Here’s some creative inspiration courtesy of Botanical Interests Seeds for making your own Lavender Rosemary Sugar Scrub. Sugar scrubs can be expensive and filled with unwanted additives. Making your own ensures it is made of natural ingredients, and you’ll get a lot more for your money. Especially if you grow the lavender and rosemary from seed!
Lavender and rosemary have wonderful aromatic and cleansing properties. Dried leaves and flowers can be added to sugar and coconut oil to produce a cost-effective skin exfoliator and cleanser. You can find all of these items either in your garden or at your local grocery store. Here’s what you’ll need:
- ½ Cup coconut oil
- ½ Cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon dried rosemary leaves, finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon dried lavender flowers
- ¼ Teaspoon lavender essential oil (optional)
- Small mason jar or other storage container
Directions: Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Fill mason jar or other storage container.

Use on face, hands, body, and feet. Be careful when applying it in the shower, as the coconut oil can be slippery. You can substitute other flowers and herbs such as calendula, chamomile, sage, or echinacea. Give as a gift for Mother’s Day or keep it for yourself! Hashtag your creations with #botanicalinterests.
