Usage & Packaging
Show off the lovely green color of the Dill Pickle Scrub by packaging it in PET Plastic Jars.  To use, simply massage the Pickly scented scrub all over your body in a gentle, circular motion.  Be careful if you are in the shower or tub, as the oils in the recipe can create a slippery situation.  Rinse the scrub, and follow with your regular shower or bath routine.

Thanks! When I first smelled Cucumber Seed Oil I was surprised at how green, and fresh the aroma was. I couldn't resist mixing it with Dill, thus the Pickle theme was born! These recipes really do smell like homemade pickles.

I can't tell if this is serious or not, but I'm all over it. I adore the smell of dill pickles.

Needs more garlic, though ;)

I see I have found another pickle fiend! You have great taste. I did consider adding some garlic powder to the scrub, but wondered if I was going too far. Hehe.

My 4 year old would flip over the gloss.... can't pass up Pringles chips to save my life...

When I was a kid I was crazy about pickles too. I think this recipe may have been invented by my inner child!
