I have always loved the way my skin felt and looked after using a sugar scrub. What I did not like was that often the sugar and oils would separate and they were very messy to use. I felt like a lot of precious scrub was being wasted. Also there was the "before or after" dilemma!  I if I used the scrub after my shower my skin was often too greasy and if I used it before, I felt like I was washing away all of the benefits!  So of course that meant one thing. . . time to create something a bit different!

• As we age there is a gradual decrease in the rate at which old dead cells leave the surface of our skin. This surface layer of dead skin cells is responsible for the appearance of dull, aged skin.

• Exfoliation is one of the quickest and easiest ways to achieve a healthy glow to the face and body, by removing the surface layer of dead skin cells.

• Glycolic acid, part of the chemical family referred to as alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), is a naturally occurring fruit acid found in sugar cane.

  Demerara Sugar

• Sugar scrubs can also help to unclog pores which increases cell turnover.
• So sugar scrubs actually exfoliate in two ways: the actual "scrubbiness" of the sugar plus the added chemical composition of the sugar's AHAs.

• Sugar is less abrasive than salt and is less irritating to sensitive skin

• You do not need to moisturize after using a sugar scrub

Adding a touch of our all natural soap creates a sugar scrub that exfoliates dead skin cells and hydrates, while gently cleansing the skin.  You can exfoliate and wash at the same time!  After massaging your skin with the scrub, wet your hands and massage again. The scrub will melt into a light cream lather. Rinse and pat dry.

Our scubs provides gentle, yet effective exfoliation and will not leave your skin feeling greasy--just smooth and clean!

You will love the way your skin feels after using our scrubs.  They stimulate dull and lifeless skin, leaving it feeling smooth and moisturized.

We begin with a medley of fine grain texture organic cane juice sugar, medium grain texture Turbinado sugar, and coarse texture Demerara sugar.  Each grain texture provides its own level of exfoliation. Avocado butter, Grapeseed oil and Jojoba oil are added to moisturize to your skin.  Finally a bit of Chagrin Valley's Aloe soap.

We use Fair Trade certified organic sugars

FACIAL Sorbet

Hi Ida,

• They are made in very small batches using the freshest ingredients available. 

• Sugar is a Natural preservative.  Jams and jellies are a method of preserving fruit.  Moisture in your scrub will become saturated with dissolved sugar. This creates a hypertonic solution, which basically dehydrates the moisture out of bacteria through a process called osmosis.

• A touch of orange essential oil also helps a bit!

PLEASE . . .

• Store away from heat
• Keep the jar lid tightly sealed
• Do not introduce water into the sugar scrub jar.  Water encourages the growth of mold and bacteria.

The way WE use our BODY Scrubs! A level tablespoon is enough for one shower (although you may like more or less). Scoop out the scrub with a clean spoon and roll into a little ball (the size of a melon ball). Take it in your shower/bath and pinch off small pieces to use. OR Use a clean utensil to scoop the desired amount of scrub into a clean, tiny jar and work from that small portion as you exfoliate in your bath or shower. Either method will help keep your jar of scrub fresh longer!

For maximum freshness, use the scrub within a month or two after opening!

Turbinado Sugar is refined slightly more than demerara, and has a lighter brown color with smaller crystals.  It is a relatively unprocessed cane sugar, unrefined and crystallized through evaporation.  It is spun in a cylinder or turbine, hence its name. "Sugar in the Raw" is this type of sugar, although in North America raw sugar is actually not "raw" as it has been partially refined to remove any contaminants. Turbinado sugar crystals are much larger, and are made at an earlier period in the sugar cane processing method than cane sugar.  So the turbinado crystals are coarser than refined sugar but finer than demerara. We use Fair Trade certified organic Turbinado sugar.
