This Vanilla Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub smells amazing and leaves your skin silky smooth! Whip up a batch in just five minutes!
It’s time for another edition of Craft Lightning, and I’ve teamed up with a super talented group of ladies to share some awesome creative ideas that can be made in 15 minutes or less! This all-natural DIY vanilla pumpkin spice sugar scrub can actually be made in about FIVE minutes (which means it also makes a fantastic last-minute gift idea!).
I have to admit, I had planned on sharing a totally different 15-minute Halloween craft idea with you today, but it ended as a big fat failure. Not to worry though, I already have plans to salvage and resurrect it, but instead of having a Halloween craft to share with you today, this is really more of an autumn themed idea. Fall, pumpkins, Halloween…it all runs together in our house anyway!
A couple of weeks ago I made a divine 10-minute pumpkin spice shea butter soap, and I can’t get enough of the smell. I find myself walking by the bathroom or kitchen sink to wash my hands an extra time (or ten!) each day just to smell that lovely aroma. I am totally one of those people who love pumpkin spice everything (#pumpkinspiceeverything, yo!). Since our pumpkin spice soap supply is quickly dwindling, I decided to whip up a batch of vanilla pumpkin spice sugar scrub for my shower, and I think the smell might be even better than the soap!
For an 8-oz container of sugar scrub, simply mix together 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of coconut oil, 2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice, and 2 tsp. of vanilla extract. That’s it! Super easy peasy to make, and the smell is out-of-this-world incredible!

Is there any other type of oil you can use for this? (i.e olive oil) or is refined coconut oil ok?
You can use any skin-safe oil that you wish! Fractionated coconut oil works great, and olive oil will work, too! 🙂
Just made this with my granddaughter, smells so good and it was so easy:)
Giving a party just before Thanksgiving. What an excellent idea for party favors for the ladies. Thank you!
How long do the scrubs last before going bad?
All of the ingredients have a long shelf life, so this scrub could last up to a year; however, I would recommend using it within the first 2-3 months for optimal quality. 🙂
Would it be possible to substitute the vanilla extract with pure vanilla without affecting much?
Absolutely, Shawn!
Oh my goodness, I made this a few days ago and have quickly become obsessed. Thanks for the great recipe! I cant wait to look around and find more DIYs to enjoy. Any recommendations?
Thank you so much for this fantastic scrub, I have made some for family and friends, I would love sell them at our craft show, if I give your pintrest site credit would it be ok. Thank you.
Hi there
I am going to make this tomorrow but I was wondering.. Can I use brown sugar? I have an absolute ton of it here and would love to be able to use it up.
Thanks!
Yes, you can! 🙂
