FAQs About This DIY Whipped Body Scrub Recipe
Q: What is the best way to store this whipped scrub?
A: Store in an airtight jar in a cool place. Because coconut oil melts at warm temperatures, keep it away from direct steam or hot sunlight to maintain the whipped structure.

A: Since this scrub is 100% oil and sugar-based without water, a preservative is not strictly necessary. Just be sure to use dry hands or a spoon to keep water droplets out of the jar.
