…

It is a bit of a pity that all the essential oils and extracts are so down at the bottom of the ingredient list.

Experience:
Texture: Very nice, has really high foaming ability so you don’t need to use too much of the product Spheres are really very tiny.
Smell: Beautiful naturally herbal. Nice tones of lavender

I loved this exfoliant! It is a wonderful product that lets you combine a shower gel and a scrub. I have never tried a body exfoliant that would make my skin so silky and smooth to the touch. After using it skin feels already moisturized. It’s incredible.

It is also a double pleasure to use it due to an energizing delicious herbal smell.

Around 70-80 $
