Sweet Papaya Sugar Scrub

Apply a small amount to damp, clean skin. Gently massage in circular motions to exfoliate and remove dead skin. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat skin dry and follow with body lotion or body butter for hydration. Use 1–2 times per week for soft, smooth skin.

The Simply Bella SIB1006 Papaya Sugar Scrub is a creamy exfoliant designed for both the face and body. ingredients include: Natural Sugar Crystals: Provides physical exfoliation to buff away dead skin cells. Papaya Extract/Enzymes: Naturally dissolves dead skin and contains properties intended to fade dark spots and even skin tone. Nourishing Hydrators: The formula is enriched with ingredients to moisturize and refresh the skin's glow during exfoliation. This specific scrub is part of the Simply Bella SIB series, which typically features a base of Shea Butter and natural oils (such as Avocado, Sweet Almond, or Coconut Oil) to ensure the skin remains soft and hydrated after use. For the most accurate list of inactive ingredients or potential allergens (like specific preservatives or fragrance components), check the Simply Bella Cosmetics official product packaging, as these can vary slightly by batch. Beyond the sugar and papaya enzymes found in the Simply Bella scrub, other common exfoliating ingredients fall into two main categories: chemical exfoliants (acids and enzymes) that dissolve dead skin cells, and physical exfoliants (scrubbing agents or tools) that manually buff them away. Tatcha Tatcha +1 Chemical Exfoliants Chemical exfoliants use different types of acids or enzymes to unglue the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily. Goop Goop +1 Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): These are water-soluble and work on the skin's surface to improve texture and tone. Glycolic Acid: Has the smallest molecule size, so it penetrates the most deeply and works quickly, making it very effective for sun-damaged or normal skin, but potentially irritating for sensitive skin. Lactic Acid: A slightly larger, gentler AHA that also helps hydrate the skin, making it suitable for dry or sensitive skin types. Mandelic Acid: One of the largest AHA molecules, making it very gentle and ideal for sensitive skin or those prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs): These are oil-soluble, allowing them to penetrate deep into the pores to clear congestion and control oil production. Salicylic Acid: The most common BHA, highly effective for acne-prone or oily skin due to its ability to break apart the attachments between cells inside the pore. Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs): The gentlest exfoliating acids (e.g., gluconolactone, lactobionic acid) that work primarily on the skin's surface and offer added hydration and antioxidant benefits, perfect for highly sensitive or reactive skin. Fruit Enzymes: Derived from fruits like pineapple (bromelain) and papaya (papain), these offer a non-abrasive way to break down keratin proteins and are suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Physical Exfoliants Physical exfoliants use manual friction to remove dead skin cells and debris from the surface of the skin. Grains and Beads: Sugar and Salt: Varying in coarseness, these natural crystals are common in body scrubs; sugar is generally finer and less abrasive than salt. Jojoba Beads: Tiny, smooth, biodegradable beads that provide a gentle scrubbing action without causing micro-tears in the skin. Oatmeal: Ground oats offer a very mild, soothing exfoliation, ideal for sensitive or irritated skin. Coffee Grounds: Can be effective but may be too rough for delicate facial skin. Tools: Washcloths, Sponges, and Brushes: Manual tools, from simple washcloths to electric facial brushes, can provide physical exfoliation, though pressure must be applied gently to avoid irritation. Pumice: A very hard, abrasive material best used on tough, calloused skin areas like the feet.
