Coconut Lime Sugar Scrubbies
Let's Get Started!
If you’re looking for a “how to make” scrubbies or exfoliating soap, then you’ve come to the right place. Who doesn’t love the fresh smell of coconut and lime? It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, these scrubbies are always a winner! While the sugar exfoliates your skin, the coconut oil moisturizes, and the lime essential oil will give you an energy boost! Let’s get started making these Coconut Lime Sugar Scrubbies.
Coconut Lime Sugar Scrubbies
A few Notes
This is a soap, so we are using a clear glycerin soap base.
The best coconut oil for your skin is organic, unrefined coconut oil. Unrefined coconut oil isn’t processed as much as refined coconut oil, so it keeps more of its natural properties that are good for your skin. It also has a stronger scent and flavor. I ran out of my good stuff before making this, so I grabbed whatever was in the kitchen pantry.
I use silicon molds for easy demolding. An old baking sheet underneath makes it easy to transfer molds to a better setting location once they’re filled with liquid. Follow the video and instructions. You will love the feel and smell of the coconut lime sugar scrubbies. Let us know how yours turn out!
