Alba has yet to let me down. I like this scrub almost as much as Origins incredible spreadable scrub and its 1/3 the price. It does smell alot like the yankee candle buttercream scent when in the jar.

I've tried the Hawaiian salt scrub as well, and this one is way better. Groovy smell, and my skin is so soft. Definite staple!

This smells sooooo good! Like vanilla and sugar. It leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and the oils are very moisturizing. It's very similar to the Bath and Body Works vanilla sugar scrub that I love, but this is about $8 cheaper which is a big plus. I knocked off one lippie because I don't feel that it exfoliates as the Bath and Body Works scrub, but it's very gentle and a product that I will definately repurchase!

Smells like sugar (duh). Not too much oil in the jar, which is a good thing :) Not abrasive, but exfoliates gently. My skin feels so moisturized when I exit the shower. I use this twice a week and I'm amazed at the great value. From being a brand-name department store fan, I am now a naturals convert. Buy at Whole Foods for $12.

Pure heaven! The oil is so moisterizing, the scrub so gentle & the smell reminds me of a Buttercreme Yankee candle and it lingers on your skin afterwards. My skin looks & feels incredible from using this product. Alba is cruelty free too. Definately my HG of scrubs and will repurchase. EDIT: I just bought another jar today 12/18/04 and the consistency is different but BETTER! It's more like a jelly vs. just sugar in oil. It was just as effective and I liked it way better. Good move Alba!

Very comparable to the Natural Esscents Sugared Shortbread Scrub but less oily (which I like). Very nice scent and texture. Not too coarse, not too fine. Awesome product for around $11! Available at Whole Foods.

Ah, I'm in love with this. I got it at my local "Whole Foods"-type market and it smells so freakin' good. It's a very gentle scrub, not too expensive for the amount you get, and it smells SO FREAKIN' GOOD!! I wish the smell lingered longer, but besides that, it's perfect. To me it's reminiscent of Urban Decay's Cream and Sugar scrub that I loved so much but can't find anymore (sob) - it's not quite as strong in the scent department, but very similar, and cheaper too. I will repurchase, definitely.

This is a wonderful scrub. The scent is a bit more foody than I thought it would be, which I normally don't like, but this works so well I'll forgive it! Wonderfully scrubby, luxuriously moisturizing, and not too expensive...I will definitely repurchase.

This sugar cane body polish is the best product ever! I have very dry skin but after using this product, my skin got softer instantly. Most scrub products made my skin drier but not this one. Price is reasonable compared to the quality. Try internatural.com or wholefoods-you can get discount! (20% or 30%)Packaging is also pretty.
