4 DIY Christmas Sugar Scrub Recipes

sugar

fractionated coconut oil

tbsp tapioca starch

tsp yellow clay

vanilla vanilla

orange oil

cinnamon leaf

Coloured sugar crystals

brown sugar

tonka bean absolute

tsp red clay (optional)

tonka bean oil

nutmeg essential oil

nutmeg (optional)

tsp pink food colouring powder or beet powder

almond oil

Candy cane sprinkles to garnish (optional)

Food processor

Silicone spatula

Clean equipment

Before making your holiday body scrubs, be sure to wash your supplies with hot, soapy water.

Combine sugar and oil

Begin by combining your sugar and oil in the food processor. Keep the processor going until the sugar is finely ground and the mixture forms a soft paste.

Add essential oils

Next, add your desired essential oils or baking extracts to fragrance your sugar scrub. Pulse to combine.

Add starch and scrub color

Add your starch and desired colorant, such as clay, spices, or beet powder. Blend until combined. All of these ingredients can affect the texture and colour of your scrub, so they should be added at the same time. Then, you can correct if necessary.

Check scrub texture

Stir your sugar scrub with a spoon and take note of the texture and color. It should have the consistency of cookie dough or damp sand. However, this may differ depending on the ingredients. If it's too wet, add a bit more starch to your preference. If it's too dry, add a touch more oil. And if your scrub doesn't look the want you want it to, add more colorant until you are satisfied. Blend to combine.Tip: The gingerbread sugar scrub may require more starch, as brown sugar contains more moisture than white sugar.

Package

Once you've achieved your desired color and texture, your scrub is ready for packaging. Place it into your desired jar and affix a gift label. Your Christmas body scrub is now ready to gift.
