{"product_id":"galaxy-sugar-scrub","title":"Galaxy Sugar Scrub with Himalayan Salt and Shea","description":"\u003cp\u003eHimalayan sea salt is the first ingredient in this jar, ahead of the sugar and ahead of every butter. AMINNAH publishes that list on its wholesale listings even though the name says sugar, and it matters more than any scent note would. \u003cstrong\u003eSalt and sugar do not exfoliate the same way, and this is the only jar here that uses both.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSalt leads the ingredient list.\u003c\/strong\u003e Himalayan sea salt is printed at position one on the label.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA harder, longer-lasting grit.\u003c\/strong\u003e Salt keeps its edges where sugar softens and gives way.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAloe vera gel in the base.\u003c\/strong\u003e Alongside four fats, jojoba oil and vitamin E.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSalt Behaves Nothing Like Sugar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSugar is soluble in water at skin temperature and starts dissolving the moment it meets a wet arm, which is why a sugar scrub grows gentler the longer you work it. Salt crystals hold their shape far longer and keep their edges sharp. \u003cstrong\u003eYou get more mechanical exfoliation per minute here than from any other jar in this range\u003c\/strong\u003e, and you need less time to get it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere That Extra Bite Is Worth Having\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeels, elbows, knees and the outsides of the upper arms build up texture that a soft grain never quite clears. This is the jar for those places. Work it in short circles rather than long strokes and stop when the skin feels smooth rather than when the grit runs out, because with salt the grit outlasts your patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFour Fats Sit Under The Grain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShea, mango, coco butter and coconut oil with jojoba oil, aloe vera gel and vitamin E. That matters more with a hard grain than a soft one, because a coarse exfoliant takes more of the surface film with it. \u003cstrong\u003eThe fats are what stop a salt scrub leaving skin tight instead of smooth\u003c\/strong\u003e, so rinse rather than scrub them away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNot The One For Freshly Shaved Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalt in an open shaving nick stings in a way sugar does not, and a coarse grain on skin you have just shaved is asking for irritation. Leave a day between the two. \u003cstrong\u003eThe same hardness that makes this effective on heels makes it the wrong choice on the chest, the neck and anywhere thin.\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a softer grain for those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions About Galaxy Sugar Scrub\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a salt scrub or a sugar scrub?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both.
