TIELA PERFUME THERAPY BODY SCRUB SHINE 250g

100% Genuine · Fragrance-Forward (not Fragrance-Free) · FA-Conditional*

*Fungal-acne conditional flag: this product's brand-stated ingredient list includes Coconut Oil and Olive Oil, both recognized Malassezia-feeding oils. Relevant mainly if you deal with fungal folliculitis ("fungal acne") on your chest or back; short rinse-off contact time lowers but does not remove the risk.

Pros: genuinely dual-function (buffs texture AND leaves a real, three-note fragrance behind, so you can skip a separate body spray); contains real barrier-supportive ingredients (Ceramide NP, Glycolipids, Shea Butter) rather than being pure abrasive; humectant base (Glycerin, Sucrose, Sodium Hyaluronate) means it does not finish squeaky-tight the way soap-and-sugar scrubs often do.

Caveats: a genuinely fragranced product, so it is not the right pick if you are avoiding synthetic fragrance for sensitive or fungal-acne-prone skin; we could not verify a full, ordered INCI list for this exact product in this research pass (see Section 23); no clinical study or concentration data was found for any of the marketed actives.

Step 1 (When): In the shower, PM is most common, but AM works too if you have time.

Step 2 (How much): A generous walnut-to-golf-ball-size scoop per full-body pass — more for legs and arms, less for smaller areas.

Step 3 (How): Massage onto wet skin in circular motions for 30-60 seconds per area, avoiding the face, then rinse thoroughly.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

If you shower in the morning: 1) Wet skin fully in warm (not hot) water. 2) Massage TIELA Perfume Therapy Body Scrub Shine over rough areas (elbows, knees, shins, upper arms) for 30-60 seconds. 3) Rinse completely. 4) Pat — do not rub — dry. 5) Follow with a body moisturizer while skin is still slightly damp, since Mauritius's morning humidity means humectant ingredients in a follow-up lotion will pull extra water from the air rather than fighting you for it.

This is a rinse-off, occasional-use step, not a daily AM layering product, so it does not have a fixed position in a facial viscosity ladder — see Section 8B below for how it relates to the rest of a routine.

Most people use this at night: 1) Cleanse face separately first if combining a shower with a facial routine (keep this scrub off the face). 2) Wet body skin. 3) Massage in the TIELA Perfume Therapy Body Scrub Shine for 30-60 seconds per area, 2-3 times per week (see Weekly Planner). 4) Rinse fully. 5) Pat dry and apply a body moisturizer within a few minutes to lock in the softened texture before bed.

Because this is a physical exfoliant, it occupies the same "exfoliation lane" as any body-area AHA/BHA peel or acid pad you might also use — don't stack a chemical body exfoliant and this physical scrub on the same area on the same day.

Technique: Massage in gentle circular motions — do not press hard or scrub aggressively. Friction beyond a light-to-medium pressure increases the risk of micro-tears and irritation without exfoliating any faster.

Required skin state: Wet skin, ideally after a minute or two of warm water to soften the surface first.

Wait time: None needed before rinsing — massage, then rinse. Apply moisturizer within a few minutes of towel-drying for best results.

Hands deliver essentially all of the product to skin; there is no cotton-pad equivalent for a granular scrub texture, so always apply with clean hands.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

This map is built around a facial skincare routine's layering order, and this product is a body-care step, so it does not occupy a literal rung on the map below. In practice, treat it as a pre-step that happens in the shower, entirely separate from and before any facial layering — never apply this scrub to the face.

