    I just made this and mine is very liquidy. I used the liquid coco oil that you have linked, but I used granulated sugar rather than the cane sugar your linked. Could that be the difference?

      The granulated sugar shouldn’t be an issue. I would mix a bit more sugar into the scrub until the oil to sugar ratio is as desired.

    Would a drop or two of red food coloring give that nice light pink/reddish color to the scrub?
    Thanks!

      I love that idea! Just be sure not to use more than a couple of drops. You don’t want it to end up dying your skin. 1 or 2 drops would be fine though!
