Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub
This Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub is perfect for exfoliating dry skin during the fall and winter month!
Fall is approaching, which means bright foliage, apple picking, and the re-emergence of all things pumpkin spice! It seems to be one of those love-or-hate things, but those who are fanatic about this flavor are usually obsessed with it.
If you’re one of those people who can’t get enough sweet, cinnamony goodness, you’re going to be totally enamored with this simple, scrumptious Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub.
This luxurious homemade scrub is a festive way to pamper yourself this fall. The warm scent is nostalgic and reminds me of the fresh baked aromas that fill my kitchen this time of year.
Apple picking, leaf peeping, and cider making are all on my agenda for the upcoming weeks, and before we know it, Thanksgiving will have arrived!
Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub is like fall in a jar, and it smells so delicious, you’ll want to eat it. (As a matter of fact, you can… if you don’t mind snacking in the shower.)
Best of all, it’s so easy to make – with ingredients that are probably already in your pantry – you can always keep a fresh supply on hand.
A blend of coconut oil, white and brown sugar, pumpkin extract, and pumpkin spice give this scrub its exfoliating properties and irresistible fragrance while leaving your skin feeling soft and moisturized.
Use it on your hands, feet, elbows, and anywhere else, and you’ll be smooth and lightly scented all over!
This yummy scrub makes a great gift for fall birthdays, holidays, and parties.
Package it in a Mason jar and tie it with a ribbon or twine – you can even slip in a small wooden spoon for scooping!
These are perfect for hostess gifts, and mini jars, complete with a recipe card, make adorable party favors.
Whether you sip pumpkin spice lattes throughout the autumn months or you just love savoring the nostalgic scent, Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub is a fun way to get into the seasonal spirit while giving yourself some much-deserved TLC.
Tips for making this Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub:
- Cute Jar – If you’re planning on packaging this recipe up and giving it as gifts, cute jars are an absolute must! These cute little Weck jars are my favorite but these Kate Aspen Jars are great too!
- Spoon – Tie a wooden spoon to the jar so it’s easier to get the sugar scrub out.
- Ribbon – I love using baker’s twine on mine, but any thin ribbon will work!
- Coconut Oil – There are a lot of different coconut oils out there, you’ll want to use a refined coconut oil, this means it doesn’t have a coconut scent or flavor to it.
- Pumpkin Fragrance Oil – For a really strong and amazing scent, you’ll want to use a few drops of fragrance oil, I love this fragrance oil set, so many amazing scents and you can use them to make my Gingerbread Sugar Scrub and Peppermint Scrub too!

Hi Jenne, I’m not familiar with Marula oil so I’m not sure how it would impact the recipe but I think you would lose all of the scent.
Jenne Martinez Linares says
Hello,
I’m new to DIY. I would like to make a body scrub with Marula Oil. Any chance I can omit the spice, extract and fragrance oil in the recipe and replace it with Marula Oil? If so, what amount should I add?
Thank you for your time,
Jenne
