Just finished a batch… well, 2! I did a peppermint and a lemon! I used 5 or 6 drops of peppermint but the coconut oil scent still seems to overpower it. Think I will try almond oil next time. I love your recipes!! Thank you!

What size jars are you using for the peppermint sugar scrubs?

I really love this recipe, it’s so simple and sooooo beautiful! I used pink food colouring instead of red so they’re a pretty pink and white :) Also I divided them into two batches first and used the peppermint on the white sugar, and raspberry on the pink sugar. Smells absolutely divine! Thank you so much for this recipe; I just would never have thought about alternating! It’s such a simple thing but has such a beautiful effect! I would suggest patting each layer down to make sure it layers nicely – I had some initial trouble trying to get the sugar to “sit” hahaha. Once again, thank you so much for this idea! I had a lot of fun and can’t wait to try out other combinations! :)

In reply to K-httydHiccup-K. Hi Katie, I'm so happy you like the scrub! You can definitely try new scents with essential oils. They're really easy to make and I think they'd be great for your church's craft fair. Have a Merry Christmas!

I just now finished making some of this for my sister for Christmas… SO easy, SO fun, and so pretty layered like that in the jar!! I’m 17, never done anything like this before, and I have a tendancy to get frustrated if a new project doesn’t turn out the way I want it to the first time… NO frustration with this. It turned out perfect and pretty! And I used some that was left over in the bowl… let’s just say my sis won’t have the whole jar to herself. xD I love the way it makes my hands feel! I’m totally gonna make some for myself, try other recipes, and make some next year for my church’s craft fair. Thanks so much for this recipe, I had so much fun making it, and I just know my sister will love it!!

Btw, I didn’t put the vitimin E in it, only because I couldn’t find any in the store. Mainly because I didn’t know where to look. But it still turned out great! I uh… ate a little, just cause all the ingrediants are edible…it actually tastes pretty good… xD

In reply to Kimberly. Hi Kimberly, I haven't had an issue with it. Try not to add too much color to it, just enough to get a light red color. Hope that helps!

I just have a quick question. Will the food coloring stain your hands when using this scrub?

Thank you.

Thanks for posting! I’m wondering how long this lasts and if you have done anything to extend the shelf life.

In reply to Kendall. Hi Kendall, to be honest I haven't tried it and can't say from experience how it will work. However, I have used vanilla extract in a brown sugar scrub that worked perfectly. I would try the peppermint extract and test a small area of skin first. I hope it works well for you, thanks for stopping by!

Can you substitute peppermint extract for peppermint essential oil?
