DIY Small Batch Natural Sugar Hand Scrub

**This post contains affiliate links.

Making your own hand scrub at home is so easy and you likely already have the ingredients at home to make it. You can easily make a large batch for gifts or you can use our recipe for a small batch just for yourself. You can easily use all organic ingredients if that's something that interests you, but whatever you already have works just fine!

There are so many great tins and jars to store the scrub in and you can even print out your own labels like we did to add a little something special to the end product.

Ingredients & Supplies:

- 1/2 cup Sugar

- 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

- 3 drops of any Essential Oil (optional)

- 1 drop Vitamin E oil (also optional)

- 6 oz. Tins

First pour the sugar into the bowl. If you want to make more than one tin, just multiply the ingredients.

Then pour in the olive oil and whatever essential oil you'd like. We find that 3 drops is enough to provide scent but you could do a couple more if you don't feel like 3 drops is fragrant enough. And again, essential oils are optional and not needed for the scrub to do it's job.

And all you do to combine everything is stir. It may seem like there isn't enough oil at first, but trust me, it will all blend together just fine.

Just keep mixing and then scoop your mixture into your tin.

And add a label if you have one...

And just like that you have yourself a hand scrub that rivals expensive ones that you can buy in the store. This will leave your hands feeling so soft and moisturized, no lotion needed.

We like to keep ours by the sink for anyone to use. This hand scrub should last up to 6 months, and adding a drop of Vitamin oil when mixing can help preserve the scrub for longer.
