Neroli & Vanilla Body Polish
An emulsified exfoliating treatment to deeply replenish, smooth, and restore the body.
Deep exfoliation is the heart of the hammam. For generations, Maghrebi women have relied on the traditional kessa mitt to thoroughly renew the skin, a powerful, vigorous practice.
The Neroli & Vanilla Body Polish carries that same restorative intention, reimagined for a gentler touch. Crafted with fine organic sugar that dissolves as it smooths, this concentrated, waterless formula delivers the deep renewal of the hammam without the harsh friction, micro-tears, or irritation of a traditional scrub. Skin-mimicking botanicals like sweet almond oil, jojoba, and olive-derived squalane leave skin soft, deeply hydrated, and velvety—never greasy.
The Scent
Bright and honeyed. Delicate neroli and sun-drenched sweet orange open with a fresh floral brightness, settling into the warm softness of vanilla and a whisper of benzoin resin. It is a fragrance designed to linger after the steam clears.
Key Benefits
-
Exfoliate & Renew: Fine organic cane sugar crystals melt into the skin as they work, gently buffing away dead skin cells to reveal a smooth surface.
-
Deep Hydration: A blend of cold-pressed oils—sweet almond, jojoba, and olive-derived squalane—leaves behind a light, protective veil that locks in moisture without feeling greasy.
-
Silken Emulsion & Velvet Finish: Olive-derived emulsifiers transform the scrub into a cleansing milk upon contact with water, while arrowroot powder ensures a non-greasy, velvety finish.
Suitable For:
- Skin Concerns: Rough texture, strawberry skin, lack of radiance, dryness, and post-shave sensitivity.
- Skin Type: Formulated for all skin types, especially dry, dull, or dehydrated skin.
The Ritual
Use the provided scoop to apply your desired amount to damp skin, stepping away from the direct stream of water. Massage in slow, circular motions—with intention, without harsh pressure—allowing the sugar to smooth while the botanical oils nourish. Introduce a splash of water to transform the polish into a silken cleansing milk, then rinse and softly pat dry to seal in moisture.
To protect your waterless polish, keep the jar tightly closed and avoid getting water inside the container.
For best results, use 2–3 times per week.
