The latest multifunctional ingredient to hit beauty shelves is bamboo.
Not only can it be used to make the packaging for your favorite products, but itโs now being used IN them, too. And it can be harvested and replenished with a very small impact on the environment, making it a wonderfully sustainable and eco-friendly material.
With the ability to soften skin, grow lashes and even out skin tone, bamboo is used in a variety of beautiful ways.

This deeply exfoliating Bamboo Scrub combines sparkling notes of Lemongrass with exotic and seductive florals of Mimosa, Jasmine and Ylang Ylang to remove dull, dry skin. This is one of my favorite scrubs. It’s pretty intense, so if you’re a scrub newbie, don’t try it! I like scrubs that actually get in there and get the job done and this one does just that. It’s amazing and leaves my skin so soft and smooth. It’s amazing and worth every penny.
