Chocolate Sugar Scrub

This Chocolate Sugar Scrub smells amazing and leaves your skin super soft! Made with sugar, cocoa, and coconut oil, it’s the perfect DIY treat for a little self-care.

Materials

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder
  • 1/8 cup coconut oil

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the sugar and cocoa/cacao powder.
  • Melt the coconut oil using a double boiler, or use it as-is if you prefer.
  • Add the melted (or un-melted) coconut oil to the sugar and cocoa mixture and stir until smooth.
  • Transfer the scrub to a lidded glass jar for storage. Keep it sealed tightly to prevent the coconut oil from hardening. If left open, it may solidify.
  • Store at room temperature and enjoy the smooth, chocolaty treat for your skin!

Notes

  • If you want the healthiest option with the most antioxidants, go for cacao powder (this is what I used). However, cocoa powder works too.
  • Store your scrub at room temperature, and if your coconut oil solidifies, just scoop it out and warm it in your hands before using.
  • You can also substitute coconut oil with other carrier oils like almond or sunflower oil for a different texture and added skin benefits.
