Love it - Favorite One - Right now
This is my favorite body scrub.  The sugar chamomile one.  I have tried a lot of different ones.  One years ago that is no longer on the market was my absolute favorite, which is why this only gets 4 stars.  I did get a bad batch recently, which I attribute to either sitting too long in some warehouse or supply chain issues.  It has been a little tough to find.<br /><br />I have very sensitive skin & even worse allergies & this does not break me out or set off my allergies.  When properly mixed & emulsified, it’s great.  It works on my skin the way I want it to.  It doesn’t dry my skin out or make it sticky, oily or itchy/flakey.  It also doesn’t destroy my shower/tub.  It washes politely & completely down the drain & doesn’t stain or send grit everywhere.  There is no remaining residue on my skin or my surroundings.<br /><br />I don’t love the smell.  It’s a mostly pleasant natural smell, but it took some getting used to.  In my opinion, it’s way better than the other 2 products this company makes in this category.  They reek to high heaven & make a terrible mess.  I still regret using the pink-salt one, the perfume was too strong & awful.  The grit was too strong & stained the silicone sealant on my tub.  It’s still there.<br /><br />I like this one for all the previously stated reasons, but I don’t love the smell or the tube.  The seal on all of there products is strong, which is great for assurances, safety & transport, but it’s also tiny & a bitch to get off in the shower.  So, don’t forget to take it off 1st, the way I sometimes do.  I usually have to use my teeth & you know how that goes… yeah.  The bottle could be a little bigger too.  I don’t know what sizing the product would cost, but it would be nice for the consumer.  Also, the last inch or 2 of product, in the tube doesn’t always come out.  Again it’s the tube’s design & they all work that way.  It’s VERY annoying.  If they would make the inner nozzle/outlet a little bigger & the “top” a steeper pitch, it would be 100% better.  Work with gravity & let me use all the product I pay for please (especially at these prices)!  Thanks!<br /><br />Anyway, this is currently my go to scrub.  I don’t usually use it on my face, but I have been considering trying it on my scalp, it seems gentle enough.  And it dissolves enough.  I will add to this review if I do.  I have been able to find this product at Sprouts, grocery store as well as on Amazon.  I think I have seen it at Natural Grocers & Whole Foods too, but it’s been since before COVID, so not sure.  I have never seen a sample product, but if you can find them, I would suggest trying all of them that way - if that works for your needs - before you buy.  Depending on quality, which has been wonky the last 3 tubes, I get between 3-9 showers out of 1 tube.  The better blended it is, the closer to 6 showers it is.  I tend to use a lot.  I am generous & I use it on most of my body.  I do really like this stuff & can say I would recommend it to someone I know, whose skin care I know about, given the opportunity.  It is a natural product, if you are allergic to chamomile tea, do not use this product, ever.  If not, it’s, in my opinion, one of the nicest body scrub products out there.  I like a lot of Desert Essence products.
