The amount of oil to sugar depends on the consistence you want. For sensitive skin I recommend 1/2 oil to 1/2 sugar. Vegetable Glycerin is a nice addition. Just include that in your oil phase. Little fragrance goes a long way. I would start with 2-3 drops of essential oil. Citrus scents may cause skin sensitivity when exposed to the sun. Always test for allergies.

Plastic packaging is best for shower use. Last thing we want is broken glass in the shower. The oil can be slippery on your fingers. Use glass with precaution. Always use new containers to eliminate cross contamination. I strongly suggest a preservative since water can easily be introduce to the container during application.
