Snow Cone Sugar Scrub made with coconut oil and sugar is for perfect for summer! This sugar scrub recipe smells like a snow cone and will help keep your skin soft and smooth.
Raise your hand if you have fond memories of eating snow cones as a kid…or maybe you still love eating them. My husband used to have a guy that would ride a bike with a cart through his neighborhood, selling snow cones.
We didn’t have a “snow cone guy” but we would get snow cones from concession stands and street vendors. I thought it would be fun to make a snow cone sugar scrub for summer. It smells delicious and makes your skin so soft!

How To Make Snow Cone Sugar Scrub
Step One:
For each color, mix together 3 tablespoons coconut oil and 2 teaspoons sweet almond oil.
Step Two:
Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar to each.
Step Three:
Add a couple of drops of flavored oil for scent and a drop or two of food coloring to tint the sugar scrub.
Watermelon oil in the pink sugar scrub, lime oil in the green sugar scrub and raspberry in the blue sugar scrub.
Tilt a small jar (I used Kerr 8 oz jars half pint wide mouth) to the side and spoon in the colored sugar scrub, one layer at a time.
The coconut oil might return to a solid form, but the sugar scrub will soften in your hands or you can add a little warm water to the scrub one it is in your hands.
This snow cone sugar scrub makes your legs and feet feel amazingly smooth! Just be careful though, because products containing oil can make the shower/tub slippery!

Hi Makenzie,
Yes, you can use another oil such as olive oil or just use more coconut oil. Best of luck!

Is there a specific brand of coconut oil that you prefer to use?

Autumn says
I use fractionated coconut oil. It doesn’t get solid.
Sandy Blanchette says
I am a teacher and want my class to make these for Mother’s Day. I will most likely pay for most of the products needed for this, so I was wondering if there are cheaper oils I could use that won’t change the final product that much? The almond oil is the most expensive.
Also, would I be able to use a little less coconut oil as my final product was really very oily, or is it suppose to be that way?
Thanks for any suggestions you can give me.

Tanvee says
You can add less coconut oil. It is personally your choice how oily or dry you want it. For the scents, you could either skip them, or just add vanilla extract or cheap essential oils of you choice, instead of the oils in the recipe. It won’t change the final product, except for scent.

I was wondering where you got your labels made?
Tonia says
Hi Sylvia,
Which labels are you wondering about? You can find many of my free printable labels here: https://www.thegunnysack.com/free-printables/ I used a free, online photo editing site to make them. Best of luck!

Hello! First off, I want to say how awesome this sugar scrub is! Now I have a couple questions… One of them is can you add fresh fruit juice like a clementine or something instead of the food coloring? The other one is would olive oil work, or would it make it smell bad? Thank you so much! I love this website!
Sylvia says
Hi Julia,
I know it’s been a while since you did not get an answer..I would not recommend using any food products such as fruit,since them may spoil or go rancid,just a thought..I use Almond oil as a carrier when I don’t want to use Olive oil,as it tends to be overwhelming. Almond oil is very subtle,or grapeseed oil, is also good.
Elizabeth Hernandez says
Can extracts like almond or vanilla be used in place of the scented oils?
Tonia says
Hi Elizabeth,
Yes! They can be but the oils are more concentrated so you will need to use more of the extract than you would the oils. Best of luck!

I’m sure this will make your shower super slippery. Any suggestions?
Marissa says
Well what you could do if your shower gets a little slippery then you could turn on the shower and it would get a quick rinse and if that does not work then you may have to wash the slippery part
