Exfoliation is an important part of any skincare routine because it helps to remove dirt, dead cells and excess oil from the skin surface, making your skin soft and smooth. If you’re a fan of natural exfoliants, check out sugar body scrubs by Cocos. They are formulated with fine sugar crystals and infused with natural oils and extracts that will take good care of your skin.
Cocos is a Ukrainian beauty brand that produces natural, handmade cosmetics free of synthetic compounds. All its products are based on natural ingredients like coconut oil and soap root extract; they do not contain any SLS/SLES (sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate), parabens, artificial dyes and fragrances, or other potential irritants.
Among the brand’s products there are several face and body scrubs based on natural exfoliants such as sugar, sea salt, sunflower wax granules, crushed almonds, and ground coffee. Today, let’s take a closer look at sugar body scrubs produced by Cocos.
Sugar is considered to be one of the best natural exfoliating agents. Tiny sugar crystals help to get rid of dead skin cells, dirt, grime and excess sebum, unclog pores and make the skin smoother. At the same time, they don’t cause any damage because they melt on contact with skin, neither do they irritate sensitive skin. In addition to sugar, Cocos scrubs contain vegetable and essential oils that help to lock in moisture, provide the skin with essential nutrients and prevent irritation.
Citrus Sugar Body Scrub moisturises, nourishes and softens the skin thanks to containing a blend of carrier oils (coconut oil, sweet almond oil and mustard seed oil). Sweet almond oil is widely used in cosmetics because of its light texture and high absorbency. It provides the skin with fatty acids, vitamins, carotene (provitamin A), bioflavonoids, sodium, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and other nutrients.
Mustard seed oil has a strong antioxidant effect. It neutralises free radicals, prevents premature skin ageing and enhances skin elasticity. Coconut oil is a rich source of saturated fatty acids; it softens the skin, prevents dehydration, improves complexion and stimulates skin regeneration and renewal.
The scrub also contains citrus essential oils (orange, lemon and bergamot) that give it a nice smell, relieve inflammation, stimulate microcirculation in the epidermis, produce an antibacterial and antiseptic effect, improve skin tone, and serve as natural preservatives that prolong the product’s shelf life.
Chocolate Body Scrub will transform your regular bath or shower into a luxurious SPA ritual. It is formulated with ground cocoa beans, sweet almond oil and coconut oil. These ingredients provide the skin with vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, making it soft and velvety smooth. Besides, cocoa beans are rich in caffeine that stimulates microcirculation and skin cell metabolism, helping to prevent cellulite.
In addition to sugar, Cocos’s Chocolate Body Scrub contains crushed almonds as an exfoliating agent. They gently polish the skin and make it incredibly smooth and soft to touch.
