Alba Botanica Sea Salt Body Scrub Review
Alba Botanica is a maker of many fine natural and organic skin care products including Alba Botanica's Sea Salt Body Scrub. Today I will do a quick review of this product.
Pricing
A retail price ranging from $9-$12, Alba Botanica's Sea Salt Body Scrub is an affordable option. Sold all over the web an in store around the country such as Whole Foods Market, you will not have a hard time locating this product.
Alba Botanica Sea Salt Scrub Size
The scrubs I am using come in a 14.5 ounce package.
Sea Salt Body Scrub Ingredients
From Alba'a website we find the ingredients are as follows: Certified organic sunflower (helianthus annuus), kukui nut (aleurites moluccana), macademia ternifolia, sweet almond (prunus amygdalus dulcis), jojoba (simmondsia chinensis) and wheat germ oil (triticum vulgare), organic sea salt, olive squalane (olea europaea), vanilla planifolia extract, tocopherol (vitamin E), polysorbate, beta carotene, and citrus essential oils.
My favorite ingredient would have to include the sweet almond oil. Almond oil has many known medical benefits including working well on really dry skin.
Recommended Use of the Body Scrub
Apply liberally in the shower or bath, using gentle circular motion. Avoid face and delicate eye areas. Rinse thoroughly. The addition I would add to this is to work on areas of the body that could use ex foliation including the knees, elbows and back.
My recommendation for Alba Botanica
A great product with great packaging, what more can you say? I recommend this product for people who are knew to sea salt body scrubs. This scrub serves as a great starter scrub while you are looking into your favorite fragrance and or oil consistency. Made for the masses Alba Botanica Sea Salt Body Scrub has done a real good job of mixing natural ingredients with organic mixtures. After using this product for one week I have found that the greatest feature is the coarseness of the sea salt. While not packed full of nutrients like dead sea salt body scrubs, Alba Botanica has done a great job bringing this product to market.
Alba Botanica offers many body scrubs including the sea salt, the sugar and the Hawaiian Sea Salt Body Scrub to name a few.

How to Make Sea Salt Body Scrub
Are you interested in learning how to make your own sea salt body scrub?
First let's get some things related to creating your own sea salt scrub out of the way. First, if you are looking to make a Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub, this is not the page for you. I intend to create one of these pages soon, but for now Dead Sea Salt would cost too much money for the scope of this quick tutorial.
Second, before you begin creating a sea salt body scrub, it is a good idea to know what frangrance you want to add to your scrub for the purposes of achevieing aromotherapy. Whether you choose an articifical or natural scent is up to you, but know there are benefits and downsides to each. Specifically the naturalist will let you know that you should not add any artificial substance to your sea salt body scrub. While the capitalist will tell you that natural scents can be cost prohibitive and not give you any scientifically proven benefits. The decision as to how you will scent your scrub is up to you, I just want you to consider which scent works best for your sea salt body scrub.
Lastly, making your own body scrub can be a great way to release creative energies and save money on expensive store made sea salt body scrubs. It is also a way for you to take your skin care into your own hands and out of those whose primary goal is profits and not your skin's health.
Mastering your Sea Salt Body Scrub Receipe
The basis of any scub will begin with the recipe. Listen people, this is not rocket science. Keeping this simple you will find that the basic ingredients are sea salt crystals, oil and fragrance. There are other addtives you can add for effect and consistency smoothing, but the basic receipe is all you will need.
The general body scrub recipe is to mix sea salt with an oil. You can find course sea salt at the grocery store, but I would recommend that the oil mixture come from a drugstore or a specialty/natural cosmetic making supply store. There are several of these stores easily found on the web, if you live in a rural area. You want to mix these together so that the salt is deeply saturated, but not soaked with the oil mixture.
Next you will look to add a fragrance to the mix. As mentioned above, some artifical scents may cause your body to have adverse effects, so never try your homemade mixture on your skin without testing it on a small portion of your skin, preferably a small section of a leg and arm.
Body Scrub Oils
The oil you select will have different properties, based on where it is derived from. Consider matching your oil based on your skin care needs and choose to use one because it is good for dry skin, or because it can help repair skin that has been damaged.
Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, Olive Oils are just a few of the types oils you can use. I have found coconut oil to work well for eczcema, as well as Neem Oil, but be careful as Neem as a distinct frangrance all to itself. I know it works, simply because of the strong odor it emits. :)
Lastly, do not be afraid to experiment. The ingredients you are using are natural for the most part. Mixing natural oils and scents and salts can be fun, and a great gift to give away during the holidays, weddings and special occassions.
I hope you enjoyed my lesson on how to make sea salt body scrub.

