How to make Christmas cookie sugar scrub

yield: one 8 ounce jar

step 1: add 1/4 cup organic extra virgin coconut oil to a heat-safe bowl or measuring cup

tip: This recipe uses the kind of coconut oil that’s solid at room temperature.

tip: Look for a coconut oil that’s cold-pressed and unrefined so that it will have all its amazing anti-inflammatory, skin-soothing properties.

step 2: melt the coconut oil either in the microwave or using the double boiler method

tip: To melt using the double boiler method, simmer about 2 inches of water in a pot over medium heat on the stovetop. Once the water is simmering, add the heat-safe bowl with the coconut oil to the pot. Stir the coconut oil occasionally. Once it has completely melted, remove from heat.

step 3: Let the coconut oil cool slightly, then add 30 drops vanilla oleoresin and stir to mix.

step 4: To the coconut oil and vanilla oleoresin mixture add 1 cup sugar

step 5: add 1 tablespoon red & green nonpareils

step 6: stir well to mix

step 7: scoop into an 8 ounce jar

step 8: Finish with a free printable label and red & white twine
