"Rejuvenate your skin
with invigorating Shea Butter Sugar Scrubs. Gently buff your body to a satin
finish with a combination of sugars and botanical extracts that help to
exfoliate dead skin cells and refine texture, while precious oils sink deep
to soften and moisturize. This isn't any ordinary scrub. No oil slick and no
greasy tub."
We admit it.
We are fortunate to be able to try wonderful lotions and potions from all
over the globe, and it has made us picky. We have access to the best spa
products around, from those specially crafted before our eyes and bodies in
tropical spa getaways, to complex concoctions not available outside of the
spa environment. For that reason, when a retail or over the counter
product strikes our fancy, we love to share the news with home spa
enthusiasts who are searching for products which help achieve that baby-like
alpha skin.
Bidwell Botanicals'
Shea Butter
Sugar Scrub is one of those products. This
delightful scrub has the consistency of freshly creamed butter and sugar,
rather than the customary oily and gloppy texture found in most moisturizing
scrubs. The result is a buttery scrub that sensuously spreads onto your
skin, gently exfoliating and moisturizing, all the while staying in place,
where you want it. No dripping salt or oils, here, heading down the drain
before you're finished. The Cranberry Fig scent is very subtle, but
lovely. Tiny cranberry seeds are sprinkled throughout, and rather than having
a cloying or artificial aroma, the blend is perfectly measured and balanced
to be as soothing and gentle as the product itself. Best of all,
the buttery scrub is clean rinsing, dissolving into a milky white liquid
which rinses away completely and effortlessly, making it ideal to use in home
tubs, while traveling, and in the spa environment. We
sniffed our soft hands arms throughout the day and went through the jar in a
matter of days (we keep our scrubs by our hand sink -- why not treat yourself
every time you wash your hands?).
Bidwell Botanicals is based
in Atlanta, Georgia, and is an
independent woman-owned business founded by Jill Jones. All Bidwell
Botanical products are conceived and created in-house, and include handmade
soaps, moisturizers, and spa treatments which contain only the finest food
grade oils, creamy milks, farm grown and home grown botanicals and flowers,
aroma therapeutic essential oils and fragrances. Creamy goat's milk and pure
raw honey are locally harvested.
Jones tells us "I'm glad
you like the sugar scrub. It is one of our best selling items. We provide
this product to several upscale spas for treatments and retail. I think
because it rinses clean and is not a mess like most scrubs, it's very easy
for therapists to use and their customers rave about it."
