I totally fell in love with the color of this grapefruit sugar scrub recipe, it looks so soothing, fresh and summerlike.
This Grapefruit Sugar Scrub Recipe calls for fresh grapefruit juice and beet juice because this can spoil the scrub easily, you will need to keep it in the fridge and use it within a few days.
Grapefruit is a great astringent, meaning it will shrink pores. It also has exfoliating properties that are perfect for oily or acne-prone skin.
It is also rich in antioxidants and vitamins! I’ve used 1 whole grapefruit (peeled) and it gives a nice salmon pink color to the scrub.
Also, I changed the proportion of oil vs sugar so it has the right constituency without the use of the juice. I’ve also added some dried orange peel to increase the exfoliation.
Ingredients
- ½ cup of organic coconut oil
- ¼ cup of safflower oil
- 1 cup + ½ cup of organic sugar refined
- 1 whole grapefruit peeled and mixed into a fast blender
- 5 drops of grapefruit essential oil this essential oil is phototoxic so do not apply before going to the sun
- 1 tbs of dried orange peels
Instructions
- Whip the coconut oil for a minute or two until it is creamy. It needs to be solidifies so you can whip it. If it is melted (usually around 25C), put it in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Add the oil and continue whipping.
- Add the sugar, grapefruit and dried orange peels and mix well.
- Finally add the essential oils.
- Pour in pretty jars.
- This sugar scrub recipe will last a few days in the fridge.
- Always take care of using a clean spoon to scoop the scrub so you don’t contaminate it.
- Sit in your bathtub and scrub your body once a week while under the shower.
- Rinse well. Take care of not slipping as the oil can make your tub slippery.
- To wash your tub, use hot water and a natural cleaning agent.

Hi Swathi, you would have to make it as you go so it does not spoil. Otherwise, you would need chemical preservatives like Germaben II. read this https://www.organic-beauty-recipes.com/top-3-natural-preservatives-diy-beauty/
