I was wondering if you could tell me where you got the container you used in the photos. I am making these for Christmas and yours looks so pretty.
Thanks, Abby! You can use something like this: https://amzn.to/36j1gFV. Or sometimes I find them at Michaels.
Hey, looking at trying this recipe. Do I need to use the Vitamin E oil? Would there be any cons to not using it? Or any pros to using it?
Thank you!
HI Zoe, you don’t have to use the vitamin E. It just acts as a natural preservative so your scrub doesn’t go bad as fast.
Can I put real honey to prevent bacteria for growing?
Hi Lydia, while we haven’t tried using Honey as an antibacterial, it will likely work! Let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the awesome post! Random question but can you please tell me what the font “Pink Lemonade” is? Thank you!
Thanks for stopping by, Alex. The font is “Sugar Plum”.
Hi, just wanted to let you know I saw someone on etsy selling this using your exact photo. https://www.etsy.com/listing/708494545/pink-lemonade-sugar-scrub?ref=shop_home_active_2&frs=1
On a happier note, my friend and I made a few batches yesterday for ourselves and loved it!!!
Thanks for the heads up, Lisa! Etsy removed the listing. I’m so glad you love the recipe tho!
I’m having trouble seeing the recipe for the pink lemonade scrub. Any other way I can see it? Thanks
Thanks for letting me know, Michele. It’s back! You can print it out if you need to.

In this recipe, organic white sugar was used. Thanks for stopping by, Monica.
How much does this recipe make?
I’m making sugar scrubs for a bridal shower favor and I need to do 20 4oz jars so trying to figure out how many batches I need. Thanks!
Oh, how fun, Elizabeth! Each recipe makes just about a cup, so each recipe would produce 2 4oz jars.
How much sugar scrub does this recipe make?
About 1 cup, Cherise.
How long do s it last?
Because it has no preservatives, This homemade scrub lasts about a month or two as long as you use clean hands or a spoon to get it out of the container.
Should I refrigerate after each use?
Hi Alma, you don’t need to refrigerate this recipe. However, because it doesn’t have any preservatives, use within a month or two and use with clean hands or spoon so not to contaminate.
Could you use avocado oil and lemon extract?
Hi Leisla, although I’ve never tried using Avocado oil, I think it would work fine. Lemon extract is food safe, so would be okay, it just doesn’t have the therapeutic benefits as essential oils.
Where did you buy your lemon essential oil?
I usually use Young Living Oils, but I have also purchased this 100% pure version https://amzn.to/2VJ3t7k.
This looks so fresh! What a great Valentine’s Day gift idea!