Global execution rules: Viscosity ladder: thinnest to thickest; water-phase before oil-phase; treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s; serum layers 30-60s; before sunscreen 10-15 min if going outdoors or applying makeup. Amount defaults: watery toner/essence 5-8 drops per layer; serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump; eye product ½ rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size; sunscreen 2-finger rule for face (+1 finger neck). Skin state rules: hydrators best on slightly damp skin; retinoids best on fully dry skin; exfoliating acids on dry or lightly damp skin, one lane only. Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack (facial, for reference): 1. Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (optional). 2. pH-Prep/Balancing Toner (optional). 3. Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3, optional). 4. Essence (optional). 5. Mist (optional). 6. Booster/Soothing Serum (optional). 7. Antioxidant Lane (choose one, optional). 8. Pigment Support Lane (choose one, optional). 9. Hydration Serum Lane (optional). 10. Oil-Control/Sebum-Regulating Lane (choose one, optional). 11. Peptides/Growth-Factor/Repair Lane (optional). 12. Eye Serum/Cream (optional). 13. Moisturizer. 14. Optional Sealing Layer (dry/AC only). 15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable). 16. Lip SPF (optional). In AM, prioritize comfort + SPF adherence over stacking. In high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack (facial, for reference): 1. Micellar (optional pre-cleanse). 2. Oil Cleanser/Balm (if SPF/makeup). 3. Water Cleanser. 4. pH-Prep Toner (optional). 5. Hydrating Toner Layers (optional). 6. Essence (optional). 7. Soothing/Barrier Serum (optional). 8. Anchor Product. 9. Targeted Serum (optional). 10. Moisturizer. 11. Sleeping Mask (optional). 12. Occlusive Seal (optional). 13. Spot Treatment/Pimple Patch (as needed). 14. Lip Sleeping Mask (optional). Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night.

Lane strictness: One-lane rule — Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane (barrier/hydration) and reduce layers. For body care specifically: this scrub is your "Exfoliation" lane for the body — don't also run a chemical body peel on the same days/areas.

This product is a thick, granular scrub-paste texture — the heaviest tier for a rinse-off product. It is applied to wet skin, massaged, and rinsed away entirely, so it does not participate in a leave-on layering order the way a serum or cream does.

Phase-wise, it is an emulsion (oil-phase ingredients like Shea Butter and Olive Oil suspended with water-phase humectants like Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate), which is why it rinses to a soft, non-greasy finish rather than leaving a heavy film.

It appears thick in the container but spreads and rinses more easily than its texture suggests — do not judge how much you need by how solid it looks scooped into your palm.

Rest days matter: skipping a day between sessions lets the skin barrier recover from the mechanical friction of scrubbing before the next round.

Overuse warning: maximum 2-3 sessions per week on any one area. Exceeding this does NOT produce faster results — it produces barrier damage, micro-tears, and increased sensitivity.

Before starting this product, your routine should already include a basic body moisturizer to follow it with. Scrubbing without a moisturizer follow-up strips more than it conditions and can leave skin drier than before you started.

Rough, dry texture (elbows, knees, shins): physical buffing removes built-up dead skin cells that plain moisturizer can't dissolve on its own.

Dullness: removing the surface layer of dead cells lets light reflect more evenly, which reads as brighter/more "radiant" skin — a real optical effect, not a pigment change.

Dehydration: Glycerin, Sucrose, and Sodium Hyaluronate are humectants that draw and hold water in the skin's surface layer during and immediately after use.

What this product cannot do: it cannot change your natural skin tone or "lighten" skin — any brightness improvement is from smoother surface texture reflecting light better, not from reduced melanin. It cannot treat cellulite, stretch marks, or firm/tighten skin — there is no ingredient or mechanism in this formula that does either.

We do not currently carry a dedicated TIELA body lotion, cream, or oil in this catalog to pair as a direct same-line follow-up — this category is under sourcing review. In the meantime, any plain, fragrance-compatible body moisturizer applied within a few minutes of towel-drying will lock in the effect of this scrub.

For a scent-rotation or gifting pairing within the same TIELA sub-line, one primary pick plus three in-catalog alternatives (all independently checked for active status and real inventory on 2026-09-19):

• Primary: TIELA Perfume Therapy Body Scrub Pure 250g — same brand, same formula family, Lily & Musk scent instead of Bitter Orange & Wood; a softer, less citrus-forward option for rotating scents or gifting alongside this one. (In stock: 3 units.)
• Alternative 1: Dear Doer The Dazzling Body Scrub 100ml — a different brand's rinse-off physical exfoliant using suspended Vitis Vinifera (Grape) particles; useful as a travel-size or smaller-format alternative. (In stock: 5 units.)
• Alternative 2: Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Body Peel Shot 280ml — a gommage-style chemical-leaning exfoliant for anyone who wants a brightening-angle body exfoliant on non-scrub days (do not use same-day/same-area as this scrub). (In stock: 5 units.)
• Alternative 3: Laundryou Soft Body Glove Clean — a single-use, pre-soaked textured pad; a lighter, tool-based alternative for days you want gentle buffing without a full scrub session. (In stock: 25 units.)

