I did a little research on each of the oils traditional and ancient uses and tried to come up with the best use for each. So…I went with a Frankincense Sugar Scrub due to the amazing skin benefits Frankincense provides. It is actually a common ingredient in some skin care products.

Frankincense Sugar Scrub Recipe
This Frankincense Sugar Scrub has a great spicy, warm…Christmas-y scent! I did a little research on each of the oils traditional and ancient uses and tried to come up with the best use for each. So…I went with a this sugar scrub due to the amazing skin benefits Frankincense provides. It is actually a common ingredient in some skin care products.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Raw Sugar
- 1/4 cup Granulated White Sugar
- 1/8 cup Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
- 5 drops Frankincense DoTerra Essential Oil
- 2 drops Wild Orange DoTerra Essential Oil optional
Instructions
-
Mix the sugars together in a bowl and then slowly add Olive Oil while mixing. Add enough oil to get a good consistency…but not too oily.
-
Add your essential oil(s) drops and mix together again.

SUGAR SCRUB LABELS
How do I get the sugar scrub labels and the printable Gifts of Christmas Parchment Scroll?
Print them on white cardstock (on a laser so they don’t run if wet; a copy center works great too) and then cut them out. To attach the labels to the bottle, simply glue them on with a glue stick. It works amazingly well to hold them in place and looks like they are a sticky label!

This is just what I needed to a few special people in my office. Since I like to work with wood, saws, etc. this is right up my alley. Thanks for the inspiration. Merry Christmas!
This is perfect for you then! I hope they love it. Merry Christmas to you too! Thanks for taking the time to share that with me. I always appreciate it!
Hi there. Love your ideas on Pinterest! I made the frankincense & myrrh bath salts/scrub for Christmas last year and am wanting to do the same this year! However I notice you’ve taken down the Printable labels & the Christmas message as well! Please could you put it back up on your page as it is such a cool idea & so original. Love that it blends in with the gifts Jesus received as an infant. True gifts oof Christmas! Please reconsider putting these back on your website! Many many thanks! Trish
This is fantastic Amy! I have several friends who are big into DoTerra who will go nuts over these ideas. xo
Thank you for sharing Mique! xo
Love this, Amy!! A great Christmas gift idea. Pinning!! :D
Thank you Kristyn!
Wow, love this :-) From this post I found your peppermint one and I am making as gifts. I managed to buy some cute retro glass mini milk bottles that are simply perfect. But I’m from the UK, so not so useful for you guys, sorry :-( I have one question though Amy, if I use coconut oil on the peppermint ones, does that make it smell coconutty?? I have essential oils I want to use, but don’t want it to smell like coconut too. But coconut oil is cheaper and easier to get in large quantities here…
Most coconut oils will give it a hint of coconut smell. So the other option would be to go with a lighter olive oil or grape seed or almond oil. All of those will work well. I LOVE mini milk bottles. So glad you were able to find some. I bet they are perfect for this! Thank you May!
Wish I’d seen this in time to do it for our children’s minister! Will save for next year!
Oh shoot! Yes! Next year! Merry Christmas!
How many batches do you think you can get out of a bottle of the oil. I am finding that it’s pretty expensive for 15ml of the oil, and I’m trying to justify it with a cost breakdown for myself. Thanks again for the wonderful ideas and recipes! I really want to try them out, especially the myrrh!
Katie, if you get an annual membership you can buy the oils at wholesale. You will also be able to earn points towards free oils and we always have an oil of the month. The oils that are more expensive is because they are much harder to come by in terms of the crops and such. (E.g. something like Lavendar is much cheaper because Lavendar crops are everywhere!)
Hi
I absolutely love your frankincense sugar scrub and myrrh bath salts idea. I want to make these for Christmas gifts. Where do you get the bottles you use?
Thank you for sharing this idea.
Jody
I got them at Hobby Lobby!
I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE that you use doTERRA Essential Oils for your scrubs! As an RN and lover of all things natural, I became a Wellness Advocate for doTERRA when I saw the processes they take to make sure the oils are 100% pure!!! This is awesome! I will definitely be utilizing some of your recipes! :)
Hi, is it still possible to access the instructions and printables?
Would love to be able to still get the printables!
I saw this last year but not in time to make for Christmas. I was excited to do them this year but am sad that the page with the printables and how to make the box/put the gift together are no longer available. =(
Hmmm…they should be. Let me look into that. I haven’t removed them.
Thanks for looking into it. When I click on it, it says page not found. Error 404.
Found it! :) you may have to “like” their FB page first. Then there is a “get your free gift” link in the Apps section on the left side.
I would love to access the printable labels too!
Any luck yet?
Love this idea … but $93 for a bottle of Frankincense oil is out of budget for most people. Am I looking at the wrong thing by chance? Thanks!!
You can find some cheaper ones online, but I doubt the quality is as good as the DoTerra ones.
Only 5 drops!!! Plus you can get a free 15ml bottle with a 200PV order!!! Whoop whoop! Got mine yesterday… I am so making this! Thanks Amy!

Any update on these printables yet? I’m really looking forward to using these as Christmas gifts. Such a great idea! …pun not intended :)
Help! I can’t access the printables! It gives an error when I click on it. Thank you!
Do you think this could be left uncovered so it also served as a bathroom freshener?
I have made a foot scrub with coconut oil as Christmas gifts and I opened one of the jars and it is extremely hard, I would have to scrape it out of the jars, any ideas of what I could do? Or I this the way it is supposed to be? Thank you
I noticed that for the sugar scrub, the recipe called for white sugar. How did you get it that pretty brown color?
The Raw Sugar has a brownish color to it.
Hi there, I am in love with the gift sets!!!! i cant wait to make them for my gifts… is there a poem that goes with it? (the scroll – gifts of christmas) ?????
Does the scrub just kind of shake out of the bottle or does it tend to get stuck?
Are these printables no longer available?? Love this for my kids teachers!!!
SHan, Just emailed you.
Can you please email me the printables?
Help! Is there any way to get the printableses for this and the Myrrh Bath Salts? For some reason I am unable to get them by clicking on the tab. Are they still available?
I cannot for the life of me find the printables! Help please!!!
emailed you
emailed you.
Hello, can i use jojoba oil to substitute the olive/coconut oil? thanks
JV- I think that would work just fine. Thanks.
Hi! I would love to grab the printables if you still have them available. I’ve already put together the jars of scrubs! They smell amazing! I did the Frankincense with peppermint and lemon, and I did the Myrrh with the lavender as suggested. They are amazing!
Myra- So happy you made this. I just emailed you.
