Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Oatmeal Body Scrub 12 oz — Gentle Exfoliant & 24H Shea Moisture for Melanin-Rich Skin

SheaMoisture’s Manuka Honey & Oatmeal Smooth & Exfoliating Body Scrub is a 12 oz, 97% naturally derived exfoliant formulated with Manuka honey, oatmeal, oat milk and fair trade shea butter to soften and smooth melanin-rich skin while providing 24-hour shea moisture nutrients.

This rich body scrub blends gentle physical exfoliants with plant-based moisturizers to refine uneven texture and leave skin feeling softer without stripping natural oils. Designed with melanin-rich skin in mind, the formula combines Manuka honey’s humectant qualities, ground oatmeal for calming mechanical exfoliation, and oat milk to support a smoother skin surface. Free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and petrolatum, it’s a routine-friendly scrub that works best when paired with other products from the SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Oatmeal Collection.

How quickly will I notice smoother skin?

Many users feel an immediate difference after the first use: rough patches become softer and skin texture appears more even. Continued, regular use (1–3 times weekly depending on sensitivity) helps maintain a smoother surface and clearer skin tone over time.

• Visible softening after one exfoliation.
• Improved texture with weekly use.
• Gentle enough for multi-week routine when not used daily.

What ingredients make it suitable for melanin-rich skin?

The formula pairs Manuka honey and oat-based ingredients with fair trade shea butter to hydrate while exfoliating—ingredients chosen to minimize irritation and support barrier health. It avoids harsh sulfates and synthetic irritants that can aggravate pigment-prone skin.

• Manuka honey: humectant properties help retain moisture.
• Oatmeal and oat milk: soothing, gentle physical exfoliation.
• Fair trade shea butter: provides nourishing lipids for 24-hour moisture.

How should I use this scrub for best results?

Apply to wet skin in the shower, gently massaging in circular motions focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a body cleanser and a rich moisturizer or the matching SheaMoisture body lotion to lock in hydration.

• Use 1–3 times per week depending on skin sensitivity.
• Massage in gentle circles; avoid broken skin.
• Follow with a moisturizer or other items from the Manuka Honey & Oatmeal line.

Is this product clean-formula and safe for regular use?

The scrub is 97% naturally derived and formulated without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, or petrolatum. While it’s crafted to be gentle, patch testing is recommended for sensitive skin and avoid applying to irritated or damaged skin.

• 97% naturally derived ingredients.
