These easy DIY Lavender Sugar Scrub Cubes cleanse and exfoliate skin while soothing your mind with a relaxing scent.
Each fall, people flock to my Peppermint Sugar Scrub Bars tutorial for their gift-giving needs. Since that DIY beauty recipe is so popular, I decided to do a lavender version.
I love how relaxing and soothing lavender is in homemade beauty products like these DIY sugar scrub cubes. At the end of a long day, just hop in the shower or bath and pamper your skin while giving yourself a relaxing aromatherapy experience.
I love that sugar scrub cubes both cleanse and exfoliate your skin at the same time. Double duty!

Makes: 3 Sugar Scrub Cubes
Supplies
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup melt and pour soap
- ¼ teaspoon sweet almond oil
- 1-2 drops vitamin e oil
- 3-5 drops lavender essential oil
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender
Tools
- Silicone Molds
Instructions
- Place about 5-6 large ice cube sized pieces of your melt and pour soap into a double boiler and heat over medium until completely melted (should equal 1/3 cup, a little more is fine but no less).
- Remove the pan from the heat, then stir in your sweet almond oil, vitamin e oil, lavender essential oil and a dried lavender.
- Quickly mix in your sugar and pour into your silicone molds (once the sugar is added, the mixture hardens quickly, so be sure to work fast).
- Set the silicone mold in the freezer for 15 minutes to harden the sugar scrub cubes.
- Remove the silicone mold from the freezer and push up on the bottom of your molds to remove each sugar scrub cube.
- Place several homemade sugar scrub bars in a mason jar and top with some fabric and a ribbon for a special handmade gift!
I love your DIY but what do you mean by a 1/3 cup melt and pour soap. What kind of soap do you use?
Hi Carmetta, thank you. Melt and Pour Soap is the type of soap used in this DIY. It can be purchased many places online and at most craft stores like Michaels.
I love all of your DIY Beauty recipes. Thank you!
Thank you Rebecca!
When you say 1/3 of a cup of melt & pour soap—-question is: is that 1/3 measurement after the M&P Soap is melted or is it before melting and if so how do you measure the 1/3 cup? –grating it OR?????
Sorry if I sound dumb but am perplexed –weight of soap would be very helpful.
Thank you as this recipe sounds very nice.

I usually just chop up my melt and pour soap, then measure it.
How long do each square last in the shower? Are they a one time use?
It really depends on the size of mold you choose and on how much of the scrub you tend to use. For some people, they can be single use, and for others, they can last multiple uses.
