Peppermint Sugar Scrub Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of sugar 
• 1/2 cup of coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon of peppermint oil
• 2 drops of red food coloring
• 1 glass jar (or any sealed container)
• Baker’s Twine or Ribbon
• Scoop

How to Make Peppermint Sugar Scrub

• Microwave coconut oil for 15 seconds until softened.
• Add in sugar and peppermint oil.
• Mix until well blended. 
• Divide the mix in two and place half into another bowl.
• Add your food coloring and mix until blended.

• Add the uncolored sugar scrub to the jar.
• Layer the colored sugar scrub in even amounts.
• Alternate layers until the jar is full creating a candy cane effect.

• Finish it off with a pretty tag.
• Attach a scoop with baker’s twine or ribbon. I found the glass jar and the scoop at Dollar Tree.

This would be great for Valentine’s Day as well. You could add more food coloring to make it an actual red color, rather than pink. The possibilities are endless!