This product contains no chemical actives (acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide), so it does not carry the same-lane active-on-active conflict warnings that apply to leave-on treatment products — the main compatibility rule is simply not stacking it with a same-day chemical body exfoliant on the same skin area.

MYTH: "Scrubbing harder or longer exfoliates better." REALITY: Physical exfoliation works from the granule contact and motion, not pressure — pressing hard mainly adds friction damage and micro-tears without removing more dead skin.

MYTH: "Body scrubs can be used daily for best results." REALITY: Daily mechanical exfoliation on the body outpaces the skin's ability to repair its surface barrier; 2-3x/week is the safe ceiling for most people.

DIY risk warning: homemade sugar-and-oil scrubs (a common social-media trend) skip the humectants and barrier lipids (Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ceramide NP) this formula includes — a plain kitchen-sugar-and-oil mix can leave skin more stripped, not less, especially in Mauritius's hard water.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region. Hard water can leave a mineral (calcium-stearate) film on skin after rinsing, which reads as tightness. This scrub's humectant base (Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate) helps offset some of that tight feeling, but a body moisturizer applied right after is still the more reliable fix if your area has notably hard water.

*Concentrations for Bifida Ferment Lysate and all other marketed actives were not disclosed by the brand in any source available during this research pass; evidence for its specific benefit claims in this exact formula is marketing-stated rather than independently clinically verified.

Full INCI list: A complete, brand-ordered INCI declaration for this exact product was not accessible during this research pass. WebFetch to every retailer and brand page we tried (Amazon, Nordstrom, StyleKorean, Hwahae, Ohlolly, Safo SkinCare, tielacosmetics.com) was blocked by this session's network egress proxy, so what's listed above reflects brand/retailer marketing copy aggregated across multiple independent WebSearch queries. That's repeated consistently enough across sources to treat as real brand-stated highlight ingredients, but it is not a verified ordered INCI list, so no "Estimated 1% Line" can honestly be drawn. If you have the physical packaging, the printed ingredient list there is the authoritative source.

The identity of the physical exfoliating particle itself (sugar crystals, salt, or another granule) was not stated by the brand in any source found — Sucrose appears in the ingredient highlights and is a plausible sugar-scrub base, but this description does not assert that as confirmed fact.

Fragrance status: Synthetic/blended Fragrance (Parfum) — this is explicitly a perfume-forward product, not a fragrance-free one.

Scent description: A three-note structure — bright orange bergamot with a touch of spice on top, fruity jasmine in the heart, settling into cedarwood and musk in the base. Overall reads citrus-floral-woody.

Intensity: Moderate-to-noticeable (4/5) while wet and immediately after use; dissipates to a light lingering trace over a few hours — this is a genuinely fragranced product by design, not a subtle one.

*Based on brand-declared marketing copy, not an ordered INCI. The term "Fragrance" or "Parfum" may contain undisclosed allergens from the EU 26 list. Patch test advised for anyone with a known fragrance allergy.

Alcohol disclosure: No alcohol ingredient was named in any source found; cannot confirm alcohol-free status with full certainty without an ordered INCI, but nothing in the available ingredient information suggests a drying alcohol is present.

Halal:* Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available ingredient information. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients were identified in what we could source for this product (the possible Milk Protein content, if confirmed, is a halal dairy-derived ingredient and does not itself raise a halal concern). This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan: Status unconfirmed — cannot be self-assessed as vegan-friendly this round. Sources conflict on one ingredient: this SKU's own Amazon retail listing title states "Milk Protein" (animal-derived, dairy), while other retailer summaries for the same product line describe "Hydrolyzed Pea Protein" (plant-derived). Until this is resolved with a confirmed ordered INCI, we are not applying a Vegan-Friendly badge to avoid a false claim either way.

Cruelty-free: No cruelty-free claim or third-party certification (Leaping Bunny, PETA) was found for TIELA in the research available this session. We are not stating a cruelty-free status either way rather than guessing.

Microplastic status: Likely microplastic-free — no synthetic exfoliating microbead ingredient (e.g. Polyethylene) appeared in any source checked — but this cannot be fully confirmed without an ordered INCI list.

MFDS classification: Treated as a General Cosmetic — no evidence of a Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Functional Cosmetic classification (which would require additional government-reviewed testing for a specific claim like whitening or wrinkle improvement) was found for this product.

