Review: Jungle Botanics Natural Body Glow Nutshell Scrub

Here is my promised review about the Jungle Botanics Natural Body Glow Nutshell Scrub which was sent to me by Wishtrend. I talked about the hair care products from this newly launched brand Jungle Botanics previously, and all in all I am very pleased with this new brand and the products I tested. Here is my impression, not about hair care, but about body care:

Jungle Botanics is a brand created by Wishtrend. According to its description it brings to you the vitality of the green jungle by combining advanced technologies  with natural ingredients. So far there are three products available from this brand: the Jungle Botanics Forest Leaves Cooling Shampoo and Warming Treatment and the Natural Body Glow Nutshell Scrub.

I love body scrubs! Especially, when I feel my skin is dry and I have flakes of dry skin clinging around there is nothing better than removing those unwanted flakes with a good body scrub and use a rich body moisturizer afterwards! Also, if you are using spray tan or similar a good body scrub is your best friend! Body scrubs are designed to give you smooth, glowing and healthy skin!

The ingredients of the Jungle Botanics Natural Body Glow Nutshell Scrub are listed below and you can check them via COSDNA, too! You can see that the scrub uses walnut shell powder for achieving a perfect and environmental friendly scrub of your skin. So no microbeads here! Yei! The scrub comes in a beautiful bronze/brown tube packaging and contains 250 ml. The product has a soft consistency with very fine walnut shell particles visible. The Walnut Shell Powder is round-cut and fine as sand and doesn’t hurt the skin. Therefore it is non irritating and suited for more sensitive skin types, too.

Ingredients: Water, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerin, TEA-Lauryl Sulfate, Propylene Glycol Laurate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Fragrance, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Oleyl Alcohol, Sodium Chloride, Cocamide DEA, Triethanolamine, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Carbomer, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Sucrose, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Mannitol, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Pentaclethra macroloba seed oil, Garcinia Indica Seed Butter, Bertholletia Excelsa Seed Oil, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate, Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Butylene Glycol, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract, Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Extract, Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract, Malpighia Emarginata (Acerola) Fruit Extract, Gaultheria Procumbens (Wintergreen) Leaf Extract, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract, Crocus Sativus Flower Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Flower Extract, Achillea Millefolium Flower Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Prunus Persica (Peach) Kernel Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Oil, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Pseudozyma Epicola/Soybean Flour/Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil Ferment Filtrate, Tin Oxide, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, CI 77491

The ingredients list contains cacao seed butter plus 10 other plant derived oils. Moreover it contains Pseudizyma epicola ferment filtrate. Also here, the majority of the ingredients is green-labelled, but still there are some potential irritants and triggers which should be considered before using them, especially for allergic people. There is a red-labelled ingredient, too, which I discussed in one previous review of the Wish Formula C200 Bubble Peeling Pad, the Cocamide DEA. For rinse off products it is safe to use, but also depends on the concentration. So please be sure to patch test before using it.

The Jungle Botanics Natural Body Glow Nutshell Scrub has a mousse texture, which comes with a bronze color (fits to the packaging) and tiny granules, which appear like sand first. They allow a very fine and soft scrub, but also melt away nicely on the wet skin and even form some foam while rinsing. The smell of the product is very nice, but hard to describe for me.

I love this body scrub and I almost used it up already. My bf uses it aswell, so it seems it will not be long-lasting. The best part is of corse that it is free from microbeads! Jungle Botanics Natural Body Glow Nutshell Scrub retails for 23.90 US$ from Wishtrend. If you want to check it out don’t forget to check out the Wishtrend monthly vouchers in order to save some money on your order and get freebies. I also have a list on all the products I reviewed from Wishtrend there. Also keep in mind their friend-referral program: You can receive a 5 Us$ referral coupon if you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration and you’ll receive this voucher immediately.There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above.
