Cafe Almond Sugar Scrub

The combination of soft Almond Flour, and chunky Demerara Sugar makes this deeply moisturizing Sugar Scrub an absolute pleasure to use. Roasted Coffee Oil has a medium texture, and a very robust aroma. This special oil is rich in antioxidants, and beneficial phytosterols, making it extremely useful in skin care recipes.

This Sugar Scrub also contains a portion of Sweet Almond Oil, another highly moisturizing Oil with a slightly less viscous texture than the Roasted Coffee Oil. Left unscented, the Cafe Almond Sugar Scrub will smell strongly of Roasted Coffee Oil. Unlike synthetic Coffee fragrances, all natural Roasted Coffee Oil has a deep, robust aroma, free of any sweet or sugary notes. Adding 1/2 teaspoon of Amaretto or French Vanilla Fragrance Oil can give this scrub a much sweeter aroma, but it is totally optional.
