Osea Malibu Salts of the Earth Body Scrub
Works for
MoisturizingCarthamus tinctorius seed oil, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 4 moreWorks
“Mineral-rich salts from around the world buff away roughness, while shea butter and wild Gigartina seaweed nourish for silky-smooth, glowing skin.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, carthamus tinctorius seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butter, TocopherolNot delivered
“Exfoliate, soften, and leave your skin feeling silky smooth with this anti-aging and hydrating mineral body scrub.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Our skin-softening formula transforms into a gentle exfoliator as you work it into the skin.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
