One of my new favorite ways to use essential oils is in my own body scrubs, like this Essential Oil Rosemary Lemon Body Scrub recipe! This also makes for an amazing gift, too. I know if someone gave me a personal, homemade gift like this, I’d be delighted!
Essential Oil Rosemary Lemon Body Scrub
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups of Epsom salt
2 Rosemary springs, finely chopped
2-3 drops Lemon Essential Oil (you can browse tons of brands here)
3 Tbsp of Coconut oil, melted
2 Tbsp lemon zest
Instructions
Mix everything in a large bowl. Pour into a single airtight jar or into a couple of smaller jars. My favorite jars for making homemade beauty items are these Ball canning jars. Lasts 1-2 months.

Personal homemade gifts are the best gifts of all. If you put it in a cotton bag with a nice ribbon, lace or label, it will be complete!
Could this be made as a sugar scrub instead of a salt scrub???
Hi Debbie – sure, that sounds like a great idea! Although I wouldn’t know the ratios. Love it though!!
Hi, I was looking so forward to making my first salt scrubb and tried your today. Your pictures are beautiful and i love the smell of lemon & fresh rosemary. Your recipe was easy to follow, unfortunately, when i used the coconut oil I lost the smell of the lemon and rosemary. Maybe i was suppose to use fractunated coconut oil. Anyway i thought you might like to know or maybe let me know what i might have done wrong.
Thank you
Chris
This smells great, thank you! Do you know how long it will keep for once in jars?
I’m so glad you like it! It should last for up to 1 year 🙂 Enjoy!!
I have made tons of DIY personal care products over the years….although I have made scrubs in the past…it seems all the recipes now are saying to add some type of oil which I have never done, only essential oils, not coconut, almond, etc….so if one is using these in the shower isn’t the oil getting the floor of the shower slippery?
