It's cheaper, it's customizable, and it's sustainable.
The benefits of using a coconut oil sugar scrub are obvious: it exfoliates, it washes, it removes makeup, and it’s all in one. But why homemade? In three points, this article covers why a homemade coconut oil sugar scrub is superior to a store-bought sugar scrub.
When making a homemade scrub, you have the power to manipulate which ingredients go in your product. While a normal recipe calls for granulated sugar, coconut oil, citrus fruit zest, and citrus essential oil, you can also have an effective scrub without the fruit zest and citrus essential oil. By cutting these two ingredients, you can cut the cost of your product in half while maintaining the scrub’s effectiveness.
If you don’t want to cut these two ingredients, you can shop around for the most cost-friendly products.
Maybe you know that lemon makes your skin sensitive to the sun, or maybe you don’t want harmful ingredients you can’t pronounce. For example, methylisothiazolinone is a common ingredient found in personal care products like sugar scrubs.
When you can manipulate the ingredients that are in your product, you can ensure that your product is animal cruelty free, vegan, and safe for your face.
You try store bought coconut oil sugar scrub once and you like it, so you buy it again. And again. And again. That’s one, two, and three tubs of plastic in the garbage. By making your own scrub, you can buy your ingredients in large quantities so you don’t have to buy them more than once. Then, you can store your scrub in a re-usable container.
Homemade sugar scrub is better than store bought coconut oil sugar scrub for many reasons. It’s cheaper, healthier, and more sustainable compared to store bought scrubs. Store your homemade product in a reusable container, take it everywhere, and apply it to your hands, body, and feet for a boost of energy and a feeling of revitalization– customized and cost effective!
