Instructions
Melt coconut oil and cocoa butter into liquid form. I used the microwave, it took about 1-2 minutes. You can also use a double boiler.
Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix to incorporate. Store in plastic or glass jars. Use on body 1-2 times a week for deep exfoliation.
Notes
You can also use all coconut oil but the cocoa butter is very moisturizing and keeps the scrub together well.
Make sure the coconut oil and cocoa butter are melted before assembling and
Be careful when handling he hot cocoa butter and coconut oil.
