I am obsessed with sugar scrub recipes and have been making my mojito sugar scrub recipe for a while now. I loved this pumpkin one for the fall, but it is time to move on and I’ve got a great new one for you to try.
Say hello to this orange mint sugar scrub recipe. It is the perfect mix of citrus with a hint of peppermint. I use my scrubs primarily to exfoliate my face at night but it is great on your body too. It leaves your skin feeling so clean and soft. So you ready to make my favorite citrus scrub??

i used olive oil and regular sugar but it came out very thin compared to what is pictured here and i can’t smell the essential oils
It is the olive oil that is the issue. You need to use fractionated coconut oil and it has a solidifying agent in it that will not make it all feel so running. Also, you may need a few more drops of the EO depending on how big your batch is.
Hi, I have one question…which sugar you used in scrub….bcoz I used normal regular kitchen sugar but it pieces are big which is not good…can u help me…
Hi, I used regular sugar but you can use turbinado sugar which is a little bigger.
How much does this recipe make that you have here?
Hi. I am new to making these awesome scrubs. Just have one question. Since all recipes include coconut oil, will it melt if we put it in room temp? I always have that problem with my oil in my kitchen. Not sure why.
You will need fractionated coconut oil!
Hi so how can i store this scrub for longer period for eg 3-4 months? Do i add any kind of preservative?
Thank you .
Hi, that is a really good question and I never make it in that large of a batch. I personally do not think the oils would be as potent at that point so I probably wouldn’t make batches so large.
