Thanks to my housemate for the inspiration, I knocked these little gifts up last night.
Peppermint sugar scrub is super easy to make and is a great way to give a thoughtful gift without breaking the bank.
You’ll need:
Jars – I used 250ml jars, but it’s up to you.
Ribbon
1L coconut oil
1-1.5kg sugar (raw or caster sugar)
Natural food colouring
Peppermint essential oil
Ensuring the coconut oil is soft, place it in a bowl and combine with the sugar.
Mix well. You may want to add more sugar to the mix to give it more texture.
Add 2 drops of colouring, being careful not too use too much, or your jars will end up looking like the grinch!
Add 10 drops of peppermint oil. Ensure you don’t use too much, as the purpose is to invigorate, not burn.
Mix thoroughly and spoon into jars, then decorate however you wish.
I also used the same recipe with lemon oil and salt instead of sugar. Delish!
Peace, love and health,
Mandah xo
