Hi There! Today I am sharing my favorite type of project . . . Quick, Simple and Inexpensive. This DIY Coconut Oil Salt Scrub Recipe for Foot and Body is absolutely luxurious and is the perfect homemade gift. Or, feel free to make this for yourself. After all, you deserve to be pampered too!
The great thing about making your own foot and body scrub is that you control the ingredients. You can choose to make a salt or sugar scrub. Use coconut or olive oil and whatever fragrance you like.
Coconut Salt Sugar Scrub Recipe Ingredients:
How to Make Coconut Salt Scrub:
- Just mix course salt (or sugar) with the oil at a 2:1 ratio.
- For example, I mixed 1 cup salt with 1/4 cup coconut oil and 1/4 cup vitamin E oil. If you are only using one type of oil, mix 1/2 cup oil with 1 cup salt.
- Then add 3-4 drops of fragrant essential oil and stir it up.
- *Note: Coconut Oil does become solid when it is cold (the scrub is still effective). Heat the jar in warm water to return the coconut oil to liquid form.
Put the DIY Coconut Salt Foot and Body Scrub into a jar and gussy it up with ribbon and a label. That’s it, you now have a lovely homemade gift for friends and family!
Store bought scrubs can cost ten to twenty dollars or more. Depending on the ingredients you choose, this DIY Coconut Salt Foot and Body Scrub ends up costing approximately two to three bucks! Doesn’t get much more Frugal than that.
Have A Beautiful Day!

Sarah says
I am curious where everyone is getting the essential oils/ I cant find them at Walmart, target anywhere. Please help…
Heidi says
Hi Sarah ~ I have purchased most of my essential oils on Amazon here: http://tinyurl.com/mvwa2qv
Hope that helps! 😉
Doris says
This is a wonderful way to pamper yourself and not break the bank. Love it!
Rosie says
Can I find the essential oil at Walmart? And the vitamin oil? If so what alie would that be in? I looked and look no luck:(
Sarah says
I haven’t been able to find them either.
Heidi says
I buy the majority of my essential oils from Amazon here: http://tinyurl.com/mvwa2qv Hope that helps!!
Chanell says
I use old measuring spoons.
Meaghan says
What kind of salt would you use like Epsom salt sea salt table salt our what?
Alayna Gonzalez says
Does anyone know what the shelflife is of these? How far in advance can I start making for the Christmas season?
Melissa says
Provided after mixing and using this you don’t plan to eat it it should have an exceptionally long shelf life! Salt and coconut oil store well for years without any problems so unless you are making a gallon for yourself you should have no trouble using up a batch of this in time!
I hope that helps you!
Amy says
how do I store them to keep it last ? How long it will last? Thanks
Geke Williams says
Found this on Pinterest and am going to make it as party favors this weekend. #Excited!
Lea says
Love this idea! My cousin has been hinting that she would love something like this and with only a few days until Christmas with even fewer dollars in the bank, I think it’s the perfect gift! Question: Where did you find the little spoons?? They are too cute! Also, how much did the jars cost?
Dianne Buckman says
Salt is a zillion times better for you than sugar…Sea salt is a natural detoxifier, as the salt absorbs the toxins from the skin

Stella Barr says
where do you get your jars?
Nicole says
I bought that jar at Walmart. I also saw them at Target.
Nicole says
For all the questions regarding the salt: I use Coarse Sea Salt that can be found in the salt/spice section of the grocery store. I bought the Morton brand coarse sea salt for under 2 bucks. Hope that helps 🙂
Jeanne says
or is it epsom salts?
Nicole says
Thanks again Heidi for having me over today! Have a lovely day 🙂
Jen @ Four Marrs & One Venus says
