Honey Body Scrub
Skin That Remembers How Soft It Used To Be
The jar opened in the shower three months ago. Still not empty. That's what happens when you use less than you think you need—when sugar dissolves as you work and honey crystallizes just enough to exfoliate without scratching.
Read
These body scrubs are made in Owings Mills with organic cane sugar, honey crystals (dried honey, not the sticky kind), and oils that actually absorb: sunflower, coconut, shea butter. Some have walnut shell powder for heels. Some have real rose petals because they look like what they smell like. One is just pure crystallized honey—nothing else in the jar.
The ingredient list matters here. Phthalate-free fragrance oils in some. Essential oil blends in others. The Original has one ingredient. Every formula starts with what exfoliates (sugar, honey crystals, sometimes walnut or blueberry seeds) and what moisturizes (organic sunflower oil, coconut oil, shea butter). Mix them in your hand under warm water and they turn into something between scrub and oil, something that rinses clean but leaves your skin different than it found it.
People use them on elbows. Feet before sandal season. The backs of arms where skin gets rough and forgets to shed on its own. Twice a week is plenty. Once if your skin is the type that turns red easily.
Made Small-Batch in Maryland
Mixed by hand in our USDA-standard lab in Owings Mills. Each jar gets dated because we make them in batches that actually fit in a room, not a factory.
Organic Sugar, Not Microbeads
The sugar dissolves as you use it. Scrubs that use plastic don't dissolve—they end up in waterways. Cane sugar turns back into what it came from.
Honey Crystals That Actually Exfoliate
Dried honey forms natural crystals that work like very polite sandpaper. They buff without tearing. The Original Honey Body Scrub is just this—100% pure crystallized honey, one ingredient.
Real Ingredients You Can Identify
Rose Garden has actual Rosa Centifolia petals. Autumn Harvest has pumpkin seed oil and walnut shell powder. Sea+Tea has pumice and sea clay. If it's in the name, it's in the jar.
Nothing That Requires a Chemistry Degree
Organic sunflower oil. Shea butter. Coconut oil. Honey. Sugar. The ingredient list reads like something you'd recognize in a kitchen, not a laboratory.
Twice a week for most people. Once a week if your skin turns pink easily or you're already using retinol or acids elsewhere. Daily is too much—you're removing skin faster than it's growing back.
The Original Honey Body Scrub (pure crystallized honey) or Peace of Mind (essential oil blend, no synthetic fragrance). Both skip anything that commonly irritates. Start with less pressure than you think you need.
Yes, especially Autumn Harvest (walnut shell powder) and Sea+Tea (pumice stone). Use more product and more pressure on heels and calluses. Less everywhere else.
They're formulated for body skin, which is thicker. Face skin is thinner and doesn't need this much exfoliation. You can use Sea + Tea on your face as long as you're gentle. We have separate face care products designed for that.
Nectar+Honey uses phthalate-free fragrance oil. Citrus Blossom, Place in the Sun, Autumn Harvest, Rose Garden, Sea+Tea, and Peace of Mind use essential oil blends. The Original has no added scent—just honey. Pick based on whether you want fragrance oil, essential oils, or no added scent.
Three to four months with twice-weekly use. You need less than you think—a small scoop is enough for your whole body. The oils spread as you massage, so the scrub goes further than it looks.
It can. The oils rinse off your skin but can make the tub slick. Rinse the shower floor after you're done, or put down a bath mat.
