Cocoa

COCOA BUTTER
(Theobroma cacao)

Famous for its excellent emollient properties, we source our cocoa butter from West Africa, where fermented beans of the cocoa tree are roasted, cracked and ground to give a powdery solid called cocoa mass, from which cocoa butter is pressed.

Eucalyptus

EUCALYPTUS ESSENTIAL OIL
(Eucalyptus globulus)

Renowned for its purifying properties and invigorating aroma, we source our eucalyptus from China, where our essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the fast-growing eucalyptus tree.

Jojoba

JOJOBA BEADS
(Jojoba esters)

Prized for their gentle exfoliating action, jojoba beads leave skin clearer, brighter and more polished. To create our naturally biodegradable beads that are kind to the environment, pale yellow jojoba oil is hydrogenated to create a hard white wax, which is then warmed and dropped from a height to create smooth spheres.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very Disappointing product and service Really disappointed with this product, there was a fault with the packaging so the top didn't screw on again, the threads must have been damaged. So the product dried out. Liz Earle customer service very unhelpful, did not comply with UK legislation in terms of faulty return. Will never use Liz Earle products again.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Tube is wasteful Please Liz Earle, bring back the pump. I have been using this product daily for 15+ years but cannot understand wht you think a tube is a good idea? You open it and product leaps out like a trapped worm. It is then impossible to get the lid back on quickly without a) dropping the bit in your hand or b) squeezing more out of the tube which then ends up inside the lid, leaving a crust. I am losing about a third of each tube either down the sink or in excess inside the lid. It's too expensive to waste. The pump was clean and simple with no mess and shower friendly. Please, please reconsconsider. Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gentle and not over grainy. I’ve been putting off purchasing a face scrub as I have sensitive rosacea prone skin, but as it’s so dry and flaky I gave in. I’ve been using Liz Earle products for years and I’m definitely not disappointed with the scrub, it’s grainy enough to do the job well but not excessively. Yet another excellent Liz Earle product to add to my skin regime.

Is this for dry skin.

I have a dry skin.
Asked by: Manish
Hi, thanks for getting in touch! Even those with dry skin can benefit from regular exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and flaky skin. However, we would advise caution if your skin is particularly sensitive, and as with all our products, we would recommend a patch test first. I hope this helps - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

Is this to be used on wet or dry skin

It says to use after the hot cloth & polish so is on wet or dry skin please Thank you Miss K Zambetakis
Asked by: Zambetakis1
Hi there, thanks for sending over your question. We'd generally recommend using the Gentle Face Exfoliator 2-3 times a week, after cleansing and apply using dry hands onto a dried face. I hope this helps! - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team.

This is called Gentle face Exfoliator..why then does it state by the description that it’s not suitable for sensitive skin?

Asked by: Blondan
Hi there, thanks for your question. We simply advise caution in using this (or any exfoliator) on very sensitive skin due to the stimulating nature of the product. We'd always recommend a 24-hour patch test prior to first use of any new skincare product. - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

Is this suitable if you have rosacea?

Asked by: JuneB123
Hi there, thanks for your question. We advise caution in using this (or any exfoliator) on very sensitive skin due to the stimulating nature of the product. Unfortunately there are no guarantees that individual products within our range are going to suit everyone. All of our products are formulated to be as mild and gentle as possible, but we would always recommend our customers carry out a patch test prior to using any new skincare product for the first time. A small amount should be applied close to the area of intended use. Should you experience any redness, irritation or discomfort during the next 24 hours – or at any point after the patch test - then we would advise to immediately discontinue use. - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team
