WHY WE MADE THIS
Most body scrubs either feel too harsh or fail to provide thorough exfoliation. We've combined gentle physical exfoliants with effective chemical actives to create a scrub that visibly refreshes skin while maintaining its natural moisture balance.
THE SCIENCE
1

Exfoliates on multiple levels

Salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid, helps cleanse oil and debris in pores while hydrated silica beads gently buff away surface cells.
2

Cleanses and purifies

Salicylic acid's unique oil-soluble properties allow it to cleanse pores thoroughly, helping to improve the appearance of breakouts.
3

Soothes and comforts

Aloe vera extract calms and soothes the skin while panthenol helps maintain the skin barrier during the exfoliation process.
4

Maintains optimal hydration

Shea butter and hyaluronic acid replenish moisture immediately after exfoliation, preventing the tightness and dryness common with other scrubs.

Build your shower routine

1

Apply a generous amount to damp skin and massage in circular motions, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and congested regions.

2

Leave on for 30 seconds to allow the salicylic acid to work before thoroughly rinsing.

3

Start by using it once a week to allow your skin to adjust. Depending on your skin's sensitivity, you can gradually increase to up to three times use per week.
