2cupsgranulated sugar+ 1/2 cup more if needed, preferably organic
1/4cupcoconut oil,preferably organic
1/4cuphoney,preferably organic
1cupextra virgin olive oil,preferably organic
grapefruit essential oil,or essential oil of your choice
Instructions
Place the sugar in a food processor and pulse several times until the granules are smaller. (note: this step is optional but will make the scrub more gentle, especially on sensitive skin.)
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the coconut oil and honey together briefly until the coconut oil is just melted, approximately 10-20 seconds.
Place 2 cups of the sugar in a medium-sized bowl and stir in the coconut oil/honey mixture, followed by the olive oil. If desired, stir in an additional 1/4 - 1/2 cup sugar until the desired ratio of sugar to oil is reached (the oil shouldn't be seeping but there should be some excess).
Add the grapefruit essential oil until fragrant (I like a strong fragrance and added over 30 drops to mask the coconut smell).
Notes
Organic ingredients are not required, but conventional ingredients are more likely to be processed with chemicals. Since this product is being scrubbed into the skin, I prefer to use organic.
