Especially if it’s as great as this scrub! We must warn you though, once you make this candy cane concoction, you may not want to gift it to anyone but yourself!

What you’ll need:
- ½ cup Shealoe Butter
- 10 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- ½ teaspoon Red Jojoba Wax Beads
- 2 teaspoons white or pale Yellow Beeswax
- ½ teaspoon of Peppermint Essential Oil
- 2 small mixing bowls
- A double boiler
- Zip-lock baggies
- 4 oz. clear PET jar

How to:
- Set out two small mixing bowls.
- Add five Tablespoons of sugar to each bowl.
- In a double boiler, melt one teaspoon of white beeswax completely.
- Next, add ¼ cup of Shealoe Butter to the double boiler and then turn the burner off. *Tip: Be sure to warm the Shealoe Butter very gently. Heating too fast will cause it to separate.
- When the Shealoe Butter has completely melted, stir the butter/wax mixture into one of the bowls with the five teaspoons of sugar already in it.
- Add ¼ teaspoon of Peppermint Essential Oil to the very same bowl and stir.
- Next, add ½ teaspoon of Red Jojoba Wax beads. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a zip-lock bag.
- Repeat this whole process again, but this time, leave out the Red Jojoba Wax beads. Here, you’re creating the white part of the scrub.
- Mix the second mixture into the other bowl with the five tablespoons of sugar already in it.
- Once both mixtures have been made, refrigerate both bags for 10-15 minutes.
- Now, take each bag and with your fingers, gently squeeze the contents of each bag towards one corner of the zip-lock bag.
- With scissors, cut off one of the corners of each zip-lock baggie.
- Next, you’ll simply begin to pipe in, straight up and down, each of the mixtures into your clear 4 oz. jar, alternating one after the next, creating a candy cane look.
- Do this along the outside of the jar first so that you can create the whole effect. Then, fill in the center of the jar in whatever way you’d like.
