If you’re anything like me, once Fall hits, it’s GAME. ON. Bring on the flannels, fuzzy socks, and anything, and I mean anything, that smells like pumpkin pie. I’m talking cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, a splash of almond... YES, PLEASE!
And that, my friend, is why I’m so obsessed with these Pumpkin Pie Sugar Scrub Cubes. They’re basically little cubes of autumn joy that scrub, moisturize, and leave you smelling like Thanksgiving dessert. ALL. OVER.
Oh... and did I mention they’re crazy easy to make and totally giftable? Let’s get into it!
Why You’ll Fall Hard for Sugar Scrub Cubes
Sugar scrub cubes are the no-mess, grab-and-go version of your typical scrub-in-a-jar situation. No dripping oils, no scooping with your fingers like you're digging for gold, just pop a cube in the shower and go!
Here’s why I LOVE them:
- Pre-portioned goodness – Each cube is like a mini spa treatment.
- Exfoliating + Moisturizing – Sugar buffs, almond oil nourishes, and the soap base gives a creamy cleanse.
- Smells like a cozy fall kitchen – Straight up aromatherapy magic!
- Perfect for gifts – Teachers, neighbors, friends… these babies are crowd-pleasers.
What’s Inside These Pumpkin-Spiced Beauties
Let’s talk clean, natural ingredients - because we like to pamper ourselves without the toxic gunk, right?
- Goat’s Milk Melt & Pour Soap Base: Super gentle and creamy - perfect for sensitive skin.
- Sugar: A natural exfoliant that buffs away dead skin, leaving you silky soft.
- Sweet Almond Oil: Moisturizes like a dream and gives your skin that dewy glow.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: Adds the cozy factor and a little bit of spice magic.
- Pumpkin Spice Essential Oil: YES. This is the warm hug of essential oils - comforting, uplifting, and makes your bathroom smell like fall exploded (in the best way!)
Pro Tip: This blend of essential oils isn’t just about scent - it’s aromatherapy, baby! Cinnamon and clove are known to uplift mood and promote feelings of comfort and warmth. So go ahead and take some deep breaths while you scrub.
Let’s Make 'Em! (DIY Instructions)
You’ll need:
- 4-cup microwave-safe measuring cup with a spout
- Wooden craft stick or spoon
- Silicone mold (like this one)
- Sharp knife
Ingredients:
- 2 – 1”x1” cubes of Goat’s Milk Soap Base
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoon Sweet Almond Oil
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 20 drops Pumpkin Spice Essential Oil
Directions:
Add the goat’s milk soap cubes to your measuring cup and microwave for 30 seconds to melt.
Stir in the sugar, almond oil, and pumpkin pie spice. If the mix thickens too fast, zap it for another 10–15 seconds.
Add your essential oil drops and stir like a happy little witch brewing a potion.
Pour the mixture into 3 cavities of your silicone mold. Let it cool and set for about 2 hours.
Once set, pop them out and cut each square into fourths.
Store in an airtight container and smile every time you use one!
How to Use Your Pumpkin Pie Sugar Scrub Cubes
In the shower or bath, take one cube and rub it gently over damp skin. The sugar exfoliates, the soap base cleanses, and the almond oil moisturizes. It’s basically a 3-in-1 treatment that leaves you feeling smooth, hydrated, and smelling like a bakery.
Use a cube or two per session depending on your scrub-a-dub goals. Just be careful - oily scrubs can make the tub a little slippery!
Storage + Gifting Tips
Keep your scrub cubes in an airtight container in a cool, dry spot (the bathroom counter works if it’s not too steamy). They’ll stay fresh for several weeks.

Why Pumpkin Spice Will Forever Be a Vibe
Listen, I am a fall junky and I own it. The scent of pumpkin spice gives me life. There’s something about that cozy, spicy aroma that makes everything feel right in the world. It’s like a warm blanket for your senses.
And thanks to aromatherapy, it’s not just nostalgia - those essential oils actually boost mood, ease tension, and give you that “I’ve got this” glow.
So go ahead, give yourself permission to indulge. You deserve to feel like a pumpkin spice goddess!
