Benefits and purpose of each ingredient
oil - adds moisture to scrub
shea butter - serves as a great moisturizer and helps harden scrub a bit.
ritamulse scg - helps to create an emulsified and hardened scrub. Adds slip and glide to scrub
cetyl alcohol - adds slip, glide, conditioning, and emollience to scrub. Also acts as a co emulsifier and hardener for scrub.
pumpkin scented extract - is packed with vitamins and minerals and soothes and moisturizes the skin. It can also act as an accelerator, helping the skin to absorb nutrients quickly. & smells like pumpkin!
pumpkin powder - the fine, orange powder, smells exactly like pumpkin. Pumpkin gently removes dead skin cells and leaves skin smooth and glowing.
vitamin E oil - reduces UV-induced free radical damage to the skin. It also protects cells against the effects of free radicals which are formed as by-products of the body’s metabolic processes.
optiphen - helps preserve product since this scrub may come into contact with water
sugar - serves as exfoliant
