Turmeric Scrub Ingredients
- Sugar: Sugar is an excellent exfoliate and is safe for most skin types.
- Coconut Oil: Coconut oil penetrates deep into the skin, leaving the skin hydrated and soft. Good quality coconut oil matters; here’s how I found the best coconut oil you can buy. You can also make your own coconut oil at home!
- Turmeric Powder: A powder herb rich in polyphenols and antioxidants.
- Rose Hip Seed Oil: A hydrating body oil that penetrates the skin without leaving an oily residue.
- Essential Oils: High in antioxidants and great for the skin. They also offer a lovely scent that pairs well with turmeric.
Preservative/Antioxidant
This ingredient is completely optional, but I want to share it here anyway for anyone who’d like to add it to this turmeric scrub recipe. Adding a minimal amount of preservatives or antioxidants to homemade body care products helps extend the shelf life and protect the product from going rancid. Vitamin E oil and rosemary antioxidants (not to be confused with rosemary leaf extract) are great natural alternatives that can help preserve your sugar scrubs. I haven’t personally used a preservative in this scrub, but Geogard ECT would be my choice. This preservative should be .6-1% of the formula if you choose to use it.
