Hey, babes!<\/p>\n

Today, I’ll be writing about the Seed & Soul Step-Up Scrub<\/a>, which was kindly sent to me for review purposes. Seed & Soul are a New Zealand brand with a focus on sustainability and plant-based well-being.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This particular scrub is honestly amazing for skin and the environment – it doesn’t contain any harmful microbeads<\/a>, comes in a glass jar with no excess packaging, and really, really works. Instead of microbeads, it contains small pieces of loofah to gently exfoliate your skin. It also contains a whole slew of incredibly moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and jojoba seed oil to make sure that your skin isn’t left dry after exfoliating.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I also LOVE how this smells! It’s citrusy and fresh with a kind of sweet vanilla note at the end, so I always look forward to nights when I use this instead of chemically exfoliating. Since I started using Tretinoin, I’m pretty cautious about over exfoliating but I don’t feel like I have to worry about that too much with this because of how gentle the loofah particles are and how nourishing this is. After rinsing it off, I can literally feel the additional moisture on my skin from the shea butter and jojoba oil. My skin is also suuuper soft the morning after.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The only drawback of this product IMO is the packaging – I know, I know, I just said before that the jar was a GOOD idea! However, I dislike jar packaging because it is so easy to contaminate the product, especially a product that you are touching with wet hands and keeping in a place that is frequently wet and warm. That said, the scrub does have a 6-month shelf life, and this is definitely easily usable in 6 months. I guess there is always going to be a trade off for products that cost less to the Earth.<\/p>\n

Overall, I do really enjoy using this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for effective, environmentally-friendly skincare! It gets a 4\/5 from me.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite green skincare brand?<\/p>\n
