I love making natural products. Especially products that I can give away for gifts to my family and friends. I was in Walmart last night buying some stuff for the house and I decided to check out some of the sugar scrubs that were available for sale. There was some really neat stuff on the shelf but then I looked at the label and just put the jar down. There were so many ingredients listed that I could not pronounce. As someone who makes all natural products as a living, I knew some of the ingredients were not natural and so deemed not so good-by my standards. I have decided that the only body, bath and home products I use or give away have to be all natural and free from harsh chemicals.
So since I make my own salt scrubs, I decided to make a sugar scrub that was simple in its ingredients to give away as a gift. This recipe is simple and does not use preservative or any other chemicals. Plus, this sugar scrub is very moisturizer to the skin without being oily.
