Crushed Coffee & Tonka Bean Sugar Body Scrub: Benefits and How to Use It

A good body scrub does two jobs at once: it buffs away dullness and sets the skin up to actually absorb whatever you put on it next. Roots & Herbs' Crushed Coffee & Tonka Bean Sugar Body Scrub is a 100% vegan, Ayurvedic-inspired scrub built around finely ground coffee, sugar crystals and nourishing plant oils, suitable for all skin types.

What's in it

  • Finely ground coffee beans — a natural exfoliator that buffs away dullness and helps even out skin tone
  • Tonka bean extract — traditionally used for its anti-aging properties, helping brighten and tone skin
  • Baobab oil and argan oil — rich in vitamins A, D, E and F, these carry oils nourish and soften skin as the scrub rinses off
  • Sugar crystals — the base exfoliating texture of the scrub

The formula is free from alcohol, parabens, silicones, mineral oils, SLS/SLES and synthetic colors or fragrances, and it's 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

How to use it

  1. Wet your skin in the shower or bath.
  2. Scoop out a small amount of the scrub and massage it over your body in gentle, circular motions, focusing on rougher areas like elbows, knees and heels.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with water.
  4. Use 3–4 times a week for best results — it's gentle enough for regular use, including on lips, feet and ingrown-hair-prone areas.

As with any new skincare product, patch-test behind the earlobe and wait 24 hours before full-body use, and discontinue if irritation occurs.

Pair it with the Carrot Seed After Shower Oil

For a complete two-step body care ritual, follow up a scrub session with Roots & Herbs' Carrot Seed After Shower Oil on towel-dried, still-slightly-damp skin — the scrub exfoliates and smooths, while the oil seals in hydration. You can browse the full range in the Scrub collection.
