Tamoya says
If we were to use a preservative in place of vitamin E, what amount would work best for this recipe?
Erin Henry says
Hi Tamoya, we try to keep our bath and beauty products all-natural, so don’t add anything but vitamin E oil to preserve them. Therefore, we don’t know what the proportions would be for another preservative.
Melissa says

candy fouts says
how many ounces does each batch make so I know what size container I need?
Erin Henry says
One batch makes roughly eight ounces, Candy.
Marti says
In the scrubs with brown sugar did you measure the sugar packed or loose?
Erin Henry says
Just slightly packed, Marti.
Frances says
what is a natural preservative that I could put in this scrub to make it last longer?
Erin says
Hi Frances, I use vitamin E oil because it acts as a natural preservative and provides a little extra softness. Thanks for stopping by!
Shirley Wood says
My daughter made something similar for me and it was just fabulous. I loved using it, especially on my hands. Pinned. So glad you share with us at Merry Monday. See ya next week!
Julie says
If using coconut oil, won’t it solidify?
Erin says
Hi Julie, good question. Because it’s mixed with the other ingredients, it is a nice consistency for using as a scrub. If you use within a month or two and keep it in an airtight container is should be good!
Julie says
Tried it with coconut oil. It was great for the first use, but the leftovers solidified.
Janni says
What type of coconut oil did you use? Was it fractionated? Thanks
Erin says
Good question. It get the most therapeutic benefit, I would use non-fractionated coconut oil. I just melt it in the microwave to get it soft enough to mix together.
