Body Scrub for Oily Skin and Body Acne

The Purifying Body Scrub is a natural exfoliating body scrub with pumice to help remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and smooth rough texture. It works as a body scrub for body acne, helping refresh congested areas like the back, chest and shoulders.

Gentle Body Scrub for Sensitive and Dry Skin

The Soothing Body Scrub sloughs away dead skin cells with crushed walnut and volcanic pumice, while arjuna, rose geranium and palmarosa help hydrate and preserve skin's natural moisture balance.

The Radiance Body Scrub reveals smoother, brighter and more radiant-looking skin with natural pumice, turmeric and papaya enzymes that help refine skin texture.
