What You’ll Need
1cupsugar (white or brown sugar will work)
1tablespoonsea salt
1/2cupcoconut oil
5dropstea tree essential oil (optional)

Melt the coconut oil to a liquid in a small bowl.
Stir in the sugar, salt, and essential oil if you like.

Notes
Scoop a small amount into your hands and scrub over dirty or stained hands; rinse with warm water and pat dry; if hands feel greasy, wash again with regular soap. It keeps at least a year without refrigeration. For coconut allergy, use almond or jojoba oil (use a little less of a liquid oil). Safety: salt stings on cuts or cracked skin; tea tree oil is toxic to pets, so keep the jar away from cats and dogs; oil makes sinks and floors slippery.
