Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Spoon

Ingredients

  • 3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • Gel food colors any color of your choice
  • Essential oils optional for scenting

Instructions

  • To make the base of your sugar scrub, evenly combine the sugar, coconut oil and essential oils (optional). If you prefer a creamier texture, just mix in extra coconut oil.
  • To prep for the color mixing, seperate the sugar scrub base into small mixing bowls. (One for each color of your choice.)
  • Spoon in the gel food coloring and mix in the color with your hands. For the light colors, use a very modest amount of a color. For vibrant colors, use a generous amount of food coloring. You can also mix and match colors to get a certain shade you’re looking for.
  • Once you’ve made all the colors, spoon each color into a glass container. Firmly press the sugar for each color into place before moving onto the next one.

Notes

  • The amount of sugar and coconut oil you use depends on how many different colors you want your DIY Sand Art Sugar Scrub to have. If you want to use lots of colors, you may want to increase your measurements. The key is to use 3 parts sugar to 1 part coconut oil.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a month.
