This step ensures everything is evenly blended.Add the coconut oil: Pour in the melted coconut oil and mix well until it resembles damp sand. Other oils, like olive oil or fractionated coconut oil, can be swapped in here.Drop in the peppermint oil: Add 10–15 drops of peppermint essential oil. Adjust based on how strong you want the scent. Stir until fully incorporated.Optional festive touch: Mix in a few drops of food coloring for a holiday-perfect scrub. If you want two-tone layers (like peppermint candy), divide the scrub into two bowls and dye one red. Layer in your jar for a fun, striped look!Jar it up: Transfer the sugar scrub into small mason jars or other airtight containers. Pro tip: Use jars with a wide mouth for easy scooping. Don’t forget to label them with a festive note!
