    9. When making sugar scrub does it matter if I use coconut oil fractionated or not. Just melt it before and combine? What’s the difference in the scrub texture? Thanks.

      • It makes about a cup, so one 8 oz jar packed pretty full. If you don’t pack it down, you could probably fill one and a half jars with one recipe.

      • I used Young Living brand. I’ve also tried Doterra with good results. I would guess that any high quality, pure essential oil would work. 🙂
