Mint Sugar Scrub
Follow this easy recipe for an invigorating mint body scrub. The directions make three jars of scrub.
You will need:
Mint Sugar Scrub labels printed in color on card stock
Microwave
Three 4-ounce mason jars with lids and bands
Thin ribbon or twine
½ cup coconut oil
1 ½- 2 cups sugar
Peppermint essential oil or 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Green food coloring
Glue stick
Hole punch
Scissors or pinking shears
Microwave-safe mixing bowl
Spoon
Directions:
- Microwave the coconut oil in the mixing bowl for 15 to 20 seconds. The oil should soften but not melt.
- Add about 10 drops of peppermint essential oil and 2-4 drops of green food coloring. Stir until blended.
- Gently stir in 1 ½ cups of sugar. Try not to break the sugar crystals too much. The texture should be grainy. If the mixture is too wet, add up to ½ cup more sugar.
- Spoon the scrub into the mason jars, put on the lids, and screw on the bands until tight.
- Cut the labels along the solid black borders and fold them in half along the dashed lines. Glue the front and back together using a glue stick. Cut out the round label and punch a hold where indicated.
- Thread ribbon through the hole and tie it to a jar. As an alternative, place a label between the lid and band and wrap the band with ribbon.
