Nestled at the base of the Unitas in Park City, Utah lives a shop that manufactures and sells the most beautiful, all natural skin products! My daughters and I have been fans for more than 10 years.

I don't buy it often because it's a bit pricey but when I do, I savor it. Not only does it exfoliate brilliantly but the softness of my skin after a treatment is unparalleled. The fragrance?
Absolutely joyful!
It dawned on me yesterday that I had everything I needed to make my own version of my favorite body scrub. I even had Tangerine EO!!
Remember the Summer Sensation promotion in 2012?
Yes? ...if your 5ml bottle of Tangerine is still sitting on the shelf like mine has, I'm going to show you a delicious way to use it :)
I've made scrubs before, they were either salt scrubs or sugar scrubs. After reading the ingredients on my store bought jar of scrub I noticed that both sugar AND salt were used, interesting!
Notice, the ingredients: ...blend of spices and sugar. Well, after using this scrub all these years I'm quite certain that "spice" is Kosher Salt. I was intrigued that sugar is added too. Sugar is supposedly less drying than salt but after time, sugar dissolves and the scrub loses it's exfoliating ability, I haven't been a fan of sugar scrubs for this reason.
But a combination of the two? I can get behind that!
Alright, here's my version of...
CW Mountain Body Tangerine & Lavender Sugar & Salt Scrub
1/2 cup organic sugar ~ not necessary but it's what I had on hand
1/2 cup kosher salt
5 ml (85 drops) of Tangerine essential oil (Wild Orange can be used too!)
35 drops of Lavender essential oil
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/2 cup almond oil
Note: Feel free to change up the other oils. I had avocado and almond oil on hand, they worked beautifully to my happy surprise. However, I wouldn't recommend olive oil because it would alter the fragrance.
One recipe will make just over 8oz of scrub. I filled an 8oz mason jar with one batch.
I realize glass isn't the best choice of container for the shower or bath but, with over 5 ml of PURE essential oil I won't consider storing it in plastic.
Just be very careful if you're using glass in the bathroom!
That's all there is to it! Try the salt and sugar combination, it's wonderful!!

Dear Camo Wander,
I was hoping you could help. My cousin is 5 yrs old and suffers from eczema. She is having a terrible attack this weekend. Is there an EO recipe I can try for her? I'd like to try something natural.
Thank you for your time.

Sounds yummy--but would be expensive if it used the entire bottle of Tangerine...Orange wouldn't be bad, tho! ;-)
Thanks!
A combination of Lavender and Melaleuca with a carrier oil would be a good blend. If you ever get a chance to make it, Camp Wander All Purpose Healing Salve works wonderfully for eczema!

Just wondering where do you get your dropper caps for your EO bottles. I spill so much when I try to make blends or add to capsules. Thanks for all of your advice and help.
I also love the Mountain Body Lavender & Tangerine Scrub! I went there several years ago when we were at the Sundance Film Festival. They did a three step hand renewal process and I was sold! Love the fresh citrus and lavender scent! I recently made a sea salt and cane sugar hand scrub with great results. Can't wait to try this one! Thanks!
You're welcome :))
You can buy droppers separately from www.aromatools.com or, you can buy a handy EO Starter Tool Kit with droppers, roller bottles, gel caps, spray bottles etc from...

This is a great idea for new EO users, everything in one place :))
Does is matter what kind of avocado and almond oil you use? Can I use oil that is used for cooking? Or does it have to be stuff for skin, like Hobe Natural Oil brands, ect? Do you have a particular brand you like? THANKS! Hoping you reply today, as I'm wanting to make this soon! :)
Just use a quality organic (if possible) oil...I've used the NOW brand avocado and almond oils...they're nice!
Finally figured out what APIYOL means. LOL!!! All I can blame it on is all of the hours I worked last month...way too many!
Can you omit the salt & sugar for a body oil?
