This invigorating latte body scrub is made from items you can find in your own kitchen: coconut oil, coconut sugar, and coffee. The trouble with many store bought beauty products is that they contain toxic ingredients. By making this scrub at home, from food grade products, you can trust that the ingredients are pure. DIY Vanilla Cinnamon Latte Body Scrub is also a thoughtful, handmade holiday gift.

A sublime body scrub to increase circulation and bring new life to dehydrated skin
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup Nutiva Organic Coconut Sugar
- 1/2 cup coffee, ground
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or 20 drops vanilla essential oil
- 4 drops cinnamon essential oil
Directions
1. In a double boiler over low heat, gently warm the coconut oil. Be careful not to melt the oil – heat just enough to blend easily with the sugar and coffee grounds. Once warm, remove from heat and transfer the oil to a bowl.
2. Add the coconut sugar, coffee grounds, vanilla, and cinnamon essential oil. Stir by hand until all of the ingredients are well blended.
To Use: Activate the scrub by scooping a small amount into the palm of your hand, add a bit of water and then gently exfoliate your skin. Use with caution as the coconut oil might make the tub slippery.
