• Apricot Kernels – Finely ground apricot kernels act as natural exfoliating particles and mechanically remove dead skin flakes. Rough areas are smoothed, the skin texture appears finer, and the skin feels immediately softer and more supple.
• Almond, Olive & Sunflower Oil – The high-quality plant oils provide the skin with nourishing lipids during exfoliation. They help counteract dryness, preserve suppleness, and leave the skin feeling pleasantly nourished after rinsing.
• Aloe Vera & Prickly Pear – Aloe vera provides moisture and soothes, while the antioxidant prickly pear extract complements skin care. Together, they support balanced, supple skin and counteract dryness during exfoliation.
• hay flowers, Swiss stone pine, fir, rosemary & chamomile – The alpine plant complex combines traditional herbs with aromatic plant oils. It complements the scrub with a fresh, green herbal scent and transforms the application into a soothing care ritual for skin and senses.
  

We find the scrub particularly suitable as a small spa ritual before body care: It removes dry skin flakes and prepares the skin optimally for subsequent care products such as Velvety Rich Body Cream ahead.

Active ingredients

• Almond oil / sweet almond oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis / Sweet Almond Oil) is gentle and well suited to caring for sensitive skin. Almond oil soothes irritation, replenishes lipids and helps retain moisture. Dry, irritated and mature skin benefits especially. Almond oil leaves the skin soft and supple and is also ideal for hair care. Vitamins and the high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic acid) strengthen the skin barrier and provide protection.
• Prickly pear extract (Opuntia Ficus-Indica Extract / Prickly Pear) is rich in vitamins, proteins, minerals, and fatty acids. It has exceptionally good water-binding properties and protects the skin from oxidative stress. Due to its firming properties, some people refer to it as an alternative to Botox.
• Rosemary extract (Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract) – This medicinal plant from the Mediterranean region promotes circulation and has a mild antibacterial effect. Mature skin benefits from its circulation-promoting properties. Rosemary can help restore balance to blemished skin.
• Hay flower extract (Grass-Hay Herb Extract) contains a natural variety of meadow herbs, blossoms, and grasses. It promotes circulation, relaxes muscles, and supports skin regeneration. It is particularly beneficial when combined with warmth. Ideal for relaxation and revitalization.
• Astringent, regenerating, healing, and antiseptic, the essential oil of bergamot (Citrus Aurantium Bergamia) is excellent for treating skin problems such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis. It regulates sebum production, supports wound healing, and promotes the regeneration of skin cells. Bergamot invigorates and refreshes, with a citrusy yet spicy fragrance and a distinctive character, like an “Italian spring morning after the rain.” Bergamot originated from a cross between bitter orange and lime.
• Extract of true or Roman chamomile (Chamomilla Recutita Matricaria Extract / Anthemis Nobilis Flower) has a soothing, relaxing, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing effect. Blemished skin benefits from its clarifying properties. Extracts of the plant stimulate the skin’s metabolism and promote cell regeneration. Very suitable for sensitive skin. Stressed scalps also benefit from its disinfecting and soothing properties, which support hair growth.

FAQ

Which skin types is the Alpine Herbs Body Scrub suitable for?
The body scrub is suitable for all skin types and is particularly beneficial for dry, rough, or somewhat dull skin. For very sensitive skin or skin that reacts to essential oils, we recommend first testing it on a small area because it contains aromatic plant oils.

How often should I use the Alpine Herbs Body Scrub?
Depending on your skin type and condition, we recommend using it approximately once or twice a week. For dry or sensitive skin, once a week is often sufficient.

Does the scrub contain microplastics?
No. Finely ground apricot kernels are used for the exfoliating effect. They mechanically remove dead skin flakes and smooth the skin's surface.

Why should I moisturize my skin after exfoliating?
After exfoliation, the skin is free of excess flakes and ideally prepared for further body care. A body cream or body oil can then be applied particularly pleasantly and helps keep the skin soft and supple.

What does the Alpine Herbs Body Scrub smell like?
The fragrance is fresh, green, and distinctly characterized by alpine herbs. Swiss pine, fir, rosemary, hay, bergamot, and lavandin give the scrub its characteristic spa character.
