Sugar Scrub Cubes
No more mess! And no more water-logged jars of body scrub in the shower. These sugar scrub cubes are convenient, easy to make, and super giftable.
Yield: 12 cubes
Cost: $8
Equipment
- Medium bowl
- Silicone mold or ice cub tray
Materials
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 ounces melt-and-pour soap
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
Choose from the following scent combinations:
- ¼ cup ground coffee + seeds from one vanilla bean
- 1 ½ tablespoons dried rose petals + 1 teaspoon beet powder + 15 drops myrrh oil
- 1 tablespoon dried heather blossoms + 15 drops grapefruit oil + food coloring optional
Instructions
- Place the oil and melt-and-pour soap in separate bowls. Microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring in between each, until completely melted.
- Pour sugar into a medium sized bowl. Add the melted coconut oil and soap.
- Add in optional scents or other ingredients of your choosing. Stir.
- Quickly move mixture to a mold and let firm up (putting it in the freezer for 20 minutes helps).
- To use, simply take a cube into the shower with you and break up with your hands slightly. Wet the mixture ever so slightly, then scrub away!
