Combine Sugar and Coconut Oil: Begin by adding the sugar into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Pour in the coconut oil and use a spoon or spatula to start combining these two ingredients. Mix until the sugar and oil are well incorporated, forming a smooth mixture.
Add Peppermint Essential Oil: Next, carefully add drops of peppermint essential oil to the sugar and coconut oil mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the oil is evenly distributed throughout, infusing the mixture with a refreshing scent.
Optional Color Addition: If desired, add a very small amount of red food coloring to the mixture. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the color is evenly distributed. Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your desired shade of pink or red.
Transfer to Jars: Spoon the prepared mixture into Ball® 4oz Quilted Crystal Jelly Jars, filling each jar almost to the top. Use a spoon to pack the mixture down gently, ensuring it’s nicely compacted within the jar.
Seal and Decorate: Once the jars are filled, screw on the lids securely. To add a finishing touch, tie a ribbon around each jar for a decorative element, perfect for gifting or storage. Your peppermint sugar scrubs are ready to be shared or enjoyed!
