Organic Apple Body Scrub (100% Pure)

Rating: 9/10
Cost: $22 for 13 oz.
Notes: Makes my skin so soft!
Repurchase? Yes.

My dismay at Lush's use of parabens in their Ocean Salt Cleanser left me disappointed.  When I got home, I realized I had this scrub from 100% Pure that I hadn't yet tested.  As I began to scrub, it didn't feel as harsh as the Lush scrub.  Instead, it almost felt like the crystals were eventually melting into my skin, and after a few minutes I had nothing left to scrub with.  (After several uses I'm still not sure if the crystals really are melting, or if they are just falling off.)  When I couldn't feel any more graininess, I washed my hands and was amazed at the results.  Amazed.  My hands looked just as good as the Lush scrub made them feel, but they also felt super moisturized.  This scrub has a ton of oil, so I didn't feel any dryness at all.  I didn't even feel like I needed any lotion afterwards!

I've since used it in the shower on my feet, and continue to use it on my hands and any place that needs a little extra TLC.  I love it!  The fresh apple scent is apparent as soon as you open the jar (I use a little spoon to get it out--I always have to mix it beforehand), but doesn't linger for too long on the skin.  The only reason I gave it a 9/10 instead of a 10/10 is because it makes my tub very slippery after I use it.  (Probably all the oils.)  Not a big problem, but just enough to take off one point.

On a side note, I noticed 100% Pure just reformulated their scrubs, so I'm not sure how much longer these old ones are going to be available for.  Once I try the new formula, I'll be sure to post a review!
