Organic Bath Co. Body Scrub Review

I must admit, I've never been much of a body scrub person. There's something about having to wash my tub afterwards that just doesn't appeal to me, however, I do enjoy how they feel and the therapeutic benefits (via essential oils) that some provide. When I came across Organic Bath Co. on Twitter, I couldn't resist wanting to try them. It was their story and how they give back that really sealed the deal for me though.
We started Organic Bath Co. with the idea that taking care of yourself is tantamount to taking care of others and the planet we all inhabit. What if high quality, natural skin products were not only luxurious in formula, but generous in principle?

We believe that it is still possible to start a company from the ground up. To nurture it, and the people who work for us. To educate about good-for-skin ingredients. To celebrate whimsy while delivering luxury. And above all, to give back to those in need. For every purchase made, Organic Bath Co. will donate to 1% for the Planet and other charitable organizations.

We at Organic Bath Co. pledge to provide you with ingredients you can feel good about using. After all, your skin is the largest organ you have! We'll care for it, and the planet, with green, organic and Fair Trade Certified-ingredients that will lift your spirits and soften your rough patches. And we'll help those in need while we're at it. How's that for multi-tasking?

Journey with us as we continue to feel good, smell good and do good!

Gianne, Founder and Creator, reached out and was kind enough to send me *Java Jolt, *Stress Less, and *Zesty Mornings to try out and I'm so glad that she did. They are all incredible and the only difference, really, is scent. Well, and Java Jolt clearly has coffee in it.

*Java Jolt Description: Hey, we get it. Mornings can be tough (especially after a celebratory night.) Sometimes you need a little more than coffee in your cup before you’re ready to say Hello, world! That’s why we created Java Jolt. Made from 100% organic, Fair Trade Certified Sugar & Coffee, this super moisturizing scrub features our super-special blend of almond, apricot and sunflower oils, plus coffee and mint to enliven your senses. It exfoliates while it hydrates, removing dirt and dead skin, while the organic oils leave you softer than silk and ready to conquer the world. 

Honestly, I haven't used this one open yet. All I can tell you is that it smells lovely and I love the baby jar. I assume that this would make an amazing cellulite busting scrub and really wake you up in the morning.

*Stress less Description: We know how it feels to be pushed to the limit. Short on time. More frazzled than dazzled. That’s why we created Stress Less. This luxurious, 100% organic sugar scrub is made from Fair Trade Certified Sugar and a shhhh-don’t-tell blend of incredibly moisturizing almond, apricot, sunflower and calming lavender oils. It exfoliates while it hydrates, removing dirt and dead skin, while the soothing organic oils leave you softer than silk and feeling oh-so-OMMMMMMM. 
  
This is definitely not my most favourite lavender scent. I guess the way it's mixing with the other ingredients makes it smell a bit off, not bad or rancid...just, off. The scrub itself is sooooooo nice! It's not too abrasive or oily and, it leaves my skin super soft and moisturized. I especially love using this one on my hands regularly.

*Zesty Mornings Description: We don’t believe in alarm clocks. We believe in up-and-at-‘em, wakey wakey, start-the-day-off-with-a- bang! kind of mornings. That’s why we created Zesty Morning. This luxurious, 100% organic sugar scrub is made from Fair Trade Certified Sugar and a super-secret blend of incredibly moisturizing almond, apricot, sunflower and citrus oils. It exfoliates while it hydrates, removing dirt and dead skin, while the soothing organic oils leave you softer than silk and ready to face the day.

I wasn't expecting to receive this scent, it was a surprise. A lovely surprise! It smells amazing, like fresh and juicy citrus fruits. Yep, fresh and juicy citrus fruits. Out of the three, this is my favourite scent. It works as well as Stress Less and I love using this scent on lazy mornings, in the shower.


All of Organic Bath Co.'s body scrubs come in plastic containers that are fairly easy to travel with and won't shatter if you drop them in your shower. While they do leave an oily residue on the bottom of my tub and sink, they are in no way oily on the body. I hate when scrubs leave me feeling greasy and gross, know what I mean? I love that these aren't abrasive, yet they are so effective at removing any dead skin and leaving my skin suuuuuper soft. After using these for a couple of months now, I can say that they last a very, very long time. I also enjoy the fact that there are several scent options available (including unscented) and that the scents are in no way overpowering or linger for long. So whether you like a little, a lot, or no scent at all, Organic Bath Co. will not disappoint.

Retails for $27 USD for 11.2 oz. Can be purchased through Organic Bath Co. or these retailers. 
Scents available: Java Jolt, Stress Less, Zesty Mornings, Naked, SubLIME, and RefreshMint.

  2. So glad to see this post! I just received the Zesty Mornings scrub at an event and hadn't heard much about the brand or product. I'm usually hesitant to use body scrubs but your review makes them sound great! Plus, the scent really is that yummy! :)

  3. These look so good! I am not a fan of body scrubs on my legs because scrubbing supposedly isn't good if you have varicose veins (I do), but I love it on the rest of my body.
