Gently polish away dull skin and reveal a healthy-looking glow with this foaming body scrub. This new and improved formula features:

• Cane Sugar: Provides gentle physical exfoliation to buff away dry, flaky skin
• Apricot oil:  Nourishes the skin to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin tone, and increases skin radiance. It also has antiseptic, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects, which can help to heal blemishes and protect against environmental damages.
• Castor oil: Castor oil acts as a lubricant and is beneficial for preventing sagging skin. It doesn’t let the skin become dry and helps to tighten loose skin.
• Mango butter:   
  • Super Hydrates the skin thanks to its butter-like texture.
  • It is a powerful emollient for dry skin, forming a naturally occlusive, protective barrier that could help to boost skin’s own natural barrier function. It helps to fight fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage.
  • It is stacked with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that set it up with some pretty potent anti-aging properties. It has a high percentage of tocopherols (vitamin E) that could help fight environmental stressors like UV rays, pollution, and even visible light. Vitamin A can help decrease sun related skin damage, and phytosterols which are natural skin-loving compounds similar to cholesterol to help support a healthy skin barrier.
  • Contains triterpenes, which are plant compounds that have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties that can help protect skin and aid in the repair of dry, irritated, and generally upset skin. 
  • Contains a large amount of vitamin C, which may help improve the production of collagen—the primary structural protein in skin and connective tissues.
