Rose & Chamomile Facial Scrub

Description from Marble & Milkweed

Our marvelous signature facial scrub. Organic oats and organic pink rose petals exfoliate gently in a base of raw local honey, while organic sesame and rosehip seed oils nourish and protect. This scrub is especially good for sensitive and “wise” skin because of the addition of rose otto and german chamomile essential oils, which soothe and promote elasticity, while also lending their gentle fragrance to the blend.

Rosehip seed oil is very healing, and contains high levels of vitamin A, which promotes skin cell regeneration and is often used for healing skin stressed by time and the elements. Sesame oil contains vitamin E, and has been a favorite ingredient in Ayurvedic skin care for thousands of years.

The raw honey base makes this scrub very thick. To use, dip a clean spoon into the jar and take out the amount you need, massage between the palms to warm and soften, adding a small amount of warm water, if necessary to form a cleansing paste. Smooth the scrub on using a circular motion and rinse gently with warm water. Try to avoid getting water into the jar, as it contains no preservatives. Honey based mixtures can last almost indefinitely if no moisture is introduced; still-edible honey was found in King Tut’s tomb, untouched for centuries!

ingredients: raw local honey, organic oats, organic rose petals, organic sesame oil, organic rosehip seed oil, vitamin e, organic essential oil of german chamomile, essential oil of rose otto

Our facial scrub is gentle enough even for sensitive skin, and is full of soothing botanicals, but as with any product that’s new to you, try a small patch test first to ensure its compatibility with your skin. As with all products containing essential oils, please consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or nursing.
