How much does the recipe make?
Rebecca Hubbell says
Yes, as indicated in step 1.
Kayla says
Love this idea!! If using coconut oil for the recipe I’m assuming you have to melt it first right?
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Tricia, I’ve never used expeller-pressed oil for this recipe. Is it hard in its original state? If it’s more of a liquid oil this could be your issue. The sugar scrub should be soft but not runny.
Tricia Edwards says
I used the expeller pressed…its runny after I made it! Is it suppose to be like that or did I use the wrong kind ?
Rebecca Hubbell says
Hi Missy, I’ve never tried it, I’m sure it would just yield a very soft scrub which should be perfectly fine.
Missy says
Is it possible to use the already liquefied coconut oil? Or does is have to be the kind you melt??
jasmine says
ive used baby oil in a scrub before it makes it more “liquidy”(sp) but works just as well ?
