These little jars are packed with gentle exfoliation, antioxidant-rich green tea, and the bright scent of fresh lemon zest. They're perfect as party favors, thank-you gifts, or a cute addition to your tea party table. (And yes—they look adorable lined up on a shelf.)

💛 Why We Love Them:

All-natural ingredients
Smell like a dream (hello, lemony freshness!)
Moisturize while exfoliating
Take just 5 minutes to make
Pretty enough to gift, luxe enough to keep

🫖 What You'll Need:

1 cup sugar (white or raw)
¼ cup coconut oil (melted but not hot)
1 green tea bag (or 1 tsp loose leaf)
Zest of 1 lemon
Optional: a few drops of lemon essential oil
4 oz or 8 oz mason jars (depending on your gifting goals)
Cute ribbon, tags, or labels to dress them up

🍋 How to Make Your Scrub:

Step 1: Mix It Up

In a bowl, combine sugar and melted coconut oil. Stir until you get a sandy, slushy texture.

Step 2: Add the Good Stuff

Sprinkle in the green tea leaves and lemon zest. Add essential oil if you’re feeling fancy. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3: Jar It Up

Scoop your scrub into clean, dry jars. Press down lightly and wipe the rims clean.

Step 4: Style & Seal

Seal with a lid and finish with ribbon, twine, a spoon, or a custom tag. Bonus points if you add a “How to Use” label!

✨ How to Use:

Scoop a small amount onto damp skin and gently rub in circles. Rinse off and pat dry—your skin will feel baby-soft and smell like a citrus grove. Not recommended for the face (too scrubby!), but perfect for hands, feet, and elbows.