Clinical evidence: No independent clinical study, sample size, or institution was found for this product or for the Bifida Ferment Lysate/Ceramide claims specifically in this formula.

*Evidence confidence for the marketed conditioning/vitality benefits: Marketing-Only. These are brand-stated benefit claims for the named ingredients, not results from a study on this specific finished formula.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional. Coconut Oil and Olive Oil are both established Malassezia-feeding ingredients at the chain-length/oleic-acid level. This is a rinse-off product with short skin contact time, which meaningfully lowers (but does not eliminate) the risk compared to a leave-on product with the same oils. If you have known fungal folliculitis on your chest or back, patch test a small area first.

Assessment: Not applicable in the traditional sense — this product is fully rinsed off before it could pill with any leave-on layer. The main texture consideration is granule size against skin, not layering compatibility.

Fresh product should look and smell consistent with its labeled scent (Bitter Orange & Wood / citrus-floral-woody) with an even, uniform paste texture. A change in color, a rancid or "off" smell (distinct from the intended fragrance), or visible separation that doesn't remix are all reasons to stop using it and discard.

Mauritius storage note: keep the container out of direct sun and away from prolonged bathroom heat/humidity buildup where possible — oils in the formula (Shea Butter, Olive Oil) are more prone to oxidizing faster in sustained heat, which can shorten the product's usable life versus cooler storage.

When in doubt, discard rather than continue using a scrub that smells or looks different from when you opened it.

Patch test: Apply a small amount to your inner forearm, leave for 24 hours, and check for redness, itching, or bumps before using it on larger areas — especially important given the unconfirmed full ingredient list and genuine fragrance load.

72-hour barrier reset: If you have an adverse reaction, stop all actives immediately. For 72 hours, use only a gentle cleanser, plain moisturizer, and mineral SPF on the affected area — no acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential-oil-heavy products. After 72 hours, reintroduce one product at a time, waiting 14 days between each.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care immediately and discontinue use.

1) Using it daily instead of 2-3x/week — over-exfoliates and damages the barrier without extra benefit. 2) Scrubbing on sunburned, freshly shaved, or broken skin — increases irritation risk significantly. 3) Skipping moisturizer afterward — undoes much of the softening benefit. 4) Applying to the face — this is formulated and marketed as a body product; facial skin is thinner and more reactive. 5) Pressing hard to "exfoliate more" — pressure doesn't increase exfoliation, it increases micro-tear risk.

Overuse threshold: more than 3x/week on the same area risks barrier damage, increased sensitivity, and in fungal-acne-prone individuals, potential breakout flare from the oil content's extended cumulative contact.

Usage math: At a walnut-to-golf-ball-size scoop (roughly 10-15g) per full-body session, a 250g jar holds approximately 16-25 full-body uses.

Lifespan: At the recommended 2-3x/week cadence, that's roughly 6-10 weeks per container. Using it more frequently than recommended shortens this without adding benefit — correct dosage and frequency extend the product's life without sacrificing results.

Reorder timing: Consider reordering about 2 weeks before you expect to run out, to allow for delivery time.

This scrub's job is to physically buff away rough, dead surface skin on the body 2-3x/week — it sits at the "exfoliation" step of a body-care routine, always followed by a moisturizer while skin is still damp.

PM routine: 1. Wet skin in the shower. 2. Massage in TIELA Perfume Therapy Body Scrub Shine for 30-60 seconds per area (2-3x/week only). 3. Rinse fully. 4. Pat dry. 5. Apply a body moisturizer within a few minutes while skin is still slightly damp.

If you are prone to fungal folliculitis on your chest/back: patch test this scrub on a small area first, or limit use to your arms and legs.

If you live somewhere with notably hard tap water: follow with a richer moisturizer than usual, since hard water residue plus fresh exfoliation can both add to a tight feeling.

If you also use a chemical body-peel product: don't scrub and peel the same area on the same day — alternate them across the week instead.

Stock-true option: pair with TIELA Perfume Therapy Body Scrub Pure 250g to rotate scents week to week, or as a gift set alongside this one — both confirmed in stock as of 2026-09-19.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with TIELA Perfume Therapy Body Scrub Shine, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

Strict catalog protocol: every option below was checked for real, current inventory via a live Shopify lookup on 2026-09-19, not just active status.

