Jungle Botanics Natural Body Glow Nutshell Scrub: Review
Hello Lovelies!
Guess who's finally back! did any of you miss me? I guess nobody did... *pouts*
I feel like all I've been doing for this last couple of months is reading novels and taking exams without studying enough (I TOTALLY blame sir Rob aka Rob Thier for writing such amazing life ruining stories) but now finally, exams are over, I'm kinda satisfied with my results and I finally got over my bitter I'm-not-interested-in-anything-anymore mood.
and when I was thinking about what product should I review next (I have twenty something products that are still wating for their turn to be reviewed... a though choice right?) One of my friends got me this Jungle Botanics scrub to try.

So according to COSDNA here, this scrub has many good ingredients, but there also some not so safe ones such as Cocamide DEA, which might be irritating to some of you, but I think that it won't do any harm as long as you don't use it on your face. So please keep in mind that this is strictly a body scrub that shouldn't be used on your face, at all.
How to use:
How to use:
1) Squeeze moderate amount of product onto wet skin and massage in circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with water.
2) Recommended use: 2-3 times a week
Packaging:
It comes in a large 250ml squeezable tube which means it's more hygienic than scrubs (or any product) that come in jars, and its glossy beach themed colors only make it more appealing. its hole is large enough to squeeze the the right amount of product, whitout being too large to end up with more product than required.
Scent and texture:When I first opened the tube, I was expecting a strong fake walnuts scent, but was surprised and kinda confused when I was met with a sweet scent that's kinda similar to Argan Oil. Combined with its brownish color and extremely granular texture, it made me think about Moroccan Amlou the whole time I was using it (for my non Moroccan readers, amlou is a spreadable past that is made of Almonds, honey and Argan oil, and it's reaaaaaally yummy)
Performance:
Surprisingly, this scrub's tiny teeny granules did actually scrub my dead cells away while still being gentle on my skin (they absolutely did a better job than those scrubs with large granules, a thing that I didn't expect), it also didn't dry my skin out but instead left it really smooth and soft afterwards thanks to all those vegetable oils included in the ingredients, it also kinda helped with the few spots in my shins where I have keratosis pilaris (don't expect anything miraculous if you have it in large areas, that way you won't be disappointed)
I was also worried that I might need a large quantity of product to scrub my whole body (I was honestly expecting the tube to last for merely a week or two to be honest) but a little amount was more than enough, which is always an added bonus.
Summary
Pros:
- it gets the exfoliation done asap
- Lovely Hygienic packaging
- Leaves my dry skin soft and smooth
- Uses actual walnut granules as its exfoliator
Cons:
- some not so safe ingredients
