Chai Latte - Spiced Vanilla Body Scrub 302g | Salt + Steam
- Low stock - 5 items left
Dead Sea salt and pink Himalayan rock salt, loosened with almond and jojoba oils and scented with cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. Somewhere between a chai and an eggnog latte.
Two salts do the work here - Dead Sea salt is coarser and does the exfoliating, Himalayan rock salt is finer and softens the edge. They sit in almond and jojoba oil rather than a cheap carrier, which is why your skin feels conditioned afterwards instead of stripped.
The scent is the winter one in the range: vanilla first, then nutmeg and cinnamon leaf, with a little ylang ylang underneath. A proper Sunday night bath product.
Scoop a little out with dry hands, massage over damp skin in the shower or bath, then rinse. Two or three times a week is plenty. The oils will leave the floor of the bath slippery, so take care getting out.
Maris Sal (Dead Sea salt), Sodium Chloride (Himalayan rock salt), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (sweet almond) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed (jojoba) Oil, Vanilla Planifolia (vanilla) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (sunflower) Seed Oil, Cananga Odorata (ylang ylang) Flower Oil, Myristica Fragrans (nutmeg) Fruit Oil, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum (cinnamon) Leaf Oil.
Contains sweet almond oil - not suitable for anyone with a nut allergy.
Is it harsh?
It is a salt scrub, so it is more robust than a sugar one. Go gently on anywhere thin-skinned and skip it entirely on broken skin or straight after shaving - salt in a nick is a memorable experience.
Will it block the drain?
The salt dissolves, but the oils can build up over time. Run the hot tap for a few seconds afterwards.
Do I need to moisturise after?
Usually not - the almond and jojoba leave enough behind. If your skin is very dry, the solid body butters are the obvious follow-on.
Salt + Steam blend everything by hand in the UK from 100% natural ingredients. Vegan, cruelty-free, paraben and sulphate-free, and packed without plastic - the butters come in a cardboard push-up tube and the scrubs in a metal tin.
