One of my favorite comfort scents is chamomile. The sunny, apple-like aroma of this flowering herb always seems to cheer my up. In cooking, chamomile loves being paired with honey and lemon. This sugar scrub was inspired by that classic combination. In keeping with the tea theme, I used Camellia Seed Oil as the main ingredient in this scrub. Camellia Seed Oil is made from the same plant from which white, green, and black tea are harvested. The addition of honey granules boosts the cleansing and moisturizing property of this scrub, and adds a hint of its sweet, characteristic scent.

Usage & Packaging
This scrub will look great in our PET Jars. I like the pack my sugar scrubs in single serving, 2 ounce jars. This helps encourage folks to use up the entire scrub at once, avoiding issues with long term storage and contamination.
