Maple Pecan Solid Scrub Project
These scrub bars are a treat for your skin - cocoa and shea butter hydrate while sugar scrubs away dead skin.
These bars make amazing gifts! Cocoa butter and shea butter keep your skin moisturized, and sugar and walnut shells scrub away dirt and excess oil. They're made with a touch of Almond Biscotti Fragrance Oil, which smells amazing mixed with cocoa butter.
We like using these solid scrubs in the shower. Apply to wet skin and gently scrub. Rinse off and pat dry. The bars leave a thin layer of moisturizing butter on the skin. Store them in a dry place to help them last longer, or place them on a draining soap dish.
