Sugar Body Scrub (almost good enough to eat)

doterra sugar body scrub

Have you every made a sugar body scrub or other homemade beauty products?  Did you know you can make a body scrub out of coffee grinds? (That’s another post).  Apart from eating ‘clean’ most of the time, over the last few years I have also been trying to reduce the amount of chemicals I expose my body too.

From moisturiser to foundation, mascara, shampoo (not a great success), to laundry detergent, I have been looking for products that are chemical free and far more ‘natural’.  I am wanting to reduce my body’s ‘toxic load’.  Whilst I don’t think you can ever totally remove chemicals from our lives, I am increasing hippy-ish and embracing reduced chemicals.

I have actually made my own body scrubs on and off over many years, not consistently, but often.  Now that I have a nice growing collection of doTERRA essential oils, I thought it was time to get making them again.  They are so EASY and cheap and quick!  I have had a few friends over recently and we’ve made them together and it’s fun to smell what oils everyone likes in theirs?  Relaxing or invigorating?  I’m drawn to the invigorating oils, so I made mine with lemongrass and a couple of blends – Elevation and Smart & Sassy – think citrus, Ylang Ylang & Sandalwood.  I think next time I’ll add a few drops of peppermint too! If you are somewhere in or near Brisbane and want me to come and run a sugar scrub workshop with your friends at your place, let me know annabel@whatannabelcooks.com.

Mixed with raw sugar and macadamia oil it’s perfect to scrub your arms and legs in the shower, leaving you nicely moisturised.  You can use any number of carrier oils – jojoba, fractionated coconut, sweet almond, grapeseed etc.

Sugar Body Scrub with Essential Oils

  • 1 jar
  • raw sugar
  • carrier oil
  • essential oils – about 15-20 drops altogether
  1. Fill your jar with raw sugar to about 2/3 full.
  2. Slowly pour in your carrier oil and stir.
  3. Add enough oil to be somewhat runny but not too much – really it depends on the consistency you’d like.
  4. Add your essential oils & stir again.
  5. Done! Told you it was quick & easy.

This is about the consistency I went with:

So have the oil sitting in a layer above the sugar…
