Makes 2 jars
- 1 cup frozen cranberries, thawed
- 1/8 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar or raw sugar
- Puree cranberries in a blender or food processor. Add to a bowl.
- Stir in coconut oil and sugar. Spoon into mason jars.
Store in the fridge for up to a month.
Use it on your body to exfoliate dead skin. Cranberries are full of antioxidants which has anti-aging properties. Use it in the shower so any mess is easy to clean up.
I recommend storing it in the fridge since it contains food ingredients. Use within one month for optimal freshness.
Have you tried cranberries in your skin care products?
I have not tried cranberries in my beauty products, but this scrub looks amazing. I want to make it and use during the Holidays. This scrub also makes a nice gift.
I have made a honey sugar scrub before, this one looks amazing though especially since the cranberries have antioxidants.
I may eat it too! Looks delish.
I have not used cranberries on my skin. I may give this a try. Thought: Do the cranberries stain the tub area? Regardless this sounds like a great cracker spread too 🙂
Great stocking stuffer – everyone I know likes scrubs.
These would be great for my friends !
I am sure this smells good. Would be fun to try it out!
I have not tried cranberry scrub but I bet it is delightful! Thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays!
How long does it keep? Does it have to be refrigerated??
It should be stored in the fridge for up to one month.
HI Stacie,
I Love your blog an this sugar scrub looks amazing, what else could I use in place of the coconut oil? I can’t afford the cost of the coconut oil.
Thank you so much.
Merry Christmas!
Hugs, Teresa
I sometimes use olive oil as a carrier oil in scrubs.
This looks awesome! And, fortunately, I have all of the ingredients. 🙂
I bet this is Heavenly! 🙂

Thanks! It didn’t stain when I used it.
This looks so indulgent, and I bet it smells wonderful, too!
Can you use this as a lip scrub, and it’s edible, right?
Yes, you could use it as a lip scrub and all the ingredients are edible.

Hi Stacie, great recipe thanks. Cranberries dont seem to be as common in Australia, do you think this would work with blueberries or perhaps the texture is quite different? J
I’ve made scrubs with blueberries too so feel free to substitute!
Thanks so much Stacie, it worked a treat!
How often to do you recommend I use this? 2x a week?
Once or twice a week is good!
Can I use the bag cranberries that you get at the grocery store?
Yes, that should be fine!

I love the smell of cranberry and orange together, I might try adding some orange essential oil to this.
Does it matter if I used a can of cranberry sauce?
I’ve never tried it that way so I’m not 100% sure!
Hi there! If you did not refrigerate how long would it be good for?
I have family who may have to trace back with it. Thank you!
Maybe a couple days? I would definitely refrigerate it though.
