Supplies you’ll need to make Lavender Sugar Scrub
A note about coconut oil: If you enjoy making homemade scrubs and lotions, you will find yourself going through coconut oil at a pretty quick pace. I like to buy organic coconut oil in bulk at Sam’s Club or Costco. It’s way less expensive than buying in a smaller jar at the grocery store.
How to Make Lavender Sugar Scrub
This recipe will fill one wide mouth half pint mason jar. If you want to make more, just multiply the three basic ingredients: ½ cup sugar, 2 ½ tablespoons coconut oil, and 10-15 drops of lavender essential oil.
On low power, melt the coconut oil in the microwave. Watch the coconut oil carefully. Heat it just until it melts. If there are tiny bits of solid coconut oil, that is just fine. Give them a quick stir to melt.
Add the lavender essential oil and then the sugar. Stir to combine.
Print off the mason jar label (found here) on white cardstock paper. Note: this label will only work on a wide mouth jar.
Cut out the label and place it inside the mason jar ring. Close the mason jar, and add a decorative ribbon or twine bow if you would like.
You can add this lavender sugar scrub to a basket filled with other scented goodies such as lavender bath bombs, lavender soap, lavender milk bath, and lavender candles. All of which are fairly straightforward to make and are the perfect DIY gift for Mother’s Day!
I love using this sugar scrub to treat my hands. I use it before bed since the lavender is so relaxing. The coconut oil moisturizes my hands and nails, and I wake up in the morning with soft hands.
