Key Benefits
Enzymatic exfoliants work to dissolve expired skin cells while mechanical exfoliants gently free them up to be rinsed away. Raw, ground-up adzuki bean has been used in skin preparations for centuries in Japan. It provides gentle, manual exfoliation while its astringent properties help clarify and tighten pores. Both cranberry seed and geranium oil offer skin-brightening attributes, which assist with reducing hyper-pigmentation (dark spots due to sun exposure and past acne breakouts). The ingredients in this Scrub nourish the skin with antioxidants that scavenge free-radicals and optimize cellular function, resulting in more radiant skin and increased cell turnover.
Key Ingredients
ADZUKI BEAN
Ground adzuki bean has been used in Japanese skin care regimes for centuries. Geishas treasured it as their secret for smooth, soft skin, helping them to achieve a flawless complexion. Adzuki is a very gentle, yet effective exfoliant. It deep cleanses without dehydrating or abrading, leaving the skin firm and smooth. Suitable for all skin types, it is gentle enough to use daily.
CRANBERRY SEED
Ground cranberry seeds possess impressive amounts of antioxidant phenols which are beneficial for all skin types. This high antioxidant content is responsible for cranberry's anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. Cranberry is also said to offer antibacterial properties that are beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin types. The cranberry seed is high in potent enzymes, which dissolve dead cells and remove sebum from the skin's surface. Cranberry is commonly used in skin care to exfoliate, tone, soften, smooth and brighten dull skin and treat acne conditions.
ORGANIC RICE BRAN EXTRACT
Rice bran includes constituents that make it quite unique: it is emollient, antioxidant and rich in essential fatty acids. Rice bran has been highly acclaimed for centuries in helping to create the flawless skin attributed to Japanese women. It is a gentle exfoliant and skin softener that also helps prevent wrinkles, restores vitality to damaged skin, absorbs dirt and oil from pores and balances sebum production.

-Eva-Marie Lind, Lead Designer & Aromatologist for EM Arome
I received a sample kit of your facial care products at the Green Fest in Chicago. They made my face feel so soft and smooth that I had to order the Egyptian Geranium with Adzuki Bean & Cranberry Facial Scrub and the Italian Red Mandarin with Rose Facial Cream. These are the best face products I've ever used.
