In reply to Theraisa K. I get my vanilla pods online from Rodelle. But, you can definitely find them in the gourmet sections of grocery stores or at places like World Market :)

Hi Chris! Due to coconut oil changing from liquid to solid this scrub will change due to hot or cold temps. If you have an area that stays at a mild temperature that would be the place to store this scrub. Or, check out this scrub recipe that uses grape seed oil as well: https://wonkywonderful.com/lavender-sugar-homemade-body-scrub-recipe/

How long does the “fluffiness” last once it is in the jar? Does it return to a more solid form?

In reply to Beverly. Coconut oil will become solid when cold and liquid when warm. If stored in a warm place it should remain more liquidy. Or, you can run the jar under hot water for a minute to loosen it up before use.

I melted some coconut oil and added sugar. I poured the mixture into a container and let sit. I did not cover it. Now it is rock solid. Can you tell me what I did incorrect?

In reply to Shahira. Coconut oil in its liquid form will work too. I have kept my scrub for 6 months and beyond. I think it will last a long time if kept in a clean airtight container.
