Agave Sugar Scrub Project
Sugar scrubs are great for exfoliating dry skin on the legs, arms, and body. This one is made with agave extract, so skin is left feeling moisturized as well. Kelly Green Mica gives the mixture a fresh color that complements the Lush Succulent Fragrance Oil.
We didn't add a preservative to this scrub because it doesn't contain water. If you want to use one, we recommend an oil-soluble preservative like Optiphen. Learn more in our Preservatives Quick Guide.
