Coconut, Rose, & Lavender Sugar Scrub

by Olivia Pennelle, Liv's Recovery Kitchen

Looking to make homemade gifts this year, I adapted one of my favorite recipes from Kale & Caramel’s Rose Sugar Scrub. I especially like the addition of lavender which is known to promote relaxation and soothe the senses.

This is such a simple and natural recipe that you could eat it if you really wanted (but only do so if you can verify the source of the essential oils you use - I use doTERRA, most of which are edible).

Recipe

Makes a small jar which will last for a week.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup shredded coconut

• 1/4 cup organic granulated sugar

• 1 1/2 tablespoons melted organic coconut oil (preferably virgin press)

• 1 1/2 tablespoons dried rose petals

• 6-8 drops of pure organic lavender essential oil

• 8-10 drops of rose water

Instructions

1. Finely grind the shredded coconut in either a coffee grinder or smoothie maker.

2. Place the coconut and all other ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

3. Store in an airtight container.

4. When using, apply liberally to the body (excluding the face).
