Natural Body Care: Sugar Scrub Recipe

Product spotlight: Calendula Sugar Scrub

Our two kids have extra dry skin like me and said this latest batch of sugar scrub is the best ever. What makes this one so different from our previous recipe? Our whipped body butter is the base, creating a smoother application and more nourishing scrub. This is the forever recipe for our home which will impact the farm products we offer. We hope you love the new scrub as much as we do!

Calendula Sugar Scrub Ingredients: whipped coconut oil & shea butter, granulated sugar, finely blended calendula flowers, tea tree & orange essential oil blend.

Make your own natural scrub—here’s the base recipe we used for years:

2 T carrier oil and 1/2 cup sugar; a few drops of essential oils for added scent/healing benefits are optional

Melt the carrier oil if using coconut oil or another hard oil; experimenting with different oils is important to find out which works best with your skin type. Use a fork to mix together all of the ingredients. As with any oil based sugar scrub, this is best enjoyed and applied under very warm-hot water.

This base recipe is a great starting point for finding a scrub that works best for your skin; from here you can add more or less oil, different oil, additional exfoliants and/or essential oils.
