homemade pink himalayan salt body scrub recipe
This homemade pink himalayan salt body scrub is amazing for your skin! The pink himalayan salts do an amazing job at exfoliating your skin, while the coconut oil is good for putting moisture back into your skin. I love that this recipe uses simple, natural ingredients and only takes a few minutes to make. Perfect for using yourself or for a homemade gift with that extra special touch!
Equipment
- glass mason jar 8 oz
- Glass bowls
Ingredients
- 1 cup pink himalayan salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup fractionated coconut oil
- essential oils
Instructions
- First, the coconut oil needs to be soft enough to whisk but not so soft that is starts to melt. To soften your coconut oil, place in a glass bowl and microwave for 5 second increments checking on it every single time.
- Once the coconut oil is soft, you will whisk the 1/4 cup coconut oil for 30 seconds to 1 minute. This adds a lightness the coconut oil and also gets out any lumps. You can whisk for longer if you like, but my arm was done at around one minute.
- Next, add in the 1 cup pink himalayan salt and 1/4 cup fractionated coconut oil to the whipped coconut oil. Fold gently to combine the ingredients.
- Add in 10 drops of essential oils (see above for essential oil blend inspiration) to the pink himalayan salt and coconut oils mixture. Stir to combine.
- Finally, store the homemade pink himalayan salt body scrub in an 8oz glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Add a cute label (or download my free candy cane printable tags), card or decorative ribbon or twine if gifting to someone during the holiday season.
Notes
If you happen to melt your coconut oil, you can put it into the fridge for 5-10 minutes (checking on it again) until it starts to solidify again.
