This creamy, multi colored salt scrub is scented with our yummy Watermelon Candy Fragrance Oil. Made with creamy Shealoe Butter, and ultra fine Dendritic Salt, this unique scrub will have you buffed, polished, and smelling as sweet as can be.
Makes about 16 ounces
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Shealoe Butter
- 2 cups Dendritic Salt
- 1/4 ounce Watermelon Candy Fragrance Oil
- 2 .15 cc scoops of FDA Red Mica*
- 2 .15 cc scoops of FDA Green Mica*
*Please note: These colorants may bleed or fade over time. For a more reliable color, try using Chromium Oxide Green or Avocado Mica for the green section and Rouge Flambe Mica or Pink Glimmer Mica for the red section.
Directions
Start by mixing the Dendritic Salt, Fragrance Oil, and Shealoe Butter together in a large mixing bowl. The Shealoe Butter should be soft enough to mix at room temperature, but if it is too firm, try warming it gently by submerging the sealed container in a hot water bath for several minutes. When the first three ingredients are mixed thoroughly, separate the mixture into four equal portions. Place two portions into a separate mixing bowl and add the FDA Red Mica, mixing well to fully disperse the colorant. Next, put one portion in another bowl and add the FDA Green Mica. Leave the last portion of scrub white. (Tip: If you like, you can add a little extra Mica for a bolder color. Just don't add too much, or the color could end up dyeing your skin while using the scrub.) Now that your scrub is colored, you can scoop it into your containers. Start by adding the green scrub, then the white, then the pink. You'll want to fill 1/4 of the jar with green scrub, 1/4 with white scrub, and 1/2 with pink. It helps to tap the mixture down in between each layer.
Packaging
For this recipe, we used four 4 ounce PET Jars with White Lids. You can split the scrub into smaller or larger portions by using another sized jar. Your scrubs will look extra cute if you use our free printable labels.

Very Very CUTE! I’m all for bright colors and summer fun. Thank you for always sharing such cute label creations as well.
Im glad you liked the article and the labels. I love bright colors and summer fun too! But hey, who doesnt, right?
How cute is this!!
I already want to make some!
Great gift idea!
Party favors!
AHH sooo CUH-YOOT!
Thank you for sharing!!
Great idea! These scrubs would make great party favors! Try packing them into even smaller jars to make them just the right size for party gifts.
This is so cute! I would love to try to make this using natural colors rather than artificial ones since our son has such sensitive skin and is prone to eczema flares. He is so much better now though since taking his Belly Boost probiotics but we have learned a lot from his condition and avoid anything that is not natural. Do you know of any natural colors that could be substituted? This just looks so fun!!
Im glad that you like this recipe. It could certainly be colored using natural tinting herbs. Try Parsley Powder for the green section and Beet Root powder for the pink section. Unfortunately, Shealoe Butter also contains a synthetic preservative. Make sure you check out Shealoes product page to learn more about it if you son is sensitive to certain ingredients. If this recipe wont work, try making a simpler scrub from Fine Sea Salt or Sugar and your favorite natural Carrier Oil. It can be colored with Tinting Herbs or left plain.
this looks very yummy! is the measurement of the butter by weight or volume?
Thanks, Rose! The Shealoe Butter was measured by weight, but it will come out pretty close by volume as well.
