      • Vegan (Free-of animal derived ingredients)

        What It Is:
        A gentle yet effective scrub that uses polishing power from nature—Bamboo & Mineral Silica—to reduce the look of pores and reveal smoother-looking skin.

        What It Does:
        It whisks away dull, dead skin cells and surface impurities with the natural polishing power of Bamboo & Mineral Silica for a refreshed and more refined look. See immediate reduction in pore visibility (like 92% of women*). Infused with Mint Essential Oil to help balance the senses and Red Tourmaline, believed to cleanse energy and balance the spirit.

        *Clinical testing on 25 women, immediately after one product use.

        We Formulate Without:
        1,500+ ingredients in compliance with the EU’s stringent regulations. In addition, we are also free of: Parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing agents, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin, diethanolamine (DEA), polyethylene beads and animal ingredients (except cruelty-free honey and beeswax in select formulas). We are Vegetarian and also offer many formulas that are Vegan (free of animal-derived ingredients).
      • How to Use
      • After cleansing, massage into damp skin using a circular motion, avoiding the eyes. Rinse and pat dry. Use up to 4x a week.
      • Ingredients
      • Bamboo: Nature’s gentle and effective skin buffer sloughs the surface to help sweep away dead skin cells.
        Mineral Silica: Nature’s gentle and effective skin polisher helps clear and de-clog pores.
        Tourmaline: Believed to possess energy cleansing and spirit balancing properties.
        Mint:Essential oil helps refresh senses.

      HOW OUR SCRUB WORKS TO UNCLOG PORES

      See Two Exfoliants from Nature Work in Tandem

      EXFOLIATION 101

      Physical exfoliation (unlike chemical exfoliation) uses small particles to manually scrub away dead surface cells and debris. In NEW Checks and Balances™ Face Scrub, we use Bamboo and Mineral Silica to give you soft, smooth skin and instantly smaller-looking pores.
