Orange Gingerbread Sugar Scrub Recipe

Christmas· Craft Basics· Party Favors· Winter

Sugar scrub cubes are the perfect, one-time-use scrub that makes exfoliating your hands, feet or even your body a breeze!  These also make the perfect inexpensive, yet impressive gift!  Place a few of these in a cute little jar and you have a wonderful holiday gift to give this year!  Or you can make them and “gift” them to yourself because after you make and try these, you might not want to give them away!  Either way, this orange gingerbread sugar scrub recipe is perfect for this holiday season!

Orange-Gingerbread-Sugar-Scrub-Recipe-Crafts-UnleashedAnd aren’t they ridiculously cute!?!?  Oh my goodness these little gingerbread men just make me smile!

Supplies needed to make this orange gingerbread sugar scrub recipe:supply-list

  • Glycerin Soap Base
  • Gingerbread Orange Fragrance Oil
  • 2/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 cup packed Brown Sugar
  • Silicone Gingerbread Man Mold (optional)

Orange-Gingerbread-Sugar-Scrub-Recipe-Crafts-Unleashed-4You will begin by melting your soap base in a microwave safe dish, 30 seconds at a time until it is fully melted.  I used 10 squares, or 8oz. Then add your olive oil, brown sugar and fragrance.

How much fragrance oil you use will depend on personal preference.  But I used 100 drops in this batch of scrub.

Orange-Gingerbread-Sugar-Scrub-Recipe-Crafts-Unleashed-5Mix this well!  It will be a thick, slightly dry mixture.  Be sure the brown sugar gets completely broken up and becomes wet, but note that this will not be a really wet or thin mixture.

Orange-Gingerbread-Sugar-Scrub-Recipe-Crafts-Unleashed-6Press your sugar scrub recipe mixture into molds. If you do not have a silicone gingerbread man mold, you can spread it out on a cookie sheet and later cut it into cubes once it is set.

Orange-Gingerbread-Sugar-Scrub-Recipe-Crafts-Unleashed-7Allow your sugar cubes to set completely.  I put mine in the freezer for about 30 minutes and they set up nicely.  Then just pop them out of your mold and enjoy!

If you spread yours out on a tray, take a large knife and cut these into cubes instead.

Orange-Gingerbread-Sugar-Scrub-Recipe-Crafts-Unleashed-2I love the shape and color and smell of this sugar scrub recipe!  Plus, they do a great job at exfoliating too!  They would make a perfect, homemade gift this holiday season!

Orange-Gingerbread-Sugar-Scrub-Recipe-Crafts-Unleashed-1Just package the gingerbread sugar scrub recipe cubes in a cute little jar or bag and give to all your girlfriends this season!  They will all thank you for it!  I promise!

    I am wondering how much of the glycerin soap base is needed for each batch and about how many little gingerbread men to expect from a batch. Thanks so much.
