What It Is

This foaming exfoliating scrub pairs finely milled bamboo and walnut shell powder with a peptide, antioxidant, and hydration complex, smoothing rough texture while supporting long-term firmness.

Why it works

Bamboo stem extract and walnut shell powder work together to lift away dead skin, smoothing rough texture and clearing the surface. This allows peptides to reach skin directly, targeting its structural matrix. Because freshly exfoliated skin is left exposed to daily stressors, antioxidants provide defense while hyaluronic acid and botanical lipids replenish moisture to the barrier.

Q&A

The ingredients aren’t listed. What are they? Also, is this paraben and phthalate free? Thanks.
Hi - I do not see any ingredients ending in "-paraben" (like methylparaben, propylparaben, etc.). The ingredient list does include Fragrance [Parfum], which could sometimes contain phthalates. INGREDIENTS: Water (Aqua), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Acrylates Copolymer, Bambusa Arundinacea (Bamboo) Stem Extract [Bambusa Arundinacea Extract], Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Chloride, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, Butylene Glycol, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance [Parfum], Disodium Edta, Mica, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Magnesium Nitrate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Phenoxyethanol, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Silica, Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Polyquaternium-7, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Glycerin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract [Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract], Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols, Tocopheryl Acetate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Magnesium Chloride, Sodium Benzoate, Methylisothiazolinone, Globularia Cordifolia Callus Culture Extract, Citric Acid, Lecithin, Resveratrol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Potassium Benzoate, Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene, Geraniol, Bht, Tin Oxide, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, Ci 77499), Yellow 5 (Ci 19140), Red 40 (Ci 16035).
What is the expiration date on the Age Defying Exfoliator I received in my April 2020 order? The bar code on the bottom of the box is: 7 39581 12794 2. On the tube it says: FDFE4C. It is unopened. There is no date or code on the paper enclosure.
Hi Amanda, Batch codes refer to the time a product was manufactured and are not related to expiration dates of our mud masks. Our products have a symbol (24M = 2 years) noting the amount of time a product will be good after opening. Of course, if there is an odor or discoloration you should dispose.
Was this be good for oily skin with breakouts
Hi Jason - Thanks for your question! Our Age Defying Exfoliator is formulated for all skin types and does help control breakouts. We recommend exfoliating once to twice a week as part of your daily skincare routine. Hope that helps!
