sugar scrub

Here’s The Basic Recipe:

Use 2 parts sugar (regular white or brown sugar work great) to 1 part oil (almond, olive and coconut are great), add 1/2 tsp Vitamin E oil (or the gel from a few capsules), add other optional ingredients, and mix well.

Sound simple? It is!

Here are a few of my favorite combinations:

• Pumpkin Pie Scrub: 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1/2 tsp vitamin E oil and 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spices (or just 1/2 tsp cinnamon)
• Vanilla Brown Sugar Scrub: 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup almond oil, 1/2 tspVitamin E oil and 1 tsp real vanilla extract
• Lemon Hand Scrub (for after washing dishes): 1 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 tsp vitamin E oil, 15-20 drops (or more) of lemon or orange essential oil
• Vanilla Lavender Relaxing Facial Scrub: 1 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup almond oil, 1/2 tsp Vitamin E oil, 1/2 tsp real vanilla extract and 15 drops lavender essential oil

whipped body butter

Ingredients

• ½ cup Shea Butter
• ½ cup Cocoa Butter or Mango Butter
• ½ cup Coconut Oil
• ½ cup light oil like almond, olive or jajoba
• Optional: Essential Oils for scent- I like using 10-30 drops depending on the essential oils used. Peppermint and Citrus/Lavender and favorites at our house.

Instructions

1. In a double boiler or glass bowl, combine all ingredients except essential oils.
2. Bring to medium heat and stir constantly until all ingredients are melted.
3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Move to fridge and let cool another 1 hour or until starting to harden but still somewhat soft.
5. Use a hand mixer to whip for 10 minutes until fluffy.
6. Return to fridge for 10-15 minutes to set.
7. Store in a glass jar with a lid and use as you would regular lotion or body butter. If your home stays above 75 degrees, it may soften and need to be kept at the fridge, but it will stay whipped at a temperature lower than that.
8. Enjoy!

lip balm

• 1 part beeswax (example- 1 tablespoon)
• 2 parts shea, cocoa or mango butter (example-2 tablespoons)
• 2 parts coconut oil (example-2 tablespoons)
• 20 drops of essential oil of choice (or more or less to your preference) I use 20+ drops of peppermint essential oil for a cooling and refreshing lip chap.

Instructions

1. Put about an inch of water in the bottom of a small pan and turn on medium heat.
2. Place a small (pint size or smaller) jar in the water, being careful not to get in water inside the jar.
3. Place all ingredients except the essential oils inside the glass jar and slowly melt, making sure not to get any water in jar. I use 2 tablespoons each of the butter(s) and coconut oil and 1 tablespoons of beeswax. This fills about 18 tubes.
4. When all ingredients are melted, stir well and turn off heat, but leave jar in the water to keep warm.
5. Stir in the essential oils.
6. Use a glass dropper to quickly fill the containers. I leave the jar in the water but turn off the heat to keep the ingredients liquid while I do this.
7. The mixture will settle slightly as it cools, so I also re-top the containers after about 2 minutes as they start to harden.
8. Let sit without touching for several hours or until completely hardened.
9. Store in a cool dry place (they will last for at least a year if stored correctly).
10. Enjoy!
