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 20-30 drops orange essential oil
  • zest of one organic orange

  • At this point add more cinnamon or oil, depending on your preference, if you want a darker or more fragrant scrub. Also add more coconut oil, about 2-4 tablespoons, if you want a scrub that looks more like a paste.

  • Spoon scrub into jars, decorate if desired and store in a cool and dark place (or just in your bathroom). Ideally use up within one month.

Notes

  • Feel free to use other types of essential oils or a combination of a few different scents. 
  • For a more decadent scrub, you can add some Demerara or Turbinado sugar to the mix.
  • Don’t use this scrub on your face! Or any very sensitive area. It’s a great scrub to exfoliate with before you shave your legs, for example, but not something you want to rub over sensitive areas.
