5 drops peppermint essential oil

Hi, how do you suggest printing the labels? I feel like regular computer paper would be too thin.
Thank you!
Erin says
Good question, Kelsey. I use card stock like this: https://amzn.to/2UMTx0s.
BK says
Hi! The texture in the jars a day later is quite solid and firm. It’s not the consistency I was expecting. Is that the texture you expect?
Erin says
Hi! So I use the solid coconut oil, so it does solidify a little when it cools. A couple things you can do.
I don't know what your climate is like in winter, but the scrub will solidify in colder climates. It should soften a bit when you take it out and let it sit in your hands for a moment. Your body heat will soften the oil.
The other thing you can do is use a little more oil so the consistency is a bit more soft.
I hope these tips help!
Trista Bennett says
Sounds lovely!! Do you use the carrier oil kind or the other oil the solid?
Erin says
I like to use (non-fractionated) coconut oil and heat it slightly to get it soft enough to mix into the sugar.
Brandi Moreton says
What was the size of the container you used so that I can do the math for several containers for party favors?
Erin says
What lucky party goers, Brandi! My recipe makes just about a cup and a half, so plan accordingly. You could probably fill about two of these containers https://amzn.to/2DWZbFx with the recipe. Enjoy! Erin
Jacilyn says
Do you use a specific type of sugar?
Erin says

Simply click the link above that says "printable labels". It will take you to a PDF you can print.
Arlene says
I would like to know how much Lavender Oil is used in the Lavender Mint Sugar scrub. It says how much of the Mint, but does not say on the Lavender.
Erin says
Hi Arlene, good question! When I updated the recipe card for this DIY, it didn't capture all the info! It does say it above, but I've updated the recipe to say it as well. 5 drops peppermint and 15 drops lavender. If you prefer one scent over another, you can adjust them accordingly.
