DIY Sugar Scrub Cubes- Key Lime

Yields: 12-15 DIY sugar scrub cubes

Materials

DIY Sugar Scrub Cubes: Key Lime- Grating soap. | sugar scrub bars, homemade body scrub, exfoliate, exfoliating, #bodyScrub #DIY #sugarScrub #beauty #diyGift #homemadeGift

1/2 cup coconut oil (or a different kind of oil, if you prefer)
2 Tablespoons natural soap – shredded (I used Ivory soap)
2 Tablespoons shea butter – chopped
2-3 drops lime green soap colorant (optional)
15-18 drops lime essential oil
1 cup granulated white sugar

12-15 count silicone cube mold or ice tray

Tip: Gather all of your materials before you start making your DIY sugar scrub cubes. Once you get started, you’ll want to keep the process moving so the soap and shea butter don’t firm up again before you’re ready.

Directions

1. Add the coconut oil, natural soap, and shea butter to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir and continue to microwave at 50% power in 10 second increments until completely melted.
2. Remove from microwave and stir the soap mixture a few times. Allow to cool for 1 minute.
3. Add the green soap colorant and stir until your preferred shade of green is achieved.
