Sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger and castile soap. A holiday body scrub; not for the face.

What You’ll Need

  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar PLUS 2 TBSP organic cane sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 TBSP molasses
  • 1 TBSP castile soap
  • 2 TBSP coconut oil
  • 2 TBSP olive oil (or avocado, sweet almond, or grapeseed)
  • Bowl (stand mixer optional)

Directions

  • Stir all of the ingredients together.
  • Optional whipped version: whip the sugar and coconut oil in a mixer until fluffy, then add the rest (it won't whip up like cream, but it turns somewhat fluffier and creamy).

Notes

Holiday item. Not for the face, since cinnamon and ginger can be too irritating on delicate skin. Safety: patch test; spices can irritate; sweet almond oil option is a nut concern; oil makes the tub slippery.
