Yield 1 jar of salt scrub

Equipment

  • Measuring cup.
  • Measuring spoon.
  • Spoon.
  • Airtight container
  • Label (product name, ingredients, and date)
  • Optional: canning funnel

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup fine grain salt
  • 2 tablespoons oil jojoba oil, olive oil, or sweet almond oil
  • Optional: 5-10 drops essential oil of choice lemon and/or lavender

Instructions
 

  • Combine your salt and oil. (Optional: add essential oils)
  • Stir together ensuring all of the salt is covered in the oil.
  • Transfer to an airtight container with a lid. Use a spoon to do so (optional: use a canning funnel to avoid some of the mess!)
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to 6 months. Add a label with the product name, ingredients, and date.

Notes

  • If you use an oil that has a yellow tint to it (ex: jojoba oil or olive oil) your salt scrub will naturally have a yellow coloring to it! This is lovely as is or can add to the appeal of a lemon scented salt scrub!
  • Use a small spoon to scoop your salt scrub out to ensure no water gets into it.
  • Before use, shower or bathe with warm water and soap.
  • Salt scrub is to be used on damp skin! Never exfoliate dry skin as it can cause microtears.
  • If using essential oils: use essential oils that are safe for topical use. Use responsibly around children and pets.
  • Label the jar with the product name, ingredients, and date. Store for up to 6 months in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
