All Natural Sugar Scrub


Guaranteed, once you try it, you’ll be hooked.   

Our hand and body sugar scrub is made with all vegetable and organic components.  Typically, scrubs act simply as a mild exfoliator when rubbed on the skin; but ours is much more than that!  it includes emulsifiers, oils and fatty acids, essentially making it a scrub WITH moisturizing qualities.


Why Sugar??

We could have used salt; but it tends to create a small pool of oil on the product.  We found sugar actually absorbs more of the oils,  and when the scrub mixed with water, you will notice your skin soft and conditioned when rinsed, without the greasy after-feel of most salt scrubs, which leaves you just wanting to wash your hands again.  Salt also dries the skin much more than sugar.   I mean, it makes sense, right?



It works the same, and maybe even better in our opinion. But decide for yourself!

Ingredients include:

 
Beeswax; Beeswax locks in moisture, fosters cells and protects skin from damaging environmental factors.  Beeswax effectively softens your skin and creates a long-lasting protective coating against the elements. It also is a naturally nourishing moisturizer as well as being anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-allergenic and a germicidal antioxidant.  

Shea Butter; Shea better is a Superfood for your skin!  What makes Shea butter so great in skin care is its richness in elements, which include unsaturated fats with a large proportion of "unsaponifiables" components, essential fatty acids, phytosterols, vitamin E and D, provitamin A and allantoin.   Shea is great for helping to repair fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.  It is also an antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory.  It is deeply moisturizing, skin strengthening, skin protecting, UV protecting, skin regenerating, collagen producing (makes the skin stronger, more supple, and younger), and even helps with minor cuts and burns healing!

Coconut Oil; Coconut oil acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skin. The benefit of coconut oil is comparable to that of mineral oil.  But, unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin with coconut oil. It also delays wrinkles, and sagging of skin which inevitable happens with age. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, and other skin infections. It can also help in preventing premature aging and degenerative diseases due to its antioxidant properties.
