If you’ve been to an organic grocery lately, you probably know the antioxidant-rich Açaí is a Brazilian super-berry that is considered one of the healthiest fruits in existence.
What you may not know is that the oil derived from it has those same powerful antioxidants, and works to protects and rejuvenate the skin.
Fresh Sugar Açaí Body Scrub takes advantage of this oil and mixes it with a blend of cupuaçu seed butter, jojoba seed oil, and meadowfoam seed.
The result: My skin is super soft and silky, and probably pretty darn healthy, too!
