Why Probiotic?
"Emerging thoughts include the idea that probiotics can actually help improve the balance of bacteria on your skin, very similar to the way they are known to improve the balance of bacteria in your digestive system. This will provide relief for those who suffer with eczema, psoriasis, various rashes of the skin, skin allergies, acne, unsightly discolorations, and interestingly enough it is also proving to be a powerful antidote against aging (a.k.a. wrinkles)!" - Andrea at Frugally Sustainable

All you need are these simple ingredients...cocoa butter, coconut oil, shea butter, beeswaxarrowroot powder, baking soda, vitamin E oil, essential oil of your choice, powdered probiotics.

There are several things I love about this scrub...
  • It smells SO Lemony Fresh & Clean
  • It scrubs while keeping my hands baby soft
  • It is made from ingredients that I already have in my kitchen
  • I can pronounce all of the ingredients
  • It makes a great gift
  • And last but not least, I get to use my pretty mason jars
So, have I convinced you to make your own yet? If so, go here. If not, re-read the list - and smell a lemon.
