Storytime

I had run out of my Palmer's Cocoa Body Scrub and needed a new body scrub before my skin became rough and built up on the area above my elbows but at the back of the arm.  I saw this Garnier product and it was on sale so I thought good enough to try it out and let you guys know if its any good or not.  I am not a user of any Garnier products prior to this body scrub.

This body scrub smells lovely; it reminds me of a warm, sexy amber type scent but it is not overpowering at all.  It is strong enough to smell but it does not linger once rinsed off.  The exfoliating beads contained within the amber coloured gel start to break down and turn into a white lather exfoliating dead skin but moisturising the skin at the same time.  Once rinsed from the skin, it will feel clean and soft, with no residue.  Your skin may feel extra smooth once rinsed but it is not a residue.  I use it with a puffy sponge that you can hang in the shower.  It contains the following:

Argan oil
Almond oil
Macadamia oil
Rose oil
Cupuaçu Seeds
Salicylic Acid
Glycerin
Water
Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Polyethylene
Cocamide Mea
Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Powder
 Fragrance
Sodium Benzoate
Sodium Hydroxide
PPG-5-Ceteth-20
Caramel
Sodium Chloride
Coco Betaine
Citric Acid
Acrylates copolymer

 I really like this product but I don't feel it is a good product to recommend because it contains plastic beads that we know now affects marine animals terribly.  I was under the assumption that the beads had been banned now and I hastily bought this scrub as it was on sale.  Absolutely my bad.  I won't be buying it again and will look for an alternative scrub for the body that does not use the plastic beads.
