Trader Joe's Brazil Nut Body Scrub — Sugar & Salt Exfoliant with Guarana & Aloe (8 oz)

Trader Joe's Brazil Nut Body Scrub is a dual-action exfoliating and moisturizing body polish formulated with a sucrose sugar and mineral salt base, enriched with Brazil Nut Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Guarana Seed Extract, and Aloe Leaf Extract. This 8 oz (227g) scrub buffs away dead skin cells while simultaneously replenishing moisture — leaving skin silky smooth in a single step, with a warm salted caramel and pistachio fragrance.

Active Ingredients and Skin Care Benefits

• Sucrose (Sugar) + Mineral Salt + Coconut Shell Powder — A tri-texture physical exfoliant system: fine sugar granules dissolve gently as you scrub, mineral salt provides deeper buffing action, and coconut shell powder polishes without micro-tearing sensitive skin.
• Brazil Nut Seed Oil — Rich in selenium, zinc, and essential fatty acids (oleic and linoleic acid) that replenish the skin barrier and prevent post-scrub dryness or tightness.
• Coconut Oil — Medium-chain fatty acids (lauric acid) that penetrate quickly to lock in moisture immediately after exfoliation.
• Jojoba Oil — Structurally similar to skin's natural sebum; balances oil levels and soothes sensitivity triggered by physical exfoliation.
• Sunflower Seed Oil — High in linoleic acid; lightweight carrier oil that softens skin without clogging pores post-scrub.
• Guarana Seed Extract — Natural caffeine and xanthine source that stimulates microcirculation, energizes dull skin, and enhances the skin's post-exfoliation radiance.
• Aloe Leaf Extract — Clinically recognized soothing agent that calms redness and irritation caused by physical exfoliation, supporting skin recovery.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — Antioxidant that protects freshly exfoliated skin cells from free radical damage and environmental stressors.

Who This Product Is For

This body scrub is ideal for:

• Rough, dry skin on elbows, knees, and heels — the tri-texture exfoliant system targets stubborn rough patches effectively.
• Weekly full-body exfoliation routines — gentle enough for regular use without over-stripping the skin barrier.
• Users who want 2-in-1 exfoliation + hydration — the oil-rich formula moisturizes as it scrubs, eliminating the need for a separate post-scrub lotion.
• Fans of the Trader Joe's Brazil Nut line — pairs perfectly with the Brazil Nut Body Butter for a complete tropical skin care routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I use this scrub?
1–2 times per week is recommended for most skin types. Those with sensitive skin may start with once per week and adjust based on skin response.

Do I need to apply lotion after using it?
The oil-rich formula leaves skin moisturized after rinsing, so a separate lotion is optional. For extra-dry skin, pairing with the Brazil Nut Body Butter is recommended.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. The fine sugar granules dissolve during use, reducing abrasion intensity. Aloe and Jojoba Oil calm post-scrub sensitivity. Avoid use on broken or sunburned skin.

Is this product cruelty-free?
Yes. Trader Joe's Brazil Nut Body Scrub is cruelty-free and has never been tested on animals.
