how do we bring the buzz back to scrubbing?
THE GOOD.
We offer full transparency around what is in our products so you never have to second guess what you are using or triple check our packaging. There are no dodgy loop holes to claim natural, we simply are natural. We take serious pride in the fact that we only use clays, charcoal and plants to produce the colours in our blocks, and that we only use natural essential oils to produce our tremendous UNIVERSALLY inspired scent profiles. We don't use palm oil, that is getting chucked into everything these days as a cheap filler.
