    Geranium Pink Sea Salt Body Scrub

    I make homemade body scrubs for myself all the time, but receiving one as a gift is a treat! Recently, I was given a jar of Geranium body scrub made with pink Himalayan sea salt and coconut oil from my friend Holly.

    Geranium Body Scrub

    That same night I jumped in the shower and uncapped my pretty pink gift. The smell of sweet, floral geranium filled my steamy bathroom. The scent was faintly reminiscent of rose with a bit of lychee and something entirely more earthy. I couldn't get enough of the soft pink, super moisturizing, scrub. The day I scraped the last bits of scrub from the bottom of the jar, I called Holly for the recipe.

    After doing some research, I found it interesting that my nightly geranium scrub was beneficial in promoting emotional stability, alleviating pain, enhancing mood, and reducing inflammation. As Holly says, it's a very grounding scent. Geranium essential oil is also said to help with depression, anxiety and insomnia. No wonder this scrub quickly became my favorite night time ritual! Going to bed with the faint scent of geranium still lingering on my skin and the soft moisture of organic coconut oil is just about as relaxing as it gets. I hope you will give it a try!

        It is very calming but also so fragrant. And yes, it is Blenko Glass!

      This looks great! I will definitely have to try it out. And I love how you don't need to add any colouring because the salt is already pink!

        Isn't that great? The pink sea salt is such a pretty color. Enjoy making it!

      Made 2 jars of this loveliness this morning. Perfect for the after workout shower in the evening...

      IF we were to add food coloring, would it effect the product? and what would be the shelf life for the scrub?

      What brand of coconut oil did you use? I did exactly what you have posted and after it sits in the jar for about 10 minutes when the coconut oil hardens the whole thing is as hard as a rock.
