Let's make sugar scrub for feet!
I’m using Tea Tree essential oil, avocado oil, and coconut sugar to make this sugar scrub. This recipe is good for dry, chapped skin, so it offers a lot of love to feet.
To make the sugar scrub, combine these ingredients in a 2 oz (60 ml) wide-mouth jar:
1 oz (28 gm) Coconut sugar (0:50)
1 oz (30 ml) Avocado oil (Persea gratissima) (2:12)
10 drops Tea Tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) (4:13)
Tea Tree oil is the perfect ingredient in sugar scrub for feet! It’s antimicrobial and antifungal, and has a bright refreshing scent. I talk more about Tea Tree in the video at 3:50.
Once this recipe is blended together, the avocado oil may float to the top of the sugar. Just shake it up before you use it in the bathtub or shower. (Be sure to wipe off your shower floor with a towel after using this recipe. It’s slippery!)
Lovely! Thank you Andrea. I can't wait to make it.
Thank you Andrea - I love your videos - you have a very calming voice 😄

Peggy, we’re so delighted that you've found us and hope you have a lot of fun learning about the oils!
I have never heard of coconut sugar. I will have to look for that. And I love tea tree. Thanks so much for the videos!
what an awesome foot scrub . this would make a great stocking stuffer { thinking ahead } !!! ty n have a great rest of the week .
Great Idea, Kathy jo Tourtois!
I have not seen a video yet, that I have not enjoyed and learned from. I really have gained a lot from these, and you have such a soothing voice, and friendly online presence. These videos are my favorite tutorials by far. Thank you! :)
Aww that is really sweet of you to say, DiamondGirlNC. I'm so happy that you're enjoying my channel and the videos.
Thank you Andrea!
You're most welcome, Leticia!
Visual ,friendly and educational . Thank You.
Thank you for you sweet comment Charlene!
Thank you for sharing this. Loved it.
thank you very much.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this video, Mari!
Thank you
You're most welcome! 💜
Thank you Andrea mam, very nice video
You are welcome 😊
I had no idea how easy it is to make your own scrub. Just to make it easier, I would add the eo to the avocado oil, then poor over the sugar for a more even distribution. Will try this in the next week!
Great suggestion, Mizzle Diz!
I was thinking the same thing. Your voice is very calming and therapeutic. Looking forward to taking your classes to become a certified aromatherapist!
That's so sweet of you to say Carrie. I just recently announced my free webinar beginning next week called "How to Become an Aromatherapist". During the webinar I will be explaining everything that is involved in becoming certified. I would love to have you join me. There are several dates and times to select from.

Awesome! I will definitely join you!
Awesome tutorial! I am going to lavender!
Sue Medeiros fantastic! Enjoy!
Andrea, Thank you for your fun videos! I am looking forward to seeing and learning as much as I can. Please tell me where I can get a blank inhaler. And would fractionated coconut oil be a good carrier for this recipe, or what might you use it for? Thank you!
Karen Cronin, you could use fractionated coconut oil in place of the avocado oil. The blank inhalers come from Aromatics.com www.aromatics.com/products/blank-inhalers
Andrea, is there anyway to keep the sugar from melting?
Thank you for sharing. What's the self life for this scrub? By the way I love your videos...
The shelf life of the scrub would be the shelf life of the avocado oil which is generally 3 years. This is a carrier that is easy to see when it is approaching the end of its shelf life because it will start to turn brown from its green color.
I’m allergic to avocado, can another oil be substituted?
Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them 😊
Hi Sarah! Yes! You could use any other carrier oil you enjoy such as Jojoba, Coconut oil, or Olive oil. Let us know which you use and how it goes!
Hi Andrea. Thank You so much! How long could you keep this for?
Hi Karina! The Aromahead Approach is to make products without preservatives and simply make them fresh as needed (with water-based products, that would be every 2-3 weeks). Of course if you are selling water-based products you would need to use a preservative.
Thank you so much!
Heya, is there a reason for using avocado oil instead of coconut oil? Also how long does this scrub last outside of fridge? Loving the recipe.
palamena96, you could totally use coconut oil in place of the avocado. I like them both equally and either one would compliment this recipe.
I absolutely LOVE all your recipes, but I have one concern that I don't remember seeing you address before! Do you think there's any danger of 'stoppinig up the drain' by using any of these scrubs etc (that have oil in them) in the bath tub or shower? Thanks so much for all you do!!!!
I've not had any problems over the years, Frances Clewein, but that could be a legitimate concern.
Hello. I'd like to know your thoughts on using this on a diabetic person?
My mom is, and she struggles with diabetic issues on her feet from time to time, and i thought make this recipe for her because of the antimicrobial property of tea tree. I want the best for her, and i would appreciate your opinion on this. Thank you so much!
Amazinggg. I just made a scrub .. but it was with brown sugar and coconut oil. Its fine that way?
Sure, those ingredients make a lovely sugar scrub, Jadlaf Maria Espinal Thevenin.
Do you need to add a preservative since it is a scrub and water may be introduced when it is being used? What preservative would you use?
The Aromahead Approach is to make products without preservatives and simply make them fresh as needed. If you are concerned you could add a preservative. Since I don’t use preservatives, I wouldn't be able to advise from experience about that.
Question about the coconut sugar where do you get it ? The baking department at stores? Like that kind of sugar?
Hi Stacey! Yes, you can usually find Coconut Sugar in the baking section of your local grocery store or market. 💜
Where do you get those clear labels to put over your labeling? I have been using packaging tape.
Mary Ann Combs, I like to use blank labels, and I often get them from Richmark Labels. You can ask for any color and print your website, email, phone number, or business name on them. You can ask for any size, or even multiple sizes. I use a black Sharpie extra fine point marker to write on them. Works great!
After I write on my label, I cover it with a clear laminate label of the same size and shape. That way my ink doesn’t smear.

