Avocado Oil is a key moisturizing ingredient: helps nourish and smooth the skin.
Perfect Trust Beauty
There’s a version that also contains ceramides, further helping skin barrier repair / hydration.
According to the brand, it’s paraben-free, phthalate-free, cruelty-free, and vegan (at least for the ceramide + avocado version).
Designed to be used in the bath or shower, but can also work as a hand scrub.
Ingredients & Function (based on available info)
Some of the important ingredients / what they do:
Sucrose: The sugar crystals that provide the exfoliation.
Glycerin / Sorbitol: Humectants to help retain moisture. Silica: Helps give some scrub “grit” / texture
Shea Butter: Deeply moisturizing, helps soften skin.
Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil: Rich oil that nourishes the skin.
Ceramides (in some versions): Helps strengthen the skin barrier.
Coconut Oil: Additional emollient / moisturizing oil.
Fragrance / Parfum: To give the scrub a scent. (Check for sensitivity.)
Preservatives: E.g. phenoxyethanol. (Common in scrubs.)
Benefits / What It’s Good For
Exfoliation: The sugar crystals help remove dead skin, leaving skin smoother.
Hydration: Thanks to shea butter and avocado oil, this is not just scrub — it also moisturizes.
Skin Softening: Makes skin feel soft and supple after use.
Barrier Support: The ceramide version is especially good for reinforcing the skin’s barrier / reducing dryness.
Versatility: Can be used in shower, bath, or even as a hand scrub.
Good for Dry / Rough Areas: Especially helpful on elbows, knees, heels, or generally dry skin.
Things to Be Careful About / Potential Downsides
Over-Exfoliation: Using too often or scrubbing too hard can irritate skin.
Grittiness: As with any sugar scrub, the sugar can be quite grainy — not ideal if your skin is very sensitive.
Oiliness / Slipperiness: Because of the oils (avocado & shea), the scrub can feel slippery, which might be tricky in the shower.
Fragrance: Might irritate very sensitive or fragrance-sensitive skin.
Not for Broken Skin: Avoid on cuts, wounds, or very inflamed skin
How to Use
Wet your skin (in the shower or bath).
Scoop a small amount of the scrub.
Massage gently in circular motions — focus on rough or dry areas.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Pat skin dry and apply a moisturizer afterward (because scrubs remove dead skin but don’t lock in moisture completely).
Use 2–3 times a week (or less) depending on how sensitive your skin is.
