Review : Organic Blue Mandarin and Ginger Body Scrub

Product Description
An ideal exfoliating shower lotion. We use an infusion of traditional Ayurvedic herbs including anti-bacterial Neem to help tonify the skin. A suspension of peach kernel powder acts as the exfoliating agent.

I bought this body scrub together with the shower gel which I have reviewed previously. However, the body scrub is a disappointment. At $10.90, its considered slightly more expensive than the normal body scrubs, however, I am fine with spending this amount for organic and natural brands since its going to be good for the skin and for the earth.
No synthetic fragrance or artifical colourings and housed in a pretty dark blue opaque bottle, it does remind me of the EO brand.
The material of the bottle is abit slippery when wet so I have actually dropped the bottle several times.
The contents are white in colour with brown tiny beads. The fragrance is uplifting and very soothing to the senses. In fact, I like the fragrance very much.
However, the peach kernel beads are gritty and abit harsh on my delicate skin. My whole body was left feeling dry after each scrub. To sum it up, I would say, it left my skin dry 8 out of 10 times.
Awful and I would not get the scrub every again.
