Most “intense” exfoliating scrubs rely on plastic microbeads or Sodium Laureth Sulfate to deliver a deep-clean feel — both now recognized as environmentally harmful and skin-irritating shortcuts. Herbal Choice Mari’s Intense Exfoliation Facial Scrub gets its stronger grit from organic brown sugar, grape seed powder, and natural sea salt instead.

How Herbal Choice Mari Intense Facial Scrub Works for Deep Pore Cleansing

Organic brown sugar crystals and natural sea salt provide a coarser texture than gentler scrubs, physically lifting rough, dry skin and deep-cleansing pores. Organic grape seed powder adds antioxidant protection during the process. Kaolin clay draws out impurities while organic shea butter and olive oil keep the stronger grit from over-stripping skin.

Ideal For

• Rough, dry, or congested skin needing a stronger exfoliation
• Anyone avoiding plastic microbeads and their environmental impact
• Deep pore cleansing before a mask or treatment serum
• Vegan and vegetarian shoppers avoiding animal-derived exfoliants
• Weekly (not daily) use as an intensive treatment step

The Detox Note: What to Expect in the First Few Uses

Because this scrub is intentionally coarser than a gentle daily exfoliant, skin may feel more stimulated or slightly pink right after use, that’s the mechanical action, not irritation, as long as it fades within minutes. Avoid the eye area and limit use to once weekly.

How to Use

Apply a dime-sized amount and gently massage the skin, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Exfoliate at least once a week for best results.
