Orange is one of my go-to fragrances. It’s so bright, fresh and universally loved. For this simple salt scrub, I drew inspiration from my favorite citrus. The base is fine grained Dead Sea salt with poppy seeds for extra scrub, and orange peel powder for color. The orange peel powder does add a bit of scent, but this scrub really gets a strong citrus smell from 10X Orange Essential Oil. The term “10X” means it has been folded (or concentrated) ten times to create an intense, pure essential oil. It also adds a bit of natural color to the scrub as well.
Learn how to create this easy scrub in the video tutorial below! My friend Courtney joined me for this project, because crafts are just better with friends. =)
