You’ve probably tried a body scrub before—and maybe it left your skin red, tight, or even flaky. For sensitive skin, traditional physical exfoliants can feel like a betrayal. In fact, over 68% of users report irritation after using standard scrubs, especially those with compromised skin barriers.
Harsh microbeads, rough particles, and aggressive rubbing damage the lipid barrier—the skin’s natural defense. Once broken, moisture escapes and irritants enter easily. That’s why many brands now avoid synthetic abrasives entirely.
Enter sea salt crystals—naturally gentle yet effective. Unlike plastic beads or walnut shells, sea salt dissolves slightly upon contact with moisture, creating a soft, friction-based exfoliation that targets dead cells without trauma. Studies show this method reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by up to 30% compared to conventional scrubs.
But here’s where it gets smarter: combining sea salt with green tea extract isn’t just marketing—it’s science. Green tea is rich in catechins, particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which has been shown to reduce inflammation by up to 45% in clinical trials. This means less redness, fewer stinging sensations, and faster recovery post-exfoliation.
Ingredient | Function | Clinical Benefit |
---|---|---|
Sea Salt Granules | Mild mechanical exfoliation | Reduces TEWL by ~30% |
Green Tea Extract | Anti-inflammatory & antioxidant | Lowers irritation by ~45% |
Vitamin E | Skin barrier repair | Improves hydration retention by 25% |
And yes—coffee bean oil (with caffeine) boosts lymphatic drainage and metabolism, helping lift dullness. When combined, these ingredients create a multi-action formula that doesn’t just clean but also nourishes and protects.
Even the best formula needs smart use. For sensitive skin, we recommend 1–2 times per week—not daily. Always apply with light circular motions, never scrub hard. And always follow with a rich moisturizer containing ceramides or hyaluronic acid.
When sourcing for B2B partners or launching into premium markets, look beyond labels. Our product complies with ISO 22716 (Good Manufacturing Practices for Cosmetics) and GMP standards, ensuring consistent quality, microbial safety, and stability—even in humid climates like Southeast Asia or the Middle East.
If you're a beauty brand, spa supplier, or OEM/ODM partner looking for safe, scalable solutions for sensitive skin markets—this is your starting point.
