Meet the face scrub that took years to get right. Heliotrope SF's Lemon & Thyme Charcoal Face Scrub is a gentle yet genuinely effective exfoliator for anyone who wants clearer, softer skin — without the harshness. It's crafted with natural ingredients, free from sulfates, synthetic perfumes, and artificial colours, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who cares about clean skincare.
✨ Features
- 🟡 Jojoba Wax Beads: Derived from the jojoba plant, these perfectly spherical beads have no rough edges — so they lift away dirt and dead skin cells without irritating or over-stripping the skin.
- 🖤 Activated Bamboo Charcoal: Naturally antibacterial and detoxifying, charcoal draws out impurities from deep within pores.
- 🌿 Kaolin Clay: Absorbs excess oil and helps detoxify the skin. Leave the scrub on as a mask and rinse off once the clay dries — your call.
- 🍋 Lemon & Thyme Essential Oils: Pure essential oils (no synthetic fragrance) give this scrub its fresh, natural scent while purifying the skin and encouraging healthy cell turnover.
- 🌱 Botanical Extracts: A blend of aloe vera, hazelnut oil, tamanu oil, calendula, olive leaf, grape seed, and cotton seed extracts nourish and support the skin barrier.
- 📦 Two Sizes Available: Choose from a 2 oz or 6 oz jar depending on your routine or gifting needs.
- 🚫 No Sulfates, No Synthetic Perfumes, No Artificial Colours.
💚 Benefits
- Skin feels noticeably softer and more receptive to moisturiser or serum after use — because clean pores absorb better.
- Gentle enough for regular use (2–3 times per week) without leaving skin tight or irritated.
- Doubles as a detoxifying clay mask when left on for a few minutes before rinsing.
- The natural lemon and thyme scent makes every wash feel like a small ritual rather than a chore.
- A genuinely considered gift for skincare lovers, teens, or anyone switching to cleaner beauty products.
- Refillable at the Heliotrope Oakland Studio — bring in your empties and reduce your waste.
