Solid Sugar Scrub

In a convienient single use size!  And only three ingredients.

I used the directions I found here, at Homework.  Carolyn used canola oil, I used coconut oil instead, along with sugar and grated soap.

 
 
 I just made a small test batch.  The amounts listed in the instructions made six in my little mold.
 
 
 How cute are these???
 
They hardened up over night and I stored then in an old plastic container.  I don't like glass in the bathroom.  That is a disaster waiting to happen in my hands.
 
The only thing I would change about these is the soap I used.  I found the Pears to smell kind of medicinal and I don't like that.  Other than that I just love these.  I don't even require a moisturizer after my shower because of the coconut oil already in there.  My daughter loves them too, so I need to make a big batch next time! 
 
Thanks for looking!

    1. I am happy that you made and like these! Thank you for letting me know.
      I'm glad that you told me that the company changed the soap. I remember liking it as a teenager and was really surprised at the scent when I made these. I have made a large batch since posting this, using the remainder of that bar of soap and we are down to three scrubs now, I think. Time to make more! My daughter and I still love these.