Primary alternative — same formula family, different scent: TIELA Perfume Therapy Body Scrub Pure 250g (Lily & Musk, 3 units in stock) shares the same brand-stated ingredient base as this Shine variant — the difference is fragrance profile, not formulation strength, so this is a scent preference decision rather than an efficacy trade-off.

Alternative 1 — chemical exfoliation instead of physical: Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Body Peel Shot 280ml (5 units in stock) swaps granule friction for a gommage-style acid gel with a brightening angle — gentler on thin or reactive skin, but without this product's fragrance-layer benefit.

Alternative 2 — a second chemical option: Medicube Hypochlorous Acid Body Peel Shot 280ml (9 units in stock) is a Carbomer-thickened gommage exfoliant for anyone avoiding Coconut Oil/Olive Oil (no fungal-acne-feeding oils in its marketed formula) — again, no fragrance-layer benefit.

Alternative 3 — smaller-format physical scrub: Dear Doer THE DAZZLING BODY SCRUB 100ml (5 units in stock) is a different brand's rinse-off physical exfoliant using suspended Vitis Vinifera (Grape) particles in a smaller 100ml jar — a lower-commitment or travel-size option if you want to try physical body exfoliation before committing to a full 250g jar.

Choose TIELA Perfume Therapy Body Scrub Shine over the Medicube peel-shot lines if you need a physical, felt-working exfoliation experience with a genuine perfumer-composed citrus-floral-woody fragrance layer left behind, rather than an unscented or lightly scented acid gel.

Upgrade triggers (IF/THEN): If you want a genuine fragrance layer left behind after the shower step, THEN this scrub does double duty as exfoliant and light body perfume. If you have confirmed fungal folliculitis on your chest or back, THEN the Medicube Hypochlorous Acid Body Peel Shot (no Coconut Oil/Olive Oil in its marketed formula) is the safer lane, not this scrub. If your skin is currently barrier-compromised (tight, flaky, stinging on moisturizer), THEN do not upgrade to either exfoliant yet — repair barrier first with a plain moisturizer for 1-2 weeks.

Timing and lane compatibility: this scrub and either Medicube peel shot occupy the same "exfoliation lane" — alternate which one you use on your 2-3x/week exfoliation days rather than using two exfoliants on the same day or area.

Don't upgrade to (or add) this scrub if: you already have active folliculitis on the treatment area; you're avoiding synthetic fragrance for sensitive skin; your barrier currently stings on plain moisturizer; you already use a chemical body-acid product daily and don't want to reduce its frequency to make room for a physical scrub too.

If you match 2 or more upgrade triggers above, THIS is worth choosing. If not, a chemical peel-shot alternative is sufficient and, for reactive or fungal-acne-prone skin, safer. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's PRIMARY function is: physical body exfoliation with a fragrance finish. You do NOT need this if you already own another body scrub you're actively using and haven't finished — finish your current product before purchasing, since exfoliants don't expire quickly enough to justify buying a second one to "have on hand."

Stacking assessment: No Benefit if you already own another physical body scrub of similar granule intensity (same mechanism, redundant). Marginal Benefit if you want scent variety within the same brand line (e.g., alongside the Pure variant). Significant Benefit if your current routine has no body exfoliation step at all.

No TIELA-specific counterfeit markers were identified during this research pass; standard verification (checking batch code presence, seal integrity on first opening, and consistent fragrance/texture against the description above) applies.

TIELA builds its identity around fragrance-led body-care rituals rather than clinical actives — the brand's own positioning leans on scent as the primary differentiator across its scrub and cream lines, layered over a fairly consistent supporting-ingredient base (humectants, barrier lipids, plant oils) across variants. It is distributed through mainstream K-beauty retail channels (StyleKorean, Olive Young Global's Hwahae ingredient index, Amazon, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's), which is a reasonable legitimacy signal even though we could not independently verify a formal brand history or founding date this session.

Community reviews for this specific product (the Shine variant) were not yet available in our research at the time of writing. WebFetch access to retailer and review pages (Amazon, StyleKorean, Hwahae, Reddit) was blocked in this research session, and WebSearch's own result snippets did not surface verbatim, attributable customer reviews for this exact SKU on Reddit, Amazon, or YesStyle. A brief search snippet referenced "at least one 5-star review" on StyleKorean, but for the Sunset variant of this product line, not Shine — we are not presenting that as evidence for this specific product.

