Sugar is a natural exfoliant derived from sugarcane or sugar beets. Its fine crystals gently remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and radiant. Sugar also contains glycolic acid, which helps to brighten and hydrate the skin.

Holistic practitioners often associate sugar with sweetness and nurturing, aligning with its gentle, skin-loving properties. Beyond skincare, sugar has historical ties to rituals symbolizing abundance and prosperity. Did you know? Sugar scrubs have been used for centuries in cultures like the Middle East, where they were part of traditional hammam (bathhouse) treatments.
