This beautiful new facial scrub offers an indulgent exfoliating experience for sensitive skins. Made with shea butter, beeswax, sweet almond oil, vitamin E and brown sugar, this unscented delight moisturises, nourishes and renews the complexion. This scrub's amazing skin benefits!: - Shea butter provides essential hydration to counter the drying effects of physical exfoliation. Acting as a rich emollient, it locks in moisture while its anti-inflammatory properties soothe the skin and reduce redness caused by scrubbing. It is non-comedogenic (unlikely to clog pores) and delivers vitamins A and E to protect and nourish. Why Incorporate Shea Butter into Your Scrub? Counters Over-Exfoliation: The physical act of scrubbing can strip your skin of its natural oils. Shea butter acts as a deep moisturiser that seals in hydration during the cleansing process. Soothes Inflammation: Shea butter contains plant-based compounds like triterpene esters that naturally calm redness and irritation, making the scrub gentler on sensitive skin. Rich in Vitamins: Packed with vitamins A, E, and F, it provides direct antioxidant protection against free radicals while promoting tissue regeneration. Non-Comedogenic: Unlike other heavy butters or oils (like coconut oil), shea butter is highly unlikely to clog your pores or trigger breakouts. - Beeswax acts as a soothing thickener in a facial scrub, and a breathable barrier that prevents the harsh over-stripping often caused by exfoliation. While the physical granules in the scrub remove dead cells, beeswax ensures your skin remains hydrated, calm, and protected throughout the process. Key Benefits of Beeswax in a Facial Scrub: Prevents Post-Scrub Dryness: It acts as a natural humectant to draw moisture into the skin. Locks in Moisture: Its occlusive properties seal in hydration so the freshly exfoliated skin doesn't dry out. Soothes Friction and Irritation: The inherent anti-inflammatory properties calm redness caused by physical scrubbing. Creates a Breathable Barrier: It forms a protective layer against environmental pollutants without clogging. Fights Acne-Causing Bacteria: Natural antibacterial properties help disinfect micro-tears and prevent post-scrub breakouts. Encourages Cell Regeneration: It is naturally rich in Vitamin A, which supports faster cellular turnover and smoother skin texture. Improves Product Texture: It binds the exfoliating granules and oils together, creating a smooth, stable, and creamy application. - Sweet almond oil deeply hydrates and soothes the skin without clogging pores. Packed with vitamins A and E, omega-3 fatty acids, and zinc, it helps reduce inflammation, smooth fine lines, and fade dark circles. It is a versatile, lightweight choice for daily moisturising. Key Benefits: Deep Moisturisation: As a powerful emollient, it locks in moisture and helps strengthen your natural skin barrier. Antioxidant Protection: High levels of Vitamin E fight free radicals, shielding your face from environmental stressors and sun damage. Improves Complexion: The natural retinoids (Vitamin A) promote cell turnover, evening out skin tone and improving overall radiance. Reduces Inflammation: Its soothing properties help alleviate irritation and redness associated with conditions like eczema and psoriasis. - Brown sugar provides gentle exfoliation without scratching the skin. It is naturally rich in glycolic acid, which breaks down dead skin cells, while its molasses content acts as a humectant to draw in moisture, leaving your face glowing and deeply hydrated. Why It Works: Gentle Exfoliation: Because the granules are finer and softer than regular white sugar or salt, it is ideal for the delicate skin on your face. Deep Hydration: The natural glycolic acid acts as an AHA to promote fresh cell growth, while the molasses locks in moisture. Boosts Circulation: Massaging the scrub onto your skin promotes blood flow, encouraging collagen production for a natural, healthy glow. Budget-Friendly: It’s an inexpensive, all-natural alternative to harsh, chemical-heavy store-bought scrubs. - Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that shields cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage. It acts as a natural barrier to prevent moisture loss, helps soothe dry skin, and reduces UV-induced inflammation. Antioxidant Protection: It neutralises free radicals caused by pollution and UV radiation, which are responsible for premature ageing and wrinkles. Deep Moisturisation: It reinforces the skin's lipid barrier, locking in hydration and providing relief for dry or flaky skin. Soothing & Healing: Its anti-inflammatory properties calm irritation, making it useful for soothing sunburns. Scar & Blemish Reduction: It accelerates cell regeneration, helping to diminish the appearance of acne marks and minor scars. Directions for Use: Apply a generous amount of scrub to a clean, dry face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area. Gently massage in circular motions for 30 seconds. Wipe off with a clean towel or muslin cloth. Skin will be left feeling soft, nourished and moisturised. 100%Certified Organic Ingredients: *Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, *Cera Alba (Beeswax), *Prunus Amygdalus (Sweet Almond) Oil, *Sucrose (Brown Sugar), *Tocopherol (Vitamin E) *Certified Organic Allergen Warning: May contain nuts.
