The selection uses two primary exfoliant bases: sugar-based scrubs (labelled as "Shea Sugar" or listing real sugar) and salt-based scrubs made with salts such as Pink Himalayan salt and/or Epsom salt.
Many listings recommend normal and combination skin. Depending on the formulation, some products also list dry, sensitive, oily and mature skin as suitable.
Common cautions note that the product can be an eye irritant and advise keeping it out of reach of children.
Common net weights in this selection are 12 ounces, 16 ounces and 18 ounces, with most products falling in the 12–18 oz range.
Reviews and descriptions say sugar scrubs use fine, dissolvable sugar that polishes the skin, while salt/Epsom scrubs have a grittier, thicker salt texture that provides stronger exfoliation.
