Thursday, August 11, 2016 by Jody 24 Comments

I LOVE lime and coconut – both the flavors to eat and the scents to enjoy. I know you’ll love these lime and coconut sugar scrub bars! Note that the links to point you to the ingredients needed to make this DIY bath & beauty product are affiliate links, which means I can make a few a little bit of change when you purchase them. You never have to pay more (and often I have insider info on deals and sales!). Have fun making these sugar scrub bars!

How to Make “Lime in Da Coconut” Sugar Scrub Bars

I had to do it. I mean..who doesn’t have the lime in the coconut song stuck in their heads already?

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup coconut oil (Where to buy)
  • ½ cup glycerin soap base (Where to buy)
  • 1 tsp. Coconut extract
  • 10 drops lime essential oil (Where to buy)
  • Zest of 1 lime, large

You will also need:

  • silicone mold (Where to buy – note: I used a silicone muffin tin)
  • small pot
  • wooden spoon

Directions:

1. Chop soap base into small 1” pieces to measure them out; this recipe does not require that you be precise…a general measurement is sufficient.
2. Place soap base in a small pot over medium heat, stirring frequently until completely melted.
3. Remove from heat and stir in coconut oil, sugar, coconut extract, lime essential oil, and lime zest; stir to combine well.

4. Quickly pour into mold; stir gently with a toothpick to remove air bubbles.
5. Allow mold to sit until completely cool and set for 4 to 5 hours.
6. Remove sugar scrub bars from mold and store in a cool dry place.

    Thanks so much for the inspiring recipe! I just made it, instead of the glycerin base I used my own olive oil soap made by cold process. To the essential oil of lime, I added lemon verbena and tangerine! Seems very good!

    This particular scrub is a light exfoliator, but you can adjust the coarseness with the ingredients you use (ie, use a coarse sugar or even salt in place of a fine grain sugar or salt).

    What type of exfoliation do they provide? I’m looking for a course one

    This sounds amazingly refreshing! Thanks for the idea.

    We tried to double this recipe and the results were not liquid enough to pour into molds. We had to pack them in and then refrigerate to get them to solidify. Do you think we didn’t use enough soap?

    The sugar should act as a sufficient preservative – they definitely won’t rot – but you’ll want to use these within a month or two. It would be different if these were edible. :)

    Do you need any sort of perservative with the lime zest in there??

    How many you make depends on the size of the molds you use. The “unmolded” product is about 2 cups, so you’d just divide that amount by the capacity of your molds. Hope that helps!

    How many does this recipe make?

  10. Lolli says

    I would think it would be fine to just make it in mason jars and then scooping out some to use each time (that’s what I often do for sugar scrubs, instead of making them into bars). You may just want to add more dry ingredients or less wet ingredients to make it the right consistency, if that makes sense.

    I’m planning on making these as Christmas gifts and putting them into the 1/2 cup canning jars. Do you think I could pack the mixture directly in the jar for the recipient to tap out and use later, or do they need to be in silicone molds first so they don’t stick to the glass?
