DIY Coffee Scrub without Coconut Oil

© Rebecca D. Dillon
Ingredients:
4.5 oz. coffee beans, fine ground
2.25 oz. pink Himalayan salt, fine ground
2 oz. brown sugar
3 oz. sweet almond oil
.25 oz. blood orange essential oil
2 mL vitamin E oil
2.25 oz. pink Himalayan salt, fine ground
2 oz. brown sugar
3 oz. sweet almond oil
.25 oz. blood orange essential oil
2 mL vitamin E oil
Optional Ingredients:
.3 oz. Coconut Orange Cardamom Fragrance Oil
.5 oz. water-soluble caffeine extract
20 drops steam distilled coffee oil
.5 oz. water-soluble caffeine extract
20 drops steam distilled coffee oil
Instructions:

Using a digital scale, weigh out the ground coffee, pink Himalayan salt and brown sugar. Combine in a glass bowl or large glass Pyrex measuring cup.
Mix the dry ingredients together with a fork to ensure even distribution.
Now weigh out the sweet almond oil, blood orange essential oil, fragrance oil and water soluble caffeine extract into a separate container. Measure out and add the vitamin E oil using a plastic transfer pipette. Finally, add the coffee oil using a dropper or plastic transfer pipette, then mix together all of the wet /liquid ingredients to combine.

Spoon the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well, using a fork to whisk the ingredients until they are combined thoroughly.

Now spoon your orange coconut DIY coffee scrub into two clear plastic 8 oz. low profile jars. (Each jar will hold approximately 6.25 oz. of coffee scrub by weight.) Alternately, you can also use two 8 oz. High Barrier Kraft Paper Stand up Zipper Pouch Bags. (These bags are comparable to the ones used for the Frank Body Original Coffee Scrubs.) You can also use traditional pantry jars, which are classic wide-mouth, clear glass jars with a rubber gasket seal and easy-to-use clamp down lid.
