>8 oz demera sugar turbindo sugar
1 oz vegetable glycerin
1 oz liquid castile soap
1 oz cold pressed oil (jojoba or coconut)
1/2 tsp vitamin E
1/4 tsp essential oil
All these supplies were available at my local natural foods store. The castile soap was already infused with essential oil, so I was able to skip that ingredient. All the ingredients came to under $30. It’s enough to make $120 worth of sugar scrub if I bought it from a store. This is made fresh and will last about a month. If you’re not going to use it in a month or less either make a smaller batch or refrigerate it. If its cold though it will separate and the cold pressed oil will solidify so you’ll have to warm it to room temperature before using it.
Basically mix all the oils and soap into the sugar. It will separate slightly so you’ll need to stir it when you use it.
The raw sugar is brown so the color isn’t pretty, but it works as well exfoliating all over the body. You can use it on your face as well.
