- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil softened
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 –2 tsp water if needed
Instructions
Measure Sugar
- Place brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Sugar gently exfoliates your skin and gives a soft texture.

Add Cocoa Powder
- Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir well to blend the chocolatey color and aroma.
Add Vanilla Extract

Adjust Texture
- If the scrub is too thick, add 1–2 teaspoons water slowly. Stir until smooth and soft.
Transfer to Jar
- Spoon the scrub into a clean glass jar. Press lightly to fill the jar completely.
Label the Jar
- Write the name and date on the jar. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
Use the Scrub

Moisturize
- After rinsing, apply lotion or body oil. Your skin will feel soft, smooth, and nourished.
Enjoy the Scent
- Relax and enjoy the chocolatey, warm aroma. Use 2–3 times per week for the best results.
Notes
