Rituals The Ritual of Karma Body Scrub 250 g is a rich sugar-based body scrub with botanical oils, designed for the occasional removal of dead surface cells, smoothing rough areas and leaving body skin feeling softer and more radiant.
Sugar crystals provide mechanical exfoliation and gradually dissolve during massage on damp skin. The oil-rich base supports easy application and leaves a comfortable conditioning feel after rinsing without excessive tightness.
The formula contains safflower, avocado, sweet almond, argan, macadamia, jojoba and sunflower oils. This blend supports a softer, smoother and more comfortable skin feel after exfoliation.
The scrub features the fresh, clean and softly floral fragrance associated with The Ritual of Karma, inspired by lotus flower and white tea. The 250 g jar belongs to the older sugar-based version and differs from the newer 300 g salt scrub.

Pharmacist advice
Use the scrub moderately, usually once weekly and no more than twice weekly when well tolerated. More frequent use does not provide faster results and may weaken the skin barrier.
Use gentle pressure during massage. Sugar crystals already provide sufficient mechanical action, while vigorous rubbing may cause redness and stinging.
Do not use immediately after shaving or waxing. Mechanical friction and fragrance ingredients may further irritate small surface injuries.
The oil-based formula may leave normal skin sufficiently soft. Dry skin may additionally benefit from a body cream or balm, particularly over the lower legs, elbows and knees.
For active eczema, dermatitis, damaged skin or a confirmed fragrance allergy, choose gentle fragrance-free care without mechanical particles.
Persistent itching, cracking, sores, weeping or severe flaking should not be managed with a scrub. The underlying cause should first be assessed.
