Learn how to make rose sugar scrub. This creamy body scrub recipe smells amazing with rose essential oil and vanilla essential oil, but I also have other options to get the wonderful smell with less expensive oils. This recipe is perfect for Valentine's Day and makes a fun Galentine's Day gift for your friends.

Rose Sugar Scrub Recipe

Rose and vanilla is such a sweet and delightful scent combination. It's one of my favorite scent combinations for Valentine's Day or even just a date night.

This rose body scrub recipe uses rose essential oil, which is one of the most expensive essential oils. However, I have some substitutes that will give you a very similar scent at a fraction of the cost.

You can also use a fragrance oil if you prefer. A fragrance oil won't give you the same skin benefits as the essential oil will, but you'll get the scent.

What is the Difference Between a Sugar Scrub and a Whipped Sugar Scrub?

Both a traditional sugar scrub and a whipped sugar scrub recipe use the same ingredients, sugar and oil. The sugar exfoliates your skin by removing the top layer of dead skin cells while the oil moisturizes your skin.

A basic scrub recipe just combines the sugar and oil. However, this creamy body scrub recipe whips the sugar and oil together to create a light and fluffy body scrub.

They both work the same way, but I like the lighter texture. I think it helps me control how much abrasive sugar I get in a scoop.

It's personal preference though. You can make this rose sugar scrub recipe without whipping it.

Sugar: The Exfoliating Hero

Most body scrubs use either sugar or salt for the exfoliant. Both are easy to find and inexpensive and work well as a natural exfoliant.

Sugar has more round edges than does salt, so it's gentler on your skin. Sugar is also sticky, which helps the oil stick to your skin.

Coconut Oil

I like to use coconut oil to make a creamy body scrub recipe. It's solid at room temperature, so it helps firm the scrub, and it whips wonderfully.

A liquid oil won't whip, so don't substitute the coconut oil if you plan to whip the scrub.

Essential Oils for Rose Body Scrub Recipe

I used rose absolute and vanilla absolute to make this Valentine's Day body scrub recipe. Rose essential oil is one of the most expensive oils, so many people don't have it.

Rose essential oil is wonderful for your skin, especially for mature or dry skin. However, you can also get the benefits of roses by making a rose petal infused oil. You'll need to use the warm infusion method since coconut oil is solid.

You can also use one of the following oils or blends in place of the rose essential oil:

How to Use Your Whipped Sugar Scrub Recipe

Use this whipped rose body scrub recipe just like any other sugar scrub.

Wet your skin before using the scrub.
Scoop out a few tablespoons of the scrub and gently massage it into your skin in a circular motion.
Rinse and pat skin dry.

Since this recipe doesn't have a preservative, I recommend using a wooden spoon to scoop out the scrub so you don't introduce water or germs.

Storing Your Rose Sugar Scrub

Store your rose sugar scrub recipe in an airtight container. It will last about three months on the shelf.

Since this recipe doesn't have a preservative in it, be careful not to introduce water into the scrub. Use clean dry hands or a spoon or scoop to get the scrub from the container when using.

Whipped Rose Body Scrub Ingredients and Supplies

1/4 teaspoon pink mica powder
10 drops vanilla absolute
5 drops rose absolute
Measuring cups and measuring spoons

How to Make Rose Sugar Scrub

Step #1

Combine the sugar, coconut oil, mica powder, and essential oils in a small bowl. If your coconut oil is too hard to whip, you can heat it slightly before adding it. It should hold its shape but be soft enough to whip.

Step #2

Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the scrub for three minutes or until light and fluffy.

Step #3

Spoon the whipped scrub into a jar.

I hope you live this rose sugar scrub recipe!
