Whipped Sugar Body Polish | Basil + Mojito Mint

100% NATURAL SCENT: Nothing beats this mojito-inspired blend of Tahitian lime, cool spearmint and basil essential oils. It smells just like a summery mojito with freshly muddled basil and mint leaves.

Sugar (Sucrose) is a gentle abrasive ingredient in scrubs. It's a natural humectant, so it retains moisture and ensures skin is kept hydrated, making it ideal for delicate and sensitive skin, especially because it melts away upon contact with water. Sugar is also known to be a natural source of Glycolic Acid, also known as an AHA, which helps to break down dead, flaky skin and help support cell turnover.

Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii - organic + unrefined) makes up the bulk of our body butter. A higher percentage of unsaponifiables than most butters and oils means it's rich in vitamins, plant sterols, minerals and other beneficial compounds. Shea Butter (or Karite Butter) softens the skin, protects it from drying out and maintains elasticity.

Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil - organic + virgin) reduces inflammation and helps promote wound-healing. Coconut oil has been found to significantly reduce levels of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and increase skin surface lipid levels. It also adds a delicious sweet and nutty backdrop for our aromatic blends.

Safflower Oil (Carthamus tinctorius - organic) composed of over 75% oleic fatty acid, safflower oil is unparalleled in its ability to moisturize the skin but it still absorbs quickly. Safflower is one of the oldest cultivated plants and dyes made from this plant have been found in Egyptian tombs

Using dry fingers or a spoon, scoop out desired amount and apply to rough or flaky areas of skin on the body. Avoid applying it while standing directly in the shower. Instead, wet the skin and then step away from the stream of water and apply to damp skin for a medium exfoliation. For stronger exfoliation, apply to dry skin and then add warm water to rinse off. 

Exfoliating before shaving can help loosen  the free edge of hairs that can be trapped under the skin resulting in a smoother shave and decreased occurence of razor bumps and irritation.

Always follow up exfoliation with a nourishing body lotion, body butter or body oil to lock in moisture.

Avoid getting water into the jar. Although this formula contains a preservative, excess water can cause contents to spoil and the texture to change. We recommend scooping out desired amount for one use into a small bowl instead of continuously scooping out of the main jar.

Store away from heat and  direct sunlight or contents may melt. Do not store in the shower. Best kept into a dark cabinet.
