Orange Sugar Scrub Recipe:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup carrier oil
- 10 drops orange essential oil
- A pinch of orange mica powder (optional, for color)
You can use any carrier oil you like. I used almond oil.
Instructions:
1. Add your sugar and mix in the oil
Pour your sugar into a small mixing bowl.
Add the carrier oil and stir until everything is well combined. It should look glossy and slightly wet, but not soupy.

2. Add come color
Sprinkle in just a pinch of orange mica powder and mix again until the color is perfectly bright and citrusy.
4. Add essential oil
Finish by adding your orange essential oil and give it one last stir.
5. Store your scrub
Transfer your scrub into a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Notes
- Keep water out of the container so your scrub stays fresh longer.
- Any carrier oil works almond, grapeseed, jojoba, even olive oil in a pinch.
