When used as a scrub, the coarse texture of the salt helps to remove dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion. Regular exfoliation can also improve the absorption of other skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin.
When used as a soak, these blends create a relaxing spa-like experience.
This blend was created when my husband asked for something to combat mosquitos, this salt scrub combines dead sea salt, exfoliating ground walnut shells and bug repelling essential oils.

Praise for our parts:
(what folks have to say about our ingredients)
chamomile - aromatic compounds released by chamomile have the potential to deter pests
cedarwood - has insecticidal properties of its own for pest control
citronella - has historically been used for repelling mosquitoes and is currently a registered insect repellent with the EPA
geranium - fresh geranium oil is toxic to mosquitoes and can deter their bites
lemongrass - like citronella, contains citral and citronellal; has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties
peppermint - a 2011 study found that Peppermint oil offered 100% protection against mosquito bites for up to 150 mins when applied topically; is also used to soothe inflammation, irritation and itchiness on skin and scalp
thyme - has mosquito-repellent properties that even surpassed DEET in one study; also helps repel chiggers and ticks
jojoba oil - jojoba oil is renowned for its numerous skin benefits: moisturizing (closely resembles the natural oils produced by our skin, moisturizes without leaving a greasy residue), anti-inflammatory (helps reduce redness and inflammation associated with various skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea), antibacterial (can help fight bacteria on the skin, reducing the risk of acne and other bacterial infections), soothing (beneficial for calming irritated or sunburned skin), anti-aging (antioxidant properties help protect the skin from free radical damage)
grapeseed oil - thanks to its vitamin E and linoleic acid content, grapeseed oil can lighten skin discolorations like acne scars and sunspots; help speed the healing process and decrease the formation of keloid scars (raised, enlarged scarring commonly caused by acne)
calendula flowers - are rich in antioxidant compounds, have anti-inflammatory properties, can reduce sensitivity, soothe irritation, keep skin hydrated and help protect from the effects of UV exposure
