Simple Sweet Life Tips:
- Add a tablespoon with a nice ribbon attached for a scoop.
- Mix it up and add lemon or lavender pure essential oils rather than peppermint for a different scent.
- Add more olive oil if your mixture seems a bit dry.post & photo by April A. founder & editor-in-chief- April spends her time looking for ways to make Sweet as editor-in-chief of Simply the Sweet Life.
How long does the sugar scrub generally keep?? Does it need to be refrigerated?
ReplyDeleteHow many jars does one batch make? I know it depends on the size of the jar, but how many of the size jars in the picture did this produce?
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I read 2 months b/c you are introducing bacteria with your fingers.
ReplyDeleteIt does not need to be refrigerated. Pure peppermint oil has been found to have antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties. Olive Oil also contains polyphenols which prevent bacteria growth.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I just made 2 batches to give as gifts, and I think I may keep some for myself. It's awesome stuff!
