Alba's Sugar Cane Body Polish Review

Is it Better Than a Sea Salt Scrub?

Sea Shepherd
Alba is known for their many organic fragrant spa and sun care products. However, the one product that stands out for me is the Alba's Sugar Cane Body Polish. During the winter months our skin surface builds up a lot of dead skin cells creating a dry skin look. Alba's Sugar Cane Body Polish will wash away your dry dead skin cells and replenish it will a silky smooth finish. Alba's Sugar Cane is hypo-allergenic, ph balanced, and 100% vegetarian ingredients with no animal testing. Even Alba's plastic jar it comes in is recycled. Their ingredients are made from refreshing all-natural Hawaiian ingredients.

I have used sea salt scrubs for exfoliating in the shower. However, many of them are combined with thick oil. Oh, they smell great. However, what seems to happen is when you go to use the sea salt scrubs, you end up with less salt and more oil left in the jars after each usage. Unlike the sea salt scrubs, Alba's Sugar Cane Body Polish has more of a gel type consistency with the fine crystals of sugar cane blending better for a better value for your money. In addition it will gently scrub your dead cells away unlike sea salts that can be a bit rough for sensitive skin.

The moisturizing elements are in the form of rich honey and tropical nut oils. Other ingredients listed are certified organic helianthus annuus (sunflower) oil, certified organic saccharum officinarum (sugar cane)juice, silica, aleurites moluccana (kukui nut) and macadamia ternifolia oils, honey, tocopherol (vitamin E), and botanical fragrance. The fragrance of this product reminds me of warm vanilla sugar. Furthermore, I don't feel like I need to use a large quantity of the sugar cane scrub compared to the sea salt scrubs.

The price for a ten ounce jar retails for $10.95. However, on LuckyVitamin.com it sells for an affordable $5.95. This is a real deal when you compare this to brands you find at Bath and Body Works. Some of their scrubs are too oily and just go down the drain and you are paying about $18-$20 for about the same size jar. LuckyVitamins.com has many organic products to choose from and they have a flat shipping rate of $5.95 up to 10 pounds of products. I have had nothing but good experiences so far from their products. I think one reason is because they give you detailed descriptions of what is in the products. I have checked into this and they are definitely cheaper than the local health food stores for the same products.

I have used other Alba products. If you are trying to stay as natural as possible with personal care products, I would suggest for you to look into Alba's product line.
