Manuka Refining Polish

$26.00

The main challenge in creating this formula (which took literal years) was getting the right consistency for the exfoliants (fine salt + ground walnut shells) and also to keep the polish on your skin instead of the shower floor. I ended up adding a small amount of natural coconut surfactant, providing the smallest amount of lather, and holding the formula against skin while you work it in, allowing time for each ingredient to do its job.

The hero ingredient, manuka honey, is known for its antimicrobial and humectant properties, drawing moisture into the skin and helping to maintain a healthy barrier. Pink Himalayan salt draws out impurities with trace minerals that support healthy skin function. Cold-pressed sunflower oil is high in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, and shea butter (rich in vitamins A and F) soothes, nourishes, and locks in hydration. Helichrysum supports cell renewal, calms inflammation, and pairs perfectly with sweet orange and ylang ylang essential oils.

Manuka Refining Polish is plant-based, clean, gentle, and effective, and leaves your skin soft, smooth, and renewed.

FAQs

  • A: 2–3 times per week is ideal for most skin types. If you have sensitive skin, start with once a week and adjust from there.

  • The formula is plant-based and free of synthetic fragrance, parabens, and harsh chemicals. That said, ground walnut shells are a physical exfoliant and may be too stimulating for very sensitive or reactive skin. We always recommend a patch test before first use.

  • Most users find they don't need to — the combination of shea butter, sunflower oil, and manuka honey leaves skin feeling nourished after rinsing. That said, if your skin tends toward dryness, follow with your usual moisturizer or body oil.

  • Squeeze from the bottom of the tube and work your way up. A tube key makes this even easier and ensures you get every last bit — we recommend adding one to your cart if you don't already have one.

  • As with all the other body care products in our line, this product is formulated with high-quality, face-grade ingredients. It was concepted as a body scrub, but depending on your skin type, could absolutely be used on the face/neck/décolleté. The pink Himalayan salt and walnut shell exfoliants are very fine/gentle, but might be too abrasive for those with sensitive facial skin. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend keeping it below the neck.
