Peppermint Body Scrub

Melt 6 oz of unrefined coconut oil, over water, on the stove top.
(I use a glass measuring cup)

Put the melted coconut oil on the counter to cool.

When cool to the touch gently stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar, as you wish, to reach 7 oz.

As mix begins to harden and cool further, add 20 drops of peppermint essential oil.

Close lid to capture the essence.

Enjoy:  using either a wash cloth or sonic cleansing system.  A little goes a long way and this is AMAZING!  When I finished making it, I was told, "That smells like you could eat it!  SO good!".   The answer...you can...and it IS!

Notes:  Be sure to use UNREFINED coconut oil.  The nutrients will feed your skin and the fresh, natural scent cannot be duplicated and adds to the aromatherapy benefits.

I use a recycled 7 oz plastic container.
