Body Scrubs
Discover American-made body scrubs for exfoliating hands, feet and body. Browse sugar scrubs, salt-based exfoliating blends and other rinse-off formulas with different textures, scents and conditioning oils.
Origin and Cosmetic Claims
A scrub's exfoliating texture should not be equated with medical results. See the FDA guidance distinguishing cosmetics and drugs. Verify country-of-origin details on the product page; American-based companies can use both domestic and imported ingredients. The FTC Made in USA standard explains the differences.
Sugar Scrubs, Salt Scrubs and Exfoliating Formulas
Sugar scrubs use granules for physical exfoliation and may blend sugar with oils, fragrance or other ingredients. Salt scrubs use mineral salts, which can have a different texture and may sting on recently shaved or irritated skin. Read each product's recommended body areas and frequency rather than assuming every scrub is interchangeable.
For bath additives rather than direct exfoliation, explore Bath Salts & Soaks. Follow with Lotions & Body Butters as directed by the product maker.
How to Select a Body Scrub
- Exfoliant: Sugar, salt or another named physical exfoliating ingredient.
- Texture: Fine or coarse grains and whether the formula includes oils.
- Application: Hands, feet, legs or body as labeled.
- Fragrance: Consider unscented choices and possible sensitivities.
- Cleanup: Oil-based products may leave tubs or shower floors slippery.
Avoid aggressive scrubbing or use on broken or visibly irritated skin. For face-only products, browse Face Care instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I use a body scrub?
Follow the maker’s instructions and adjust for how your skin responds; more frequent exfoliation is not automatically better.
Can body scrubs be used on the face?
Only when specifically labeled for facial use; many body scrubs are too coarse for the face.
Do sugar scrubs contain oils?
Many do, but formulas vary. Check the listed ingredients and rinse instructions.
