resurface scrub: face + body

NOTO, founded by fashion and beauty makeup artist, Gloria Noto, is a multi-use, gender-inclusive, clean cosmetic line (where clean refers to "free of ingredients that can harm your body and the environment"). Packed with uncomplicated yet high-performing ingredients, NOTO celebrates the authentic and diverse layers of what self-expression and beauty can mean. This is what Gloria says about her journey: "Launching NOTO quite literally in my kitchen, I became excited to use all the skills I learned over the years to create a line that celebrated the spectrum of authentic identities I felt I wasn’t seeing in the clean beauty industry at that time. I wanted to hear their stories and celebrate their lives through how we all connect with self-care." Through their products, NOTO gets involved in support of vulnerable communities, the arts, and the environment. They support organizations such as: Planned Parenthood, The Okra Project, The Transgender Freedom Fund, Black Mama’s Matter, The Love Land Foundation, The Trevor Project, and many more.

I've been enjoying this resurface scrub (100 ml) and I strongly agree: it does polish, it does cleanse and it does exfoliate your face (and, should you wish it, your body). I love its walnut shell powder, a super interesting and natural way in which to use nature's leftovers and cleanse. Organic aloe leaf, blood orange, alpha hydroxy acids and walnut powder combine to create a gentle foaming exfoliate that leaves your skin feeling so good. NOTO's recommendation is using this scrub 2-4 x's a week - and please do protect your skin after use as it can leave the skin sensitive towards the sun. Always Vegan + Uni-ver-sally Sexy.

apply: by scooping out the face and body scrub and applying it to your wet skin. The water will allow the product to foam. Gently massage in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use this organic face scrub on the face, backs of arms, derrière cheeks, and more.
