Bodycology Exfoliating Sugar Scrub in Enchanted Forest Review

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

I am a huge proponent of body scrubs, and always have one or two in my shower at a time. They make such easy work of whisking away dead skin, and they reveal soft and smooth skin in virtually no time at all. 

The most recent scrub to join my arsenal is Bodycology Exfoliating Sugar Scrub in Enchanted Forest, and not only is it really effective and pleasant to use-- but it is also very affordable. 

The Enchanted Forest scent from Bodycology is described as,

The blend of jasmine, nutmeg, and musk in Enchanted Forest creates a mesmerizing and sensual aroma that captivates the senses. Enchanted Forest opens up with alluring notes of Sweet Orange and Jasmine. Mid-notes of Nutmeg, Muguet and Vanilla Crème create an exciting scent that ends with dry notes of Sandalwood, White Cedar and Musk.

Exfoliating sugar crystals refresh skin’s appearance while nourishing Shea Butter moisturizes and rehydrates. Massage gently in a circular motion, and rinse thoroughly to reveal softer skin and light fragrance.

Bodycology loaded this scrub with lots of sugar, by this I mean to say that it is very densely packed with the exfoliating particles. One might think that this would be too much of a good thing, but it actually has the perfect amount of grit. In fact, Bodycology seems to have really worked out the perfect ratio of sugar to the other accompanying ingredients, and rather remarkably just at the point that you should stop exfoliating a particular part of the body the sugar crystals dissolve-- preventing over-exfoliation. Once you rinse away the scrub you are left with soft and silky moisturized skin, but no oily residue. If you peruse the list of ingredients you can clearly see why this formula is so moisturizing: Bodycology included Jojoba Esters, Shea Butter, Evening Primrose Oil, Sunflower Oil, Avocado Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, and Orange Oil. The scent  is a distinctive spicy fruity floral, but it does not linger on the skin for very long-- therefore it won't interfere with any fragrances that you may plan on wearing.
Ingredients: Glycerin, Sucrose (Sugar), Polysorbate 20, Silica, Fragrance, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia (Macadamia Nut) Seed Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Cocs Nucifera (Coconut) Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, Polyethylene, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin. May Contain: Yellow 5 (Ci 19140), Yellow 6 (Ci 15985), Blue 1 (Ci 42090), Redd 33 (Ci 17200), Red 40 (Ci 16035).

Overall assessment: This makes easy work of exfoliating, and leaves your skin moisturized. Additionally, you just can't beat the price!
