Supplies Needed

Wide mouth half pint mason jars
Printable jar label – download it here
White cardstock paper
Scissors
Decorative twine or ribbon
½ cup sugar
2 ½ tablespoons coconut oil
10-15 drops of lavender essential oil

A note about coconut oil: If you enjoy making homemade scrubs and lotions, you will find yourself going through coconut oil at a pretty quick pace. I like to buy organic coconut oil in bulk at Sam’s Club or Costco – or order online with free shipping here. It’s way less expensive than buying in a smaller jar at the grocery store.

Tutorial: Lavender Sugar Scrub Recipe

grab a wide mouth half pint mason jar. This is important, since the recipe is tailored to fit exactly in this jar. If you want to make more, just multiply the three basic ingredients: ½ cup sugar, 2 ½ tablespoons coconut oil, and 10-15 drops of lavender essential oil. Then you can make multiple jars or one larger jar.
On low power in the microwave, melt the coconut oil. Watch the coconut oil carefully. Heat just until the coconut oil begins to melt. If there are tiny bits of solid coconut oil, that is just fine. Give them a quick stir to melt.
Add the lavender essential oil and then the sugar. Stir to combine.
Print the mason jar label (found here) onto white cardstock paper. Note: this label will only work on a wide mouth jar.
Cut out the label and place it inside the mason jar ring. Close the mason jar, and add decorative twine o ribbon bow if you would like.
