Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil

Smaller batch option

Use 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Same ratio, one-quarter of the original batch.

Make

Use a clean bowl and dry utensils. Gently melt the coconut oil until liquid, then let it cool before handling. Stir in the sugar.

Use

With a clean, dry spoon, move one portion into an unbreakable dish before showering. Lightly massage onto damp body skin and rinse. Skip the face and irritated, broken or sunburned skin. Discard the used portion.

Keep it dry

Leave the main jar outside the shower. Keep water and wet fingers out. No tested storage lifetime is supplied for this homemade recipe; make small batches and discard any portion exposed to water.

Container note: the full recipe needs a larger container than a 4 fl oz jar. For either batch, check the usable capacity and leave space under the lid.

Before you begin

For adult external use. Avoid known ingredient allergies and contact with eyes. Test a small area first and stop if irritation occurs. Oils and oats can make tubs slippery.
