French Body Scrub 100 ml

The French Body Scrub by ODEN shows how exciting regional raw materials can become in a well-crafted formulation. Instead of sugar or synthetic exfoliating particles, finely ground shell powder from Brittany provides mechanical exfoliation. Pink clay complements the cleansing action, while olive oil, sunflower oil, and beeswax prevent the skin from feeling dry or stripped after exfoliation.

• Product type: mechanical, nourishing body scrub
• Skin type: suitable for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin
• Effect: removes dead skin cells, smooths rough areas, and refines the skin’s feel
• Care: plant oils and beeswax preserve suppleness and counteract a dry feeling after exfoliation
• Exfoliating particles: finely ground shell powder from Brittany and sand
• Key active ingredients: pink clay, French olive and sunflower oils, beeswax, and vitamin E
• Texture & fragrance: firm, melting texture with a delicate orange blossom fragrance
• Quality: 100% of natural origin and made in France

The shells are hand-collected on the beaches of the Breton coast and then finely ground. This creates an exceptional natural exfoliant that removes dead skin cells and smooths rough areas on the legs, knees, elbows, or heels.

What makes it especially pleasant is the firm yet melting texture: when massaged in, it combines thorough exfoliation with rich oil care. After rinsing, the skin feels not only smoother but also soft and pleasantly nourished. The delicate orange blossom fragrance turns application into a small body-care ritual.

Key ingredients

• Breton shell powder & sand form the formulation’s natural exfoliating system. The fine mineral particles mechanically remove dead skin cells and smooth rough, uneven-looking skin – especially pleasantly on the legs, knees, elbows, and heels.
• Pink clay from kaolin & illite complements the scrub with a gentle cleansing effect. The fine mineral clays absorb excess residue from the skin’s surface and help create a smoother, fresher, and more even-looking complexion.
• French olive oil adds rich plant lipids to the formula. It cares for dry and rough skin, supports its natural protective barrier, and ensures that the scrub feels pleasantly nourishing despite its thorough exfoliation.
• French sunflower oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and helps the skin retain moisture. It provides suppleness and contributes to a soft skin feel after rinsing.
• Beeswax & vitamin E complete the care. Beeswax forms a fine protective film and helps keep the skin supple, while vitamin E adds antioxidant protection to the formulation.

How to use

Once or twice a week, apply a small amount to dry or damp body skin and massage in circular motions. Then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

On damp skin, the scrub glides more easily and works more gently – a good choice for sensitive or rather dry skin. On dry skin, the exfoliating effect is more intense.

Concentrate especially on rough areas such as the elbows, knees, legs, and heels. Do not use on irritated, inflamed, or sunburned skin.

Afterward, apply a body oil or body lotion if desired.

Use within 6 months after opening. For external use only.

About ODEN

ODEN places the botanical diversity of France at the heart of modern skincare. The independent French brand combines regional plants and raw materials with deliberately streamlined formulations and production in France.

Founder Marion Weber runs ODEN together with her mother Laurence, an agronomist and plant expert. A network of French farmers and producers supplies numerous plants, seeds, and fruits directly from various regions of France.

It is not only about short supply chains, but also about the quality and origin of the raw materials. Plant oils are gently extracted, distinctive regional resources are rediscovered, and the products are made in small batches.

The French Body Scrub captures this idea particularly well: shells from the Breton coast meet French plant oils to create body care that is at once uncomplicated, sensuous, and extraordinary.
