Ingredients:
- 1 c. brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1/4 c. coconut oil, solid

- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
Instructions:
- Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a large bowl.
- Top with coconut oil and molasses
- Using the back of a fork mash the wet ingredients into the dry ones to make a crumbly mixture. Depending on how solid the coconut oil is, you may need to use your hands.
- Place the scrub into a mason jar with a secure lid. Will last for several months in a cool location.
To use:
- On wet or dry skin, apply scrub liberally all over the body.
- Scrub into the skin to remove dead skin cells.
