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.

Snow Cone Sugar Scrub

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

Sugar Scrub bowls

Step One:

For each color, mix together 3 tablespoons fractionated coconut oil and 2 teaspoons sweet almond oil.

Step Two:

Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar to each.

Lorann Oils

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.

Rainbow Sugar Scrub in mason jar

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.

This scrub makes your legs and feet feel amazingly smooth! Just be careful though, because products containing oil can make the shower/tub slippery!

    HI THIS IS SO PRETTY THANK YOU FOR SHARING. I WAS WONDERING WHERE TO BUY THE SPOONS. I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD BE AVAILABE AT THE STORES BUT NO LUCK SO FAR. ALSO I HEARD THESE SCRUBS ARE EXPENSIVE IN STORES, WANTED TO MAKE THESE AND SELL THEM FOR CHRISTMAS IN AN 8 oz. AND 16 oz. MASON JAR. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST REGARDING PRICE. THIS WOULD BE WITH RIBBON A LABEL AND WOODEN SPOON ATTACHED. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. IRENE

      Hi Irene,
      The scoop I used came with a jar I purchased from Hobby Lobby. As far as finding them to buy, it would depend on how much you want to spend on each spoon. There are lots of choices on Amazon (here are my affiliate links) like these bamboo spoons http://amzn.to/2dWvrY3 or these wooden spoons http://amzn.to/2d7uOtc
      I’m not sure about the prices. I haven’t tried selling anything like this. First, add up the cost of all the ingredients, jar, spoon, label and ribbon it takes to make one jar of scrub. Then, add to that the amount of money you want to make for each jar. I would suggest looking at Etsy to see what others are selling sugar scrubs for: https://www.etsy.com/search/bath-and-beauty/soaps/bath-salts-and-scrubs?q=sugar+scrub&order=most_relevant&view_type=gallery&ship_to=US&taxo_autoscope=1&ref=taxo_autoscope&original_ref=
      Best of luck!

    Hi there, you can get the jars at Walmart and for those of you that are worried the food coloring will stain your skin. It does not you use so little of it and when it hits the water it doesn’t even show up on your skin. I have been making these for a long time now and never have I had any color on my skin.

    I am thinking the summer temperatures will soften the coconut oil and the colors will run together, leaving a not very pretty color. I am making over 50 of these and can keep them cool but what happens after the girls get them is out of my control. I will be doing one color per container just to be on the safe side.

      Whip the solid coconut instead of melting it before you add the sugar to it. Whipping it makes it nice and fluffy and soft and you don’t need to any other oils.

      The sugar scrub will work great without the oils, but it won’t have a scent. As for a substitute, you could add fragrance oil specifically formulated for bath and body products. Best of luck!

      The little wooden spoons came with some jars that I bought from Hobby Lobby. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/240ml-clear-glass-jar-with-cork-lid-and-wood-spoon-710798/ I thought about using the jars for the scrub, but with the smaller opening, it would be harder to make the “snow cone” look. They would be perfect for a different sugar scrub though. Enjoy!
