Yield: 1 jar
Materials
- 3 tablespoons fine grain salt (I used iodized salt)
- 5 tablespoons coarse grain salt (I used kosher salt)
- ½ cup liquid coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh citrus zest such as orange, lemon, or tangerine
- 4 drops grapefruit essential oil
- 4 drops tangerine essential oil
Instructions
- Place fine grain salt and kosher salt in a bowl. Pour coconut oil on top and add citrus zest, grapefruit oil, and tangerine oil. Stir well to fully incorporate.
- Store at room temperature in a sealed glass or plastic container.
Notes
- If your coconut oil is solid, melt it in the microwave first and let cool for a few minutes before mixing.
- To use as a hand scrub, wet hands. Stir the salt scrub mixture to incorporate the oil and add a spoonful to the palm of your hands. Massage and rub for at least 30 seconds and up to 2 minutes, then rinse off.
- Can also be used as a body scrub in the shower, or as a foot scrub if you soak your feet for a few minutes first.
