Additional notes:

Always be aware of any food or skin allergies when gifting this DIY lavender body scrub to others. You can substitute other ingredients as necessary to accommodate dietary/health restrictions. Store the DIY lavender body scrub in a cool, dry place for up to six months.

Coconut Oil Preparation

Since coconut oil typically comes in solid form, you’ll need to pre-heat the oil in a microwave (about 30 seconds, in 10-second intervals) and keep it at room temperature before mixing it with the remaining ingredients.