Dead Sea Salt Scrub
What is Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub?
In the skin care industry, there are sea salt body scrubs and then there is the Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub. The Dead Sea, located in Israel is a Sea known the world over. The mineral content of the Dead Sea is very different from that of ocean water. The exact composition of the Dead Sea water varies mainly with season, depth and temperature.
Fountain of Youth for Skin
Some people specifically cleanse their skin in the Dead Sea because of its abnormally high level of mineral concentrations, not found on any other place in the world. Some people bath in the Dead Sea to receive a sort of organic dead sea salt body scrub. Sufferers of the skin disorder psoriasis also benefit from the ability to sunbathe for long periods in the area due to its position below sea level and subsequent result that many of the sun's harmful UV rays are reduced.

These natural minerals include Magnesium, Potassium, Bromine, Calcium Chloride and Sodium, all vital to a youthful and healthy looking skin. All these minerals are present in genuine Dead Sea Salt Body Scrubs at concentration levels ten times higher than any other ocean or sea on the planet! That is why salt scrubs which are made specifically using bath salts made with Dead Sea minerals are so popular and effective. They combine the exfoliating and cleansing effect of using a salt scrub with the high concentration of essential skin care minerals present in The Dead Sea.

Sea Salt Body Scrub
Sea salt body scrub are all the rage today and it's no wonder why. Minerals from the salt exfoliates your skin, while it also nourishes, soothes, tones, and vitamin C relaxes. Especially useful on extra-rough areas like knees and elbows.
Have you ever taken your body to the ocean and had your skin come out feeling refreshed or rejuvenated? That rejuvenation occurs because the salt in the sea has special effects on your skin. Consider most people from islands nations. Have you ever noticed how smooth their skin is. I can pinpoint this to two distinct reasons. First their diet usually consist of higher concentration of seafood. Secondly their bodies are in direct contact with the sea salt of the ocean water or ocean air at a much higher exposure than people in the United States of America.
Sea salt scrubs have been proven to relieve skin ailments such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. Minerals such as sodium, magnesium, potassium, enhance your skin's natural ability to retain moisture, making it smooth and healthy.
What are the ingredients of sea salt scrubs?
Sea Salt Body Scrub Ingredients
Sea salts usually are combined with oils, minerals and fragrances. Most scrubs combine Dead Sea Salt Minerals with 5 natural Oils: Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil, Sesame Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, & Olive Oil. Rich in Vitamin A, C, D, E & B12 as well as 27 Minerals found in the Dead Sea Salt & Aloe Vera. This combination of oils and salt revitalizes your skin, prevents premature aging, when gently massaged into the Body, dead skin cells are immediately removed, leaving your skin soft & refresh.
Other ingredients you may find in sea salt scrubs: Sunflower Oil, Dead Sea Salt, Behentrimonium Methosulfate (and) Cetearyl Alcohol, Shea Butter, Apricot Oil, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, Squalene, Essential Oil, Fragrance, Germall Plus and endless amounts of fragrances including nutmeg, jasmine, cinnamon, lavender, coconut, almond, apple, lemon and rose.
How to use Sea Salt Body Scrub
On moist skin massage the salt and oil in a circularly motions until the oil is completely absorbed into the skin. Pay special attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees, feet, and other cellulite-prone areas, gently remove the remaining salt with running water. Usually the scrub is recommended for use–once a week for keeping your skin fresh and smooth.
Benefits of Smoother Skin
If you are a man, women love smoother skin. But not too smooth, so consider using the scrubs on your feet, elbows and knees. Women tend to love rough hands and hands that are too smooth may give out signals that you do not want your woman to experience with you. So the key, smooth bodies, with rugged hands.
If you are a woman, the benefits of using a natural scrub are easily apparent. While most men will love you despite your outward skin features, paying attention to detail is what separates the fancy women, from the basic women. Exfoliation is a basic skin care tactic that most women use and should be in your weekly ritual as well.
More Sea Salt Body Scrub Features

* Rich, and very creamy exfoliating complex
