Peppermint sugar scrub is so easy to make! Here’s how you can make your own DIY peppermint sugar scrub. It’s a great handmade Christmas gift idea!

This is a super easy recipe for peppermint sugar scrub and it makes great gifts!

After making my own sugar scrub several years ago, I realized how incredibly simple sugar scrub is to make! With just 3 simple ingredients (that you probably already have in your pantry), you can have a homemade gift ready in just a few minutes!

This is seriously one of my favorite handmade gift ideas ever. Here are some of the merits of peppermint sugar scrub:

  • It’s simple!
  • It’s inexpensive!
  • It’s quick to make!
  • And, it’s a clutter-free gift!

If you have a friend who likes natural skincare products, this handmade sugar scrub might be the perfect gift idea!

What you need to make your sugar scrub:

This couldn’t be simpler to make! If your coconut oil is solid, melt it in the microwave or on the stove top. Don’t let it boil or get too hot, you just want it melted.

Add the cup of sugar to the bowl of melted coconut oil, and stir to mix it all together.

Add 10-15 drops of peppermint essential oil (I use 15 drops) and mix well.

Place the completed sugar scrub into a jar, and you’re done! I found this cute glass jar at a local store, but these jars are similar.

I used some red and white baker’s twine to tie my gift tags onto the jar. I love how festive the baker’s twine makes it look!