Hi Andrea - could you also use this Coconut Sugar Scrub on your face or hands as well?
You could. I would reduce the amount of essential oils to 5-6 drops per ounce of carrier if you're planning on using this on your face, Cyd Deane.
Andrea, where can I order the labels used in this video? Thank you

Do you have to use glass containers for this and homemade lotions with essential oils in them?
Ann E.We are frequently asked whether or not it is safe to use plastic bottles and containers to hold essential oils. Undiluted essential oils should not be stored in plastic containers, as some properties in many essential oils will break down the plastic, which can destroy the oil and often cause leakage. However, since our plastic bottles and containers are made of the highest grade of plastic, essential oils can be stored in our plastic bottles and containers for several months if the oils are diluted with a carrier oil.
if someone is allergic to lavender what would be best replacement.
You might try one of these in place of the lavender: Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) or
Neroli/Petitgrain Co-Distill (Citrus aurantium var amara (Flowers and Leaves))
Will this help with athletes foot? Or is there another blend or addition essential oils for that?
This would be very supportive for athletes foot. Tea tree is often used in blend to help support foot health, Xena Allen.

Hi Andrea, I am having a really hard time finding real avocado oil. I know that most avocado oils that you see in health food stores are very light green, which means that it has been highly processed. Where did you get that beautiful avocado oil that you used in this video? Thanks, Q :)
Thank you so much! :)
This avocado oil comes from Aromatics.com . I love them for high quality unrefined carriers and essential oils. Here's the link for their avocado oil:www.aromatics.com/products/avocado-oil
Question do you know how to make natural stuff with essential oils and bees wax to get rid of fleas on cats and dogs? I use coconut oil but was wondering if u knew of another way.
Kayla Sargent at Aromahead, we don't teach the use of essential oils on animals. Our recommendation is not to use essential oils directly on the fur or skin of small animals.
Animals are sensitive and it is good to be aware of that. We do recommend reaching out Kelly Holland Azzaroat Ashi Therapy to learn more where animals are concerned. www.ashitherapy.com/animalaromatherapy.htm
@@aromatherapyoils thank u I was just wondering. Never have just want to ask
I want to make this as a gift, but need a pregnancy safe Essential Oil, what would you suggest ?
Kathryn Phayre aww that's so sweet to make this scrub as a gift. It’s best to use oils only as needed when pregnant and some women choose to wait until after their first trimester to use them. It’s a great foot scrub on its own and I like the idea of using Coconut oil in place of Avocado oil to add a light tropical aroma without essential oils.
What Kind Of Avocado oil Can I Use.
Debbie Morales here's one I like to use: www.aromatics.com/products/avocado-oil
Aromatics International is one of the many wonderful companies we recommend. They carry essential oils, hydrosols, carriers, bottles & jars - everything for your blending needs!
where do you get coconut sugar and avocado oil?
Most health food stores carry coconut sugar these days. I like to use Aromatics.com for my avocado oil. This is the direct link to that page, Leslie Ruth Stewart www.aromatics.com/products/avocado-oil
Could I use olive oil?
Yes, you could use any of your favorite carrier oils in this recipe. Olive oil would be a great choice!
🍹🌞
please who can i get EO ??? i need lavender , tea tree and frankinsin.... im from iraq
Bulk apothecary
Aromatics.com is a great supplier that ships worldwide.
I don't see the purpose for mixing in the jar rather than in a bowl? I make scrubs all the time and I see no reason to do it this way?
I recommend you don't use your hands maybe a small scoop cause u might want it to be sanatary
That is a good suggestion if you're sharing it/the shower with other folks.
