Organic Grapefruit Body Scrub

I made homemade citrus body scrubs to give this Christmas.  This was my first attempt at making my own body scrub, and I love how it turned out.

 

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.

Directions:

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.
