Description
This Tea Tree body scrub uses a delicate blend of unrefined sea salt (Soil Association certified) and organic extra virgin olive oil. The fine grain salt gently exfoliates the skin and sloughs away dirt and dead skin cells whilst the olive oil feeds and moisturises the freshly, smooth skin, leaving your skin feeling polished, soft and heavenly. We use fine grain sea salt for a gentle exfoliant compared to course sea salt which tends to be abrasive.
Olive oil contains at least four different types of antioxidant: vitamins A and E, polyphenols, phytosterols and avenasterol to help maintain a healthy body. The antioxidants in olive oil work by neutralising damaging free radicals that can lead to skin aging and skin cancer. Chlorophyll is also present in olive oil – a photosynthetic pigment found in plants and algae – the life-giving part of the plant. It is an anti-aging substance that promotes the healing of skin conditions and wounds.
Tea Tree essential oil has been used for centuries to clean wounds and treat a wide variety of skin conditions. It is a popular go to choice of oil for those prone to spots due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral and even antifungal properties. Tea tree will cleanse the skin, help eradicate any infection and calm inflammation.

I love this scrub! It’s so effective, you feel like you have a brand new layer of moisturised skin after use. My boyfriend used to buy a scrub from another brand that cost twice the price, and he finds mine even more effective and cleansing that he asks me to buy more of this one! The tea tree is very gentle, and helps with breakouts you might get on your back.

Thank you so much Danielle. Heavenly Organics came about because I started making this very scrub for myself and then for friends!
