Peppermint Sugar Scrub

Ingredients:

2 cups white or cane sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil (use more or less depending on desired consistency)
Natural Red food coloring (you can also use regular food coloring if you wish)
Peppermint essential oil (use your favorite brand, or ask me about Neal’s Yard Remedies essential oils that are pure, organic essential oils without the markup)
Mar jar(s) with lid (makes multiple 4oz and 1/2 pint jars or 1 full pint jar)

Directions:

Pour sugar into medium sized mixing bowl
Add coconut oil until desired consistency is reached; stir

Place a few drops of peppermint essential oil into the mixture
Divide your sugar scrub mix into two equal portions

Add a drop or two of food coloring into one of the portions until you reach the color of red you would like
In Mason jar, alternate pink and white layers of sugars to create a “candy cane” effect. Press sugar down with a spoon to compact between layers.
