I love Lush’s bubblegum lip scrub, but the price is outrageous and I find the taste…slightly odd. Probably the castor oil. Here’s an alternative that is gift-able, simple to make, much cheaper, and so delicious!
Don’t forgot your lips — Keep them pouting smooth with this Bubble Gum Lip Scrub Recipe. All natural and vegan, and a totally edible finished product. This scrub can be used daily just before you add your lip stick or gloss.
Bubblegum Lip Scrub Recipe
Ingredients:
- Caster Sugar (extra fine sugar)
- Jojoba Oil
- Natural Flavor Oil
- Vitamin E Oil
- Lip Tints (Crimson & Melon) mixed to make pink
- Glass Jar & Label
With a small pipette or dropper, add a drop or two of the flavoring to two tablespoons of sugar. Add gradually and taste as you go! If you over do it, mix in a bit more sugar.
Now, we need this to be a bright pink, so add one drop of red food coloring.
Mix well. To get a silky smooth finish to your scrub, you’ll want to add some oil. You can use castor, or jojoba, or olive oil. But I thought vitamin E oil would work perfectly and not have a weird taste. I used about a teaspoon.
Lick your lips, dip your finger into your scrub to scoop a little out, and rub. When you’re done you can rinse…but why do that when you can lick your lips?!?!

Mix some of the lip balm tints into a little jojoba oil until you obtain the pink color and mix it in a little at a time. Add a few drops of Vitamin E oil. Spoon into jars and label. This is a very easy Bubblegum Lip Scrub recipe and you can add any flavor you like.
