Make a Calendula Sugar Scrub
Make a Calendula Sugar Scrub, the perfect homemade nourishing beauty or body scrub for you or to give as a gift!
Equipment
- I suggest using a glass bowl that is not usually used for food. You can also use a wide mouth jar to make this in. The jar should be wide enough to allow for mixing in.
- For stirring, I prefer to use a popsicle stick or tongue depressor as they are good for scraping the sides for better mixing and they are a good size.
Materials
- Sugar
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Calendula Essential Oil-
- Golden Mica Powder
- Yellow Mica Powder
Instructions
- In your bowl, combine together the sugar, almond oil, and the Calendula Essential Oil until well mixed.
- Carefully sprinkle in the mica powders and stir to blend it in. Wear a mask when you do this to avoid breathing it in.
- You can adjust the sugar or the oil as needed to reach your desired consistency. Then transfer the scrub to a jar with a lid for storage. Tip: using a wide mouthed jar to make this in can eliminate having to transfer it.
- This scrub should keep for up to six months. I suggest stirring it as needed as the oil can separate from the sugar or water can get into the jar when using in the shower.
