Another small MOO project that replaces an expensive store-bought product with something easy, natural and budget friendly.

Ingredients
½ cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
⅛ cup melted cocoa butter*
¼ cup sweet almond oil
Sweet orange essential oil, raspberry extract or cinnamon (optional)

Method
Melt the cocoa butter gently over low heat.
In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
Spoon the scrub into a half-pint mason jar or similar container.

Notes
Cocoa butter can be expensive. If needed, Copha can be substituted at a 1:1 ratio. It may create a slightly softer scrub, so you can adjust the sugar if needed.

A little homemade pampering, the Cheapskates way.
Small homemade swaps.
