Why recepie famous for?
There’s a few versions of this scrub floating around the internet; one that uses fresh rose petals, and one that uses dried. I recommend going with the dried rose petal version mainly because they’re a bit more likely to keep their color and they tend to have a stronger scent.
Ingredients
• 1 pint sized mason jar• 2 bowls for mixing – one large and one small
• A food processor for shredding the dried rose petals (you can try using a mortar and pestle too, it’s just a lot more work)
• 1 cup of dried rose petals
• 2 cups of white sugar (I used organic sugar so my scrub has a darker color)
• 2/3 cup of carrier oil (I used fractionated coconut oil but if you don’t want the scrub to have a coconut undertone, use something like sweet almond oil or another favorite carrier oil)
• 5-10 drops rose otto or geranium (or 3-5 drops of rose absolute)
Instructions
1. To begin, add the 1 cup of rose petals to a food processor and pulse until they become small flakes. If you don’t process the rose petals, they will prevent your shower or bath from draining so I don’t recommend using whole petals.2. Next, add the processed petals to a large mixing bowl and add in the 2 cups of sugar and mix.
3. In the smaller mixing bowl, add the carrier oil and essential oils. Mix well. Feel free to add more drops of essential oil to meet the strength you’re looking for.
4. Pour the carrier oil/essential oil mixture over the rose petal/sugar mixture and stir well to combine.
5. Take a small amount and test it on the back of your hand with a small amount of water. If you like the texture and smell strength, the scrub is ready to go!
6. If you would like an oilier mixture, now is the time to add more carrier oil until you find the balance you’re looking for. This goes for wanting a drier mixture, just add more sugar.
7. Fill the mason jar with the scrub and cap closed.
8. Label the jar however you like for the one you love!
