Green Tea for the Win
Natural ingredients are perfect for DIY bath and body products. Green tea has so many health benefits that it’s something we’ve just started incorporating into our routine here on Ruffles and Rain Boots.
Recently, we shared these matcha green tea bath bombs. They are easy to make, fun, and are even a great gift idea. Even if that gift is to yourself! :)

Make This Amazing Matcha Green Tea Sugar Scrub
We made this matcha green tea sugar scrub in solid form, allowing you to gift it easily or just make less of a mess when using them yourself!
Materials
- 1 cup clear glycerin soap base
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup shea butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 10-15 drops cedarwood, geranium, and bergamot essential oils (or any oils of your choosing)
- 1-2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder (we love this stuff for smoothies, too)
Tools
- silicon mold (you can use any but we like these molds)
- microwave-safe bowl
- spoon
Instructions
Making solid sugar scrubs is just slightly different from their powdered counterparts.
- Put the soap base, coconut oil, and shea butter in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals.
- Add essential oils and matcha green tea powder. Stir well.
- Add in the sugar and still until a thick paste has formed. Spoon it into the molds - press firmly - and let it sit for a minimum of 2 hours. Tip: we usually leave ours overnight. Store in an airtight container.
How to Use Solid Sugar Scrubs
Remove 1 or 2 from an airtight container. Gently crush them in your hands - you don't need to crush them completely.
Massage the mixture over your skin in a small, circular motion. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer.
Note: if you're gifting these, include a note with the instructions for use above.

Do these need to be stored in the refrigerator?
No, these are not stored in the refrigerator and, in fact, you want to avoid adding moisture to these until ready to use. Store them in an air tight container at room temperature.
