Mine hardened over night, what did I do wrong 🙁
Oh no! Try adding a bit more coconut oil and mixing it up a bit.
sometimes if you let a tad bit of water come in contact with product that can happen.
How long does the scrub keep in the jars? Thank you … can’t wait to try.
Should keep 6+ months in an airtight jar.
Where can I find the air tight jars?
These jars are great for DIY scrubs
How many 1/2 pint jars will one batch make?
One batch would fill 2 jars.
do I need to melt my coconut oil?
No, just stir to mix very well.
Solid or liquid oil?
We used liquid coconut oil but I have seen other recipes that use the solid kind — so either should work 🙂
