At $26.90 for 125ml, I thought this was terribly expensive on my pockets, nonetheless, I still get it. Mainly because I thought the promoter at Parco Marina Bay was very patient and took pains to explain each product to me, since I was pretty new to this brand. It was evident that English was not her first language yet she never use any Mandarin with me, instead she tried her best to help me with my queries. Knowing how poor customer service can be in Singapore at times, good and helpful service can really make my day. It was not the best service I received in Singapore, but still, I am thankful for that even though this is supposed to be part of their jobscope.

Perfect Potion captures the essences of the world’s most therapeutic essential oils, herbal extracts and healing plants, creating an aromatherapy-based natural skin care alternative that’s as much about nurturing the mind and soul as it is about nourishing the skin.
Developed in Australia by renowned aromatherapy experts Salvatore Battaglia and Carolyn Stubbin, Perfect Potion is the result of more than fourteen years of studying and honing their craft and sharing their unique insights with customers in Australia and around the world.
Perfect Potion is also animal and environment friendly. There is NO testing on animals, NO animal derived products (except honey and beeswax) in their formulations, and to save the environment, Perfect Potion uses only ingredients that are sustainable and renewable, avoids wasteful packaging where possible, and ensures all packaging used is fully recyclable (source)

It baffles me as to why there are 2 Singapore Perfect Potion websites. You can check both here and here but I believe that perfectpotion.sg should be the latest one, since the location did state Parco Marina Bay as one of the outlets.

The whole packaging looks more premium than other scrubs I owned. Juniper and grapefruit fragrance filled the senses. The nut shells are enveloped in dark brown contents which can gets slightly messy with white bathroom walls like mine.
Walnut scrubs gives a slightly nutty and almost abrasive scrub to my body so use with a light hand. I enjoyed using this scrub as it gives smooth skin without any additional film on the skin or any dry after-feel.

Ingredient Description
Xanthan Gum : Also known as corn sugar gum.  This polysaccharide is produced from the bacteria (Xanthomas campestris) being fermented with corn sugar.  It is used as a thickener, emulsifier and gelling agent.  It is also often used in foods. It is used in the Papaya Enzyme Mask to give the product a smooth thickened texture when mixed with water
Aqua : Purified water is an essential component for healthy looking skin and hair, as it cleans and moisturises. It is also necessary to dissolve water-soluble ingredients in a product and therefore forms the base of most of Perfect Potion's products.
Sorbitan Olivate : An emulsifier that is often blended with cetearyl olivate. Together, these emulsifiers help mix oil- and water-based ingredients and help to give a product a luxurious, smooth feel. It also imparts moisturising properties to the skin.
Sorbic Acid : Derived from naturally occurring preservative. Widely used in the food and cosmetic industries as a preservative
Sodium Benzoate : Derived from sodium salt of benzoic acid. In the food and cosmetics industries sodium benzoate is used as a preservative, effectively killing most yeasts, bacteria and fungi.
