Serving Size 1 cup

Equipment

  • 8 oz jar with a lid

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup coarse sea salt or Epsom salt
  • 1/3 cup coarse white sugar
  • 2 tbsp finely ground oats
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (almond, jojoba, grapeseed etc)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 6 drops lemon essential oil
  • 6 drops peppermint essential oil

Instructions

  • Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine coarse salt, sugar, ground oats, and lemon zest until evenly blended.
  • Add oils: Stir in a neutral liquid oil of your choice and your essential oils. Slowly add melted coconut oil, mixing until the scrub is thick and moist but not wet. To adjust, add a bit more oil if too dry, or a little more salt/sugar if too wet.
