The Recipe:
Organic Grapefruit Body Scrub
Ingredients:
3 cups Organic Turbinado Raw Cane Sugar
3/4 cup Organic Sunflower Oil
2 tbsp Organic Coconut Oil
2 tbsp Organic Aloe Vera Gel
40 drops Organic Grapefruit Essential Oil*
10 drops Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil*
*It took more essential oil than I expected to get the desired scent. Next time, I may try a tablespoon or two of grapefruit in lieu of about half of the drops of essential oils

Mountain Rose Herbs is my go to source for organic essential oils. |
Blend all ingredients thoroughly. I used a food processor to blend mine.
The Packaging:
5 4-Oz Jars -- The recipe above makes enough to fill all five jars plus little bit left over for you to sample.
5 Avery Print -To-The-Edge Round Labels, Glossy White (22830)
- These labels are the perfect fit for the jars above.
- I used the Avery Design & Print Online Program to create my labels and absolutely loved how easy it was to get beautiful, professional-looking results!
The End Result:
I couldn't be more pleased with these homemade gifts. In fact, I wish I had ordered more of the 4 Ounce Eco Jars. I think these not only make great Christmas presents, but would be great to keep on hand year-round for whenever you need a little thank you gift, hostess gift, etc.
