If you’re looking for a natural and effective way to pamper your skin, why not make your own DIY rose body scrub? Roses are not only beautiful, but they also have a host of benefits for your skin, including reducing inflammation and hydrating dry skin. Plus, making your own scrub is easy and affordable, and you’ll know exactly what ingredients are going into it.

In this article, we’ll walk you through a simple step-by-step guide for making your own luxurious rose body scrub at home. So, let’s get started!

Ingredients Needed

White sugar
Liquid oil color or mica color powder
Rose essential oil
Shea butter
Coconut oil
Sweet almond oil
Polysorbate 80 (this is to avoid the scrub being too oily and sticky)
phenoxyethanol preservative

The ingredients below are optional.

Dried roses for decoration (optional)
Shredded soap (optional). You can buy it shredded. We are using it to add foaming and cleansing effect to the scrub.

Note: Since we are making a DIY rose body scrub that will be used mostly in the shower, water might get in contact with the scrub in its container. This could spoil the scrub, and that is the reason for adding the phenoxyethanol preservative.

Tools Needed

A bowl and a small cup
Hand mixer
Container

Measurements

1 ½ tablespoon of shea butter
1 ½ tablespoon of coconut oil
1 cup of white sugar
1 tablespoon of shredded soap
½ cup of sweet almond oil
3 drops of red liquid oil color
3 grams of the rose essential oil = 0.10 ounces
3 grams of polysorbate 80 = 0.10 ounces

Steps: DIY Rose Body Scrub

1- First, in the small cup, we will prepare a mix of 1 ½ tablespoon of shea butter and 1 ½ tablespoon of coconut oil. We will use this mix in step 4 below.

2- Now, to the main mix. In the bowl, add 1 cup of white sugar.

3- Add to the sugar 1 tablespoon of shredded soap.

Add shredded soap - optional — Add shredded soap – optional

4- Add 2 tablespoons of the mix of step 1 above: shea butter and coconut oil mix.

5- Add half a cup of sweet almond oil into the bowl. I prefer to use only that much of the almond oil, however you may increase or decrease its quantity to your liking: if you want the scrub to have a more oily feel, then add more of the almond oil, but add it in small steps.

6- Mix the ingredients thoroughly.

After adding the almond oil, mix thoroughly

7- Now, it is time to add the coloring. Since this is a DIY rose body scrub, I will add red liquid oil color powder. Add three drops and mix. Don’t put too much coloring, otherwise it might stain the skin.

8- Add 3 grams of the rose essential oil and 3 grams of the polysorbate 80. Mix well.

9- Now, we can use an electric mixer to further blend the ingredients together. This will refine the sugar in the scrub as well, making it less harsh on the skin. The scrub will also look different from other scrubs, making it unique!
