I received a box from Simply Earth in order to facilitate an honest review; All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.
Hey, guys! I'm here with a sneak peek unboxing of the Simply EarthEssential Oil Recipe Boxfor September and it's full of 6 great essential oil recipes + ingredients, including one of my favorite blends. I also have a code that will get you a Big Bonus Boxanda $40 gift card to Simply Earth, plus a DIY essential oil recipe for a fun, customizable DIY sugar scrub soap!
If you haven't seen one of my Simply Earth unboxings yet, the Essential Oil Recipe Box is a monthly curated box of 4 essential oils with containers and ingredients to make 6 essential oil recipes.
They always have a timely theme and September's box is all about Natural Soaps/Happy Scents, but also has a neat compress recipe, which is timely for me considering my sinuses are going crazy!
They send me these boxes before they're up for sale to give you guys a peek at what will be available in the upcoming month, so if you like the box I'm showing you, it's not too late to get it!
If you'd like to see some of their past boxes, you can find all ofmy Simply Earth unboxings here.
Today, we'll be making a fun sugar scrub soap. It's so easy to make and can be customized endlessly! I made one plain soap and one cinnamon soap (shown here). You can also add herbs or dried flowers. I can even see coffee grounds as a great addition!

Now, let's make something cool!
DIYSugar Scrub Soap
Source:Simply Earth
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp. (.5 oz.) Glycerine Soap Base
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 3 drops Happy Joy Essential Oil Blend
- 1 drop Bay Essential Oil
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
- soap mold
Directions:
1. In a double boiler or in the microwave, heat the soap base until just melted. Do this in no more than 10-second intervals. It melts so fast and could boil over your container if left in too long!
2. Combine all of the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Once the soap is just melted, remove from heat. Stir into the remaining ingredients.
The soap will begin to solidify.
4. Gently reheat mixture until just melted and pour into the mold.
5. Allow to cool and harden. You can place the mold in the fridge or freezer to speed this up.
This is why I love silicone molds so much! It makes it super-easy to unmold your items.
To Use: Scrub and lather with the bar in the bath or shower and rinse!
If you like the upcoming September box and want to grab it for yourself, you can get it for just $39!
