@yaaas says
if i do not own essential oils, is there anything i can substitute in place of them?
thanks!
Brittany Walker says
Well if you do not own essential oils that’s perfectly ok Ex : sugar coffee scrub obviously it’s going to smell like coffee so any essential oil u put in there will be over powered by caffeine lol but if your looking to make a more delicate scent such as sweet pea or rose ect you will need more then the buds . Oh and check out apricot oil it’s not as heavy as some of the other carriers . absorbs in the skin very nicely . Hope this helped
Angie says
I made this last night and the smell is amazing! When I went to use it this morning it was quite hard in the jar. Is this normal?
Heidi says
Hi Angie ~ yes, that can happen when the coconut oil gets cold. If it was cold overnight, it would harden up in the jar a bit. As soon as you scoop some out and it touches your skin, it will soften and melt… hope that helps!
Kelly says
Hi
Great Products! AWESOME site! Just curious how long of a shelf life do the scrubs have and do they have to be refrigerated?
Thank you
Heidi says
Thanks, Kelly! This scrub doesn’t need to be refrigerated, however I like to store it in a cool dry place. Coconut oil begins to melt around 76 degrees, so that can change the consistency. I also like to use the scrub within 6 months from the time I make it. Hope that helps! 😉
Ashley says
Hi Heidi — Out of curiosity, how many ounces of scrub (approximate is fine) does this actually make?? I want to make a bunch for my friend’s bridal shower favors and trying to adjust the recipe. Thank you!
Heidi says
Hi Ashley ~ I’m not sure on the ounces, but each batch fills up 1 half pint jar. Hope that helps!
