In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar, coconut oil, and shea butter. If your coconut oil is melted, place it in the refrigerator for several minutes to solidify.

Using a hand mixer, whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, with a texture similar to frosting. This may take anywhere from 5–10 minutes, depending on the solidity of the oils. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl regularly.

Add 10–15 drops of your preferred essential oil and mix until fully incorporated. If you'd like to add additional ingredients, like vitamin E or honey, you can do so now.

Transfer the whipped sugar scrub to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
