Easy Homemade Coconut Sugar Scrub Bars
You have got to check out these Easy Homemade Coconut Sugar Scrub Bars we made! Not only do they smell amazing but they make your skin feel so soft.
With just a few ingredients you can make this fun and simple diy project of your own. We used a Star Silicone Mold
but you can use any silicone shape mold you want. These would make super cute gift ideas too. Just imagine them in a mason jar with a label and ribbon or maybe stacked in a row in a neat burlap baggie with a cute ribbon too. The possibilities are endless when it comes to gift giving ideas!
Here’s how to make our Easy Homemade Coconut Sugar Scrub Bars:
Ingredients Needed:
- 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup Melt and Pour Soap Base, shredded or cubed
- 3-4 drops Essential Oil (your favorite – Lavender is amazing)
- 1 cup Sugar
- Silicone Mold of your choice (we used this star one here)
- Mica Colorant (Optional)
Directions:
- In a double boiler, melt your shredded soap. If you do not have a double boiler, microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between until melted.
- Mix in your coconut oil until combined and add your essential oil.
- Add in your color mica and mix until you get a uniform color.
- Mix in your sugar and stir until well combined. You are looking for a slushy like consistency.
- Pour into your molds and allow to dry for 1-2 hours before unmolding.
TIP: If your sugar and soap mixture gets to thick, microwave on 10 second bursts until you are able to pour.
Viola! You’re done! Easy DIY!
Our readers have shown us a great deal of love for our Homemade Sugar Scrub recipe that’s just like Mary Kay Satin Hands so we thought you make like a few more recipes along those same lines. We love our sugar scrubs!
Pro TIP: If you have extra dry hands or just like super soft hands then you have got to add 1 tablespoon of Vegetable Glycerin to this recipe! Glycerin is known to keep moisture in your hands! I now add this to all my sugar scrub recipes because I love how soft my hands feel! (I’ve had a hard time finding it in the stores, so you may do yourself a favor and grab some on Amazon here)

I’ve made it with grated up soap and it doesn’t work that well. It doesn’t melt so your left with grated bits in your scrub bar and it causes it to crumble very very easily. Just finished making a batch with melt and pour soap and it worked much better.
I was wondering the same thing as Melinda….please reply if it would work….cause I have a girls night in planned and would love to give these to my girls….
Wondering if grating up some soap I already have would work, as I dont have any melt and pour soap base. These would be great for my hubby who works on his jeep allll the time and gets his hands pretty grubby!
