Manjari Scrub: Physical exfoliation, emollient cushioning and gentle pressure

The role of this product

Manjari uses physical exfoliation in a cream base. The intended effect is to lift loose surface flakes and leave skin smoother-feeling after rinsing.

How the formulation works

Walnut-shell powder provides mechanical exfoliation. Particle size, shape and applied pressure influence how a scrub feels. Passion-fruit seed oil and the emulsion base contribute cushioning and slip. Studies on a piceatannol-rich passion-fruit extract describe a different ingredient from the seed oil and do not prove a clinical benefit for the scrub.
