Sourcing Scrub Ingredients
Making Peppermint Sugar Scrub at home is super simple! To source all the ingredients, just simply head over to your local grocery store! Better yet, some of these ingredients may already be in your pantry!
Many of us already have white sugar and coconut oil in our pantries. Still looking for peppermint essential oil? No problem! Many supermarkets and home goods stores carry skin-safe essential oils. Of course, you can always easily order it online as well, if you cannot find it in-stores.
Storing Your Homemade Sugar Scrub
Homemade sugar scrubs may last as much as 6 months when stored properly. This means that if you make batches on a consistent basis, you’ll never run out of sugar scrub! Not only that, there are so many ways to make it! Check out our baseline Homemade Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub.
Simply store your scrub in an air-tight, glass container away from sunlight and moisture. Moisture breeds bacteria and sunlight can also spoil the sugars inside. Place your scrub tightly sealed in a cabinet or closet. Use as needed with clean, dry hands.
