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.
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.
Hi.how do you print the lables
Simply click the link above that says “printable labels”. It will take you to a PDF you can print.
Do you use a specific type of sugar?
I like to use organic granulated sugar for this recipe.
What was the size of the container you used so that I can do the math for several containers for party favors?
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
Sounds lovely!! Do you use the carrier oil kind or the other oil the solid?
I like to use (non-fractionated) coconut oil and heat it slightly to get it soft enough to mix into the sugar.
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?
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!
Hi, how do you suggest printing the labels? I feel like regular computer paper would be too thin.
Thank you!
Good question, Kelsey. I use card stock like this: https://amzn.to/2UMTx0s.