Sustainability: We could not confirm this specific container's recyclability or refill program details this research pass; check the container itself for a recycling symbol, and rinse residue out before recycling where your local program accepts the material.

Can I use this on my face? No — it's formulated and marketed as a body scrub. Facial skin is thinner and more reactive; use a dedicated facial exfoliant instead.

Is it safe during pregnancy? Based on the ingredients we could verify, we found no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical UV filters in this formula. As with any fragranced product, if you're pregnant and have developed new sensitivities, patch test first or check with your care provider.

How often should I use it? 2-3 times per week is the recommended ceiling — daily use over-exfoliates the body's skin barrier without added benefit.

Does the scent last after showering? Based on the brand's three-note fragrance structure (citrus top, jasmine heart, woody-musk base), expect a light lingering trace for a few hours after rinsing rather than an all-day scent — we did not find independent longevity testing to confirm exact duration.

What is the exfoliating particle made of — sugar, salt, or beads? This was not stated by the brand in any source we could access. Sucrose appears among the brand-stated ingredients and is commonly used as the physical granule in sugar-scrub formats, but we cannot confirm that's what's used here without an ordered INCI or the physical packaging.

INCI

International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients — the standardized, ordered list of everything in a formula, required on packaging in most markets.

Humectant

An ingredient (like Glycerin or Sodium Hyaluronate) that draws and holds water at the skin's surface.

Emollient

An ingredient (like Shea Butter or Olive Oil) that softens skin by filling in surface gaps between skin cells.

Ceramide

A lipid naturally found in the skin's outer barrier; topical ceramides help replace what mechanical exfoliation or environmental stress removes.

Bifida Ferment Lysate

A postbiotic ingredient derived from fermenting Bifidobacterium — a beneficial metabolite, not a live probiotic.

Fungal Acne (Malassezia folliculitis)

Small, itchy, uniform bumps caused by yeast overgrowth in hair follicles, often worsened by certain fatty-acid-rich oils like coconut and olive oil.

Fairy Dusting

Marketing practice of including a trendy ingredient at a trace, likely sub-effective concentration mainly for the ingredient-list appeal.

MFDS

Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety — the regulator that classifies cosmetics as "General" or "Functional" (the latter requiring extra testing for specific claims).

PAO (Period After Opening)

The number of months a product is safe/effective to use after first opening, usually shown as a jar symbol with a number and "M" (e.g. "12M").

Source of Truth: This is a quick snapshot. If anything differs, the policy pages are final.

Store Policies: For the most up-to-date information, please review our Shipping Policy and Refund Policy.

Best for: anyone who wants a two-in-one body scrub — real physical exfoliation plus a genuine, lingering perfumer-composed scent — and who doesn't have a known fungal-acne sensitivity to coconut/olive oil or a fragrance allergy.

Key benefits: a humectant-and-barrier-lipid base (Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ceramide NP) that cushions the scrub action better than a plain sugar-and-oil DIY mix; a real three-note fragrance structure rather than a single flat scent note; formulated specifically for the body, so it's not competing with a facial routine.

Keep in mind: we could not verify a full, ordered INCI list or any concentration/pH data for this exact product in this research pass; the protein ingredient (milk- vs. plant-derived) is unresolved, so we're not calling this vegan-friendly; and this is a genuinely fragranced product, not a fragrance-free one.

Assessment: Not Suitable during active cancer treatment.

This product is a synthetic-fragrance-forward formula, and fragranced products are commonly advised against for skin undergoing active chemotherapy or radiation treatment, since treatment-sensitized skin is more prone to irritation from fragrance than baseline skin. We did not find a treatment-specific study on this exact product — this is general oncology-esthetics guidance applied to a fragranced formula, not a claim specific to this SKU.

Consult your oncology care team before introducing any new skincare products during treatment.

Impact: Neutral to Supportive.

This is a POSTBIOTIC ingredient (Bifida Ferment Lysate) — beneficial metabolites from fermentation. You are not applying live bacteria. If you notice a faint yeasty or fermented note on top of the fragrance, that is normal for ferment-derived ingredients and does not indicate spoilage; if the scent turns rancid rather than yeasty, that is a spoilage sign, not a ferment characteristic.
