Description
Just like your face, your body needs exfoliation to stay soft, smooth and healthy. Dead skin rises to the surface and sheds naturally, thankfully revealing the soft, new skin underneath. Unfortunately, this process slows as we age and dead cells build up, making skin look dehydrated, dull and older than it is.
Enter Juicy Buff Body Scrub, which not only smooths and polishes the skin, but also draws out impurities and leaves a silky after-feel. Our natural body scrub deeply nourishes dry, rough and dehydrated skin, helps prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps, and reduces skin discolouration/pigmentation. Using a body scrub will help draw out impurities, promote healthy circulation and improve congested skin. Ideal for removing fake tan, and paying extra attention to feet, knees and elbows where skin is prone to discolouration and dryness. Juicy Buff Body Scrub is made with 100% biodegradable ingredients and is free from synthetic perfumes, colours and detergents. Smells of fresh, sweet orange juice that softly lingers on the skin.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Organic, Fairtrade Shea Butter
Shea Butter is rich in vitamins A, E and F, and penetrates and protects your skin. It’s the reason our body scrub has a lasting richness and provides intense skin nourishment without being greasy. The sustainable story of Shea butter production is one of its greatest assets. Our traditional Ghanaian Shea butter has been hand crafted by a local women’s cooperative in the sub-Saharan Savannah-Sahel. The butter is extracted from the nuts of the Shea tree, and the harvest and processing provides Ghanaian women with a secured income for their family. Women in the Co-op harvest, clean and press the Shea nuts and then negotiate their own price before it arrives in Europe for retail. We are proud to use Shea butter that makes a significant positive impact on families within Ghana.
Sea Buckthorn & Sweet Orange
“How on earth is your body scrub this orange without any artificial colours,” you ask? It’s a combination of two superstar ingredients: Sea Buckthorn oil and Sweet Orange, and this combo also packs a potent Vitamin C punch! Our Sea Buckthorn fruit oil contains an exceptional concentration of natural anti-ageing Vitamin C; 12 x higher than that of an orange! The antioxidant properties of Vitamin C, and its role in the production of Collagen, make it a vital molecule for healthy, glowing skin. Sea Buckthorn oil is extracted from the fruit pulp, which gives it an intense red/orange colour naturally. The Sweet Orange oil we use is also bright orange. This oil is harvested and distilled from fresh, organic orange peels. You will have come across orange oil when peeling the fruit in your hands, you will feel the natural oils from the peel and this is the exact oil we are expressing. Orange oil is known for its Limonene (approx. 85%) and Myrcene (approx 5%) content, which are some of the best antioxidants for fighting off free radical damage. Its vitamin A, B and C content are wonderful attributes of our body scrub, not to mention the invigorating aroma and colour benefits it provides.
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
Coconut oil has mild antipruritic, antiseptic and keratolytic (compounds that break down the outer layers of thick skin) properties. Our Organic Coconut Oil is food grade, cold-pressed and unrefined, so it retains it’s beautiful coconut scent. Coconut oil is antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and a thorough moisturiser for all skin types.
Himalayan Pink Salt
Himalayan pink salt improves skin health by exfoliating, loosening and dissolving dead skin as well as stimulate circulation, which is what sluggish skin cells need. We use a fine grain, so our body scrub does the job properly without being too harsh on the skin (like coffee or apricot shells).

DIRECTIONS
Transport yourself to a tropical orangery with scent, colour and an invigorating texture. Scrub twice a week to rejuvenate, smooth and hydrate your skin in the bath or shower. Use warm water; allow it to run for 5-10 minutes to soften the skin. Pause the running water. Take a scoopful and lightly massage your skin in upward, circular motions. Maintain gentle pressure, but don’t scrub too hard. You can use less pressure on sensitive areas like upper thighs and abdomen. When you’re finished, rinse with warm water and gently pat dry. Don’t rub the towel up and down or you will remove all your lovely oils. We recommend using a dark towel in case of temporary colour transfer from our organic Orange oil. If that happens, don’t worry as it will wash out with hot, soapy water in the laundry.
