Hello everyone! If you have been visiting Cosette's Beauty Pantry , you might be aware of my fascination with sugar scrubs .  I will link other sugar scrub recipes at the bottom of this post, if you like, you can check them out! Some of my earlier recipes are not vegan and I cannot use them any longer.  So today, I want to share a vegan-friendly coconut and lime body scrub recipe.  The sweet scent of coconut combined with refreshing lime is reminiscent of a tropical island getaway . To make this coconut and lime body scrub, you will need the following items. Ingredients (to make one cup of scrub) : 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted) 1 cup white sugar 1 tbsp shredded coconut 6-8 drops of lime essential oil Method: Melt coconut oil. Mix in with the sugar, until fully incorporated. Add the coconut and the lime essential oil. Mix together. If you could create your favourite sugar scrub scent, what would it be?
