There's nothing like a good body scrub! I try a lot of scrubs and I am just in love with this one. At first I was a little hesitant with the whole walnut thing, but after a few uses, I am hooked.
History:
Just a few years old, vonNatur has created a line of organic and vegan certfied products that capture nature in all its essence. They offer facial care lines for each skin type, vegan mineral makeup and a bath and body line.
Product:
Walnut AHA Body Exfoliant, 5.75 oz, $16.99
I tried this scrub first in the shower and either I really wasn't in the mood or my sower space was too small to really appreciate it, but at first I didn't like this scrub. But when my husband came home from seven days in the field, I decided he needed a nice scrub down and got out the vonNatur.
This silky little scrub produces the nicest lather and leaves you feeling tingly, refreshed and smooth as can be. I used it the other day in my bath, slathered some on my pumice stone and went to work on my heels. I wish you could feel my feet! Oh, baby! They feel so perky and alive and so soft. Just a little of this stuff goes a long way and makes the perfect treat for a tired body.
Pros:
* It's not greasy
* Packed with skin tightening ingredients that leave you soft and silky
* Lathers up ever so slightly but doesn't leave a film
* Great for men and women
* Perfect to use in the tub or shower
Cons:
* Haven't been able to come up with something yet
Overall:
Glad that I gave this scrub a second chance. For me, it's a really great scrub for the bath, and for use as a couple. My feet have never felt so tingly and soft. Since they use walnut shell powder, my skin didn't feel raw and cut after use. Highly recommended and will definitely be on this month's must have list!
vonNatur products are available online and in select spas across the country.

I'm really glad you wrote a review on this because I would have passed this product up because it says walnut on the outside. Some of the walnut shell-based scrubs I've tried in the past were very harsh. Hurray for scrubs that don't scratch!
