A good coconut cinnamon scrub should leave your skin smooth, not raw. This one buffs away rough, dull skin with sea salt and sugar, then cushions the whole thing with coconut so you rinse off soft instead of stripped. It smells like a Ghana beach day, warm coconut and cinnamon. And because every ingredient is food, you could genuinely eat it off the spoon.

Six ingredients: raw coconut, raw coconut oil, cane sugar, wild northern honey, Ghana sea salt, and raw cinnamon. That’s it.

Why this coconut cinnamon scrub works

• Ghana sea salt and cane sugar are the exfoliants. They lift away dead, dull, rough skin fast, which is what leaves you feeling smooth.
• Raw coconut and coconut oil cushion the scrub so it never feels harsh, and they leave a layer of softness behind after you rinse.
• Wild northern honey adds comfort and helps skin feel calm and moisturised rather than tight.
• Raw cinnamon brings the warmth, that spicy, fresh kick, and it’s especially nice on areas like underarms.

This is a body scrub more than a face treatment. It’s the thing for rough elbows, dry shins, flaky patches, and skin that’s lost its glow. It even works as an underarm scrub to keep that area feeling properly clean.

How to use it

There are two ways, depending on your skin.

For a stronger polish on normal skin:

1. Scoop a dollop onto dry, clean skin. Massage in circles for 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Add a little water as you go until it turns to a paste, then leave it 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Rinse well. Use 2 to 3 times a week.

For sensitive skin, go gentler: wet your skin first, massage a dollop in lightly, leave 5 to 10 minutes, rinse. Same 2 to 3 times a week.

Because there are no preservatives, keep water and fingers out of the jar. Use a clean, dry spoon and store it somewhere cool.

The best part: it’s actually food

This isn’t “edible” as a marketing wink. It’s a real edible scrub, no External Use Only tag, made entirely from things you’d find in a kitchen. Coconut, cinnamon, honey, sugar, salt. People spread it on toast, spoon it over ice cream, or bake it into cookies for a coconut-cinnamon finish. That’s the whole Skin Gourmet idea in one jar: if it’s good enough to eat, it’s good enough for your skin. Dare you to taste it.
