Art NaturalsArabica Coffee Scrub, 567 g

I have noticed a significant change in my skin since I started using this product. It smells wonderful and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. I will continue to use it.

So I love ArtNaturals brand products and I use them all the time, but I opened this jar and was immediately put off because it wasn't sealed! The jar wasn't shrink wrapped and their was no inner seal. I thought this must be tampered with and almost didn't try it. But I did.The smell is divine if you love the smell of coffee. Its very intense and maybe not for everyone. This scrub contains both coffee and salts and exfoliates really well. Its great for problem areas like heels, elbows and knees and dry hands. It left my skin very smooth, but its not a gentle scrub by any means. Might be too much for some.What I don't like about this scrub is the dryness. There are plant-derived oils in this blend, but the overall product is difficult to get out of the jar and spread because it so dry. It crumbles into the tub the minute you pick it up. Either there aren't enough oils added or maybe its dried out due to the lack of an airtight seal. Someone suggested that maybe everything settled to the bottom, so I tried getting in there and moving the salts around to try to stir it up, but it still seems very dry to me. While the immediate exfoliating effect is good, it doesn't really leave your skin hydrated, so I feel the need to moisturize afterward. I think I would like this a whole lot better if the consistency was better and it left my skin more hydrated.

This has a great coffee smell and a very gritty texture and provides a really great scrub. It didn't irritate my skin and I'd say I have pretty sensitive skin. I easily break out into hives usually but didn't have any issues with this. I had shaved my legs the day prior and did feel a little irritation so definitely keep that in mind before use. It also leaves the shower a bit of a mess so you'll need to make sure you rinse off after (didn't leave any stains tho).

When they say that this coffee scrub smells like coffee, they are not kidding. Of course that is not surprising since coffee arabica seed powder is the third ingredient listed. The first two are sea salt, then jojoba seed oil.Please note, I am going to base this review on what it says on the jar of the product. The ingredients listed on the container are entirely different than the ingredients listed on the product page. So, according to the actual container, this scrub contains four plant-derived oils, salt, coffee, and some calming ingredients like glycerin, vitamin e and Allantoin.Not a bad formula in my view. If you like the smell of coffee, and you better because it's strong, this looks like a good exfoliating recipe.Just know that once you're in the shower you need to dig deep into this jar because all the oils have settled at the bottom and the top is very dry. This is normal with scrub containing exfoliating ingredients and oils, they will separate.I am not going to call this scrub harsh but if you have sensitive skin, this may not be for you. I used it mainly on knees, elbows and feet and it did a good job. It actually felt pretty nice and left the parts where I used it much softer. Easy to rinse away, also.Even with all the oils in it, my skin felt a bit dry a half hour after the shower, so it does require lots of moisturizing afterward.The coffee aroma was a bit intense for me but it did get the job done and seems a good value for the $11.98 being asked (at time of this review). Would I buy it again? Most likely not, but I would try it again in a different fragrance.

I have purchased this repeatedly for a few years now. I recently ordered two more, and this is wildly different than it used to be. The smell is awful, it is not as moisturizing. I compared the back of the packaging and the ingredients are completely different. I will not buy this again. So disappointed.
