Recipe for Vanilla Brown Sugar Body Scrub
Body Scrub Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar (or 1 full cup of brown sugar)
- 1/2 cup coconut or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
I used both brown sugar and regular table sugar for this recipe because that is what I had at home but I think using all brown sugar would be wonderful.
Add the sugar, the oil and the vanilla to the bowl and mix together with a spoon. Immediately your senses will fill with the scents of brown sugar and vanilla. You’ll have to fight the urge to lick the spoon!
Once the mixture is combined place it in a jar or container for storage.
We store ours in glass jars in the bathroom and even though the kids use the scrub we haven’t had an issue with the jars breaking, but use your judgement. There are many pretty plastic jars out there that will work too.

What would be the recommended shelf life after first use?
What a great idea. Glad it helped your arm!
My wrist was in a cast for 6 weeks and consequently my skin was pealing and very dry. I made this super ease scrub and it did the trick, removed all pealing skin, Thanks
This was super easy to make, especially as I had all the ingredients at home. I did end up adding some sugar while making it and even had to drain some oil before I put it in a jar, but doing that probably is all personal preference. Thanks!
