Notes
Liquid food coloring drops work better than gel food coloring. If all you can find is the gel, that's OK. You may just need to spend more time mixing to make sure the color spreads out.
Note: While made with food-grade ingredients, this scrub is not intended for consumption.
*Add extra oil for a more saturated "wet" scrub vs. a more granular scrub.
