Servings 3
Equipment
- plastic or glass jars to store in
Ingredients
- 3 cups sugar , I like turbinado sugar for a course scrub and brown sugar for a milder scrub, or a mix of both
- 3/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 6 tablespoons cocoa butter , melted if using discs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ginger
- 1 tablespoons nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons ground cloves
- 1 tablespoons allspice
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.
