Gingerbread Sugar Scrub: Easy DIY Gift Idea

Mmmm… fresh, well moisturized skin, that smells like gingerbread cookies, that could lead to a fun Christmas Eve. The recipe is even more appealing, since it is so easy to make. The gingerbread body scrub is a simple blend of two coconut oils, brown sugar, fragrance and a little cinnamon. Two coconut oils are used, both to ensure a good texture and spreadability to the scrub, but also to get great absorbency and rich moisturizing ability. As brown sugar is naturally higher in moisture than white, you may notice the ratio of oils to sugar is lower in this recipe than in some of my other sugar scrub recipes.

Make it a DIY Holiday Gift Basket

This gingerbread scrub would pair very well with my Gingerbread Bath Bombs Recipe or Peppermint Sugar Scrub. Just toss in a nice bath brush or scrubby to finish out the holiday theme DIY gift basket.

Gingerbread Scrub Labels

I feel a nice label really makes a body scrub more appealing to present as a Christmas gift. Like my other sugar scrubs this label is designed to fit the lid of a standard mason jar. I package my body scrubs in 4 ounce jelly jars that use these lids, and I find them to be a manageable size, yet enough for several uses.
