What Product Is This?

This is Seeds of Beauty Natural Bath Gommage and Scrub. It is an all-natural body scrub.


The Package

It's packaged in an opaque white plastic jar. The plastic used is extremely hard and does not break easily.





What Does It Do For Your Skin?

Most consumers are familiar with native African black soap also called Alata Samina. It has become a popular product in the Western beauty and cosmetics industry aside from its local popularity. Seeds of Beauty Natural Gommage & Scrub are made in a similar process. Like traditional African black soap, this product has natural deep cleansing benefits. 

Its listed ingredients include honey, lemon extract, and whole wheat to make for an active and rapid skin-lightening scrub.  Whole wheat is much more effective and gentle compared to apricot seed-based scrubs which are more common and does not break easily.





Important Ingredients

Honey is a very valuable addition to the list. Seeds of Beauty Natural Bath Gommage and Scrub contain honey to help achieve lighter skin tones. Also honey has anti-bacterial properties.

Lemon extract is very rich in anti-oxidants including Vitamin C which lightens the skin, protects against free radicals, and helps fight the visible signs of aging. Also lemon contains citric acid another anti-oxidant that promotes skin health by supporting a balanced skin surface pH and promoting exfoliation. 

Whole wheat has a host of skincare benefits. In this product, it serves primarily as an exfoliate. However, it also contains skin-nourishing zinc and vitamin E which is a gentle anti-oxidant. Whole wheat works effectively with the other ingredients to cleanse pores and leave the skin looking firm and healthy not break easily.

How Much Is It Priced?

Seeds of Beauty Natural Bath Gommage and Scrub are priced in retail outlets at N2,000-3,000 (which is equivalent to $2-3 USD).

What To Avoid

The active ingredients can cause sensitivity of the skin and darkening in the presence of harsh sunlight. Be careful to avoid over-exfoliation which can expose and damage the skin which is the body's natural barrier against the elements. It is preferable to exfoliate 2-3 times weekly. 

Exercise caution as with all skin-lightening products. Avoid harsh sunlight at all times. This product is not a facial scrub. We recommend the use of other products that are specifically formulated for the face.




Conclusion

We highly recommend Seeds of Beauty Natural Gommage and Scrub. It's effective as an all-natural, gentle body scrub. When used properly it can provide visible benefits with its cleansing and exfoliating properties. Give it a try today. Order it here.

Always protect your skin from harsh sunlight whenever you go outdoors. This is even more important when you use skin-lightening products. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF50 or higher.
