Frequently Asked Questions

Answer:  Exfoliating Sugar Scrub can be used on any area of the body (bikini area included!) and is a great general exfoliator to keep skin hydrated and glowing. Exfoliating and moisturizing are key to preventing ingrown hairs. Bikini Care Scrub is a coconut oil-free blend specially formulated for the bikini area (and anywhere else you remove hair) and is great for stubborn ingrown hairs. The specific essential oils in the blend help prevent ingrown hairs more than exfoliating alone.

Question:  Can I use any of your scrubs on my face?

Answer:  Our lip scrubs are lip safe.  Our Exfoliating Sugar Scrubs are not recommended for facial use.  Our Bikini Care Scrub could definitely be used on your face depending on your skin type.  

Question:  Why do your sugar scrubs say to use within 2-3 weeks of opening?

Answer:  Our sugar sugar scrubs don't contain any preservatives, which means that once you start using them (read: put anything into the jar) they should be used quickly.  With that said, if you peel of the seal just to smell the product (and you don't get anything like your fingers or water in the jar), it is absolutely fine to put the lid back on the jar and put it in the cabinet and come back months later.  But once you open it and put it in your shower, use it up quickly.  And - IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP WATER OUT OF THE JAR.  That's why we suggest scooping with a spoon instead of your fingers - to minimize water and other contaminants getting into the scrub and ruining it.  

Question:  I have diabetes and/or am watching my sugar intake.  Can you use your sugar scrubs?

Answer:  We aren't doctors and we've never measured or researched how much sugar from sugar scrubs are absorbed through the skin, but it's highly unlikely that your skin would absorb enough sugar to cause a problem (or count as sugar/calories)  If you are concerned, check with your doctor.
