Homemade Lemon Sugar Scrub Cubes



This was a tough one, I had to modify the recipes I found online a bit in order to make the consistency work. In the end I am happy with how these turned out!

I made enough to fill around 7 medium sized jars

What you will need:
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Coconut Oil
  • Soap Base (I used shea butter soap)
  • Lemon Essential Oil
  • Yellow Food Coloring 
I used equal parts sugar, coconut oil and soap base to reach the texture I wanted, if you have any issues with the consistency, you can tweak the measure of the ingredients to your liking.


Melt all ingredients together in a double boiler (can used microwave as well), add coloring and essential oils. I poured the whole mix into a deep dish pan and let it harden for a little over an hour. After the mixture hardened, I placed the block onto sugar covered plastic wrap, then cut into strips, then into cubes.


I tossed the cubes in more sugar to coat. 


Then placed in fun medium sized jars! Leave the jars open overnight to allow cubes to harden.
