I’m sorry but this scrub will last approximately 1 week if kept in the fridge. You have put fruit in this and that’s a recipe that without a preservative will grow all sorts of nasty bacteria. Do yourselves a favor and avoid making this.

I love cranberry so this scrub is a must. Always looking for DIY beauty products.
Leigh says
Do you think that the cranberries are essential? Or just for color? Can’t find any cranberries in the off season.
Brett says
Even over by raisins and stuff? I think you could do without or with something else

This is perfect to make for Valentine’s Day, would be nice to relax in the tub and try this out. Love that it is homemade and the cranberry sounds so great.

My apt. is very hot and dry and it leaves my skin dry and cracking. This recipe is perfect! I cant wait to use it and get some relief from this dead, dry skin. I especially love the color of the scrub! Thank you for sharing!

That would make such a neat gift. I wish I had seen it before school ended as I could have given it to my son’s teacher.
Chrystal @ YUM eating says
I’ve mixed a lot of things with coconut oil, but not cranberry. I sure am missing out. Must make this soon!
