Natural & organic? Entirely natural with organic ingredients. Most brands would happily say 100%. Proverb means truth. All emulsions made in the UK have to have a preservative. We use the organic certification allowed preservative dehydroacetic acid. Although you are allowed to label it natural it isn’t truly. There is 0.6% in the bottle as legally required.

Our dedication to natural & organic Greenwashing brands pretending to be natural, is rife and only getting worse. We will only ever tell you the truth about our ingredients, the sources and which elements are natural, organic or the legal required preservatives. We formulate with painstaking dedication to this mantra for your health but also as it ensures the elite grown version of each ingredient.

Made in England? Yes, formulated and made in England where our headquarters are. Ingredients are sourced sustainably from around the world. Lifefuelled humans using the products globally.

In vitro & in vivo lab proven actives? Yes, we have selected many active ingredients with strong in vitro and in vivo testing results for the individual ingredients. Combining this with researching the source, origins and ethics of each ingredient.

‘Clean’ brands tend to be younger and newer to market and thus don’t usually invest the large amount of funds needed to clinically trial products to prove results in an independent lab. Not us; we are firmly committed to do this as the clean, organic and natural sector has to prove it works. As we grow the brand, we will grow the investment into clinical testing as a priority but below are our test results so far!

Dermatological testing This scrub along with all Proverb skincare has been successfully Dermatologically tested.

Lab proven results We have not clinically trialled the scrub as a full formula as it is a wash off product. Instead we chose superfood based ingredients with impressive nutritional profiles. This isn’t usually the case as most formulations leave out the good stuff in wash of products.

Omega 7 We chose Seabuckthorn due to its nutritional profile, not to mention the serious shade of orange. Containing over 190 nutrients and phytonutrients including vitamin C at a 12 x higher level than an orange. Hence, it’s new place as a superfood. Rich in carotenoids, phenols and glucoside, vitamin A, C, E and beta- carotene. The seed oil part comprises of unsaturated essential fatty acids including Linoleic and Linolenic acids, while the pulp oil unsaturated essential fatty acids, carotenoids and vitamin E. Exfoliants shouldn’t just be about sloughing off dead skin you should be using your time scrubbing to replenish and feed your new skin cells too.

Superfood Avocado & Coconut Blended ground coconut shell to remove dead skin cells and invigorate your skin aiding skin cell regeneration. Alongside blitzed avocado stones, the powerhouse of this anti-oxidant rich ingredient and a super use of something normally just thrown in the bin. Wake up your face.

Inca Inchi Oil With an Omega 3 content like no other and ARGAN OIL with its exceptional content of unsaturated fatty acids help restore the hydro-lipidic film of the skin, strengthening the barrier function of your fresh newly revealed skin cells

Your skin should feel immediately invigorated and energised. It should look and feel smoother.

We would expect within the first few weeks that your skin will look brighter, with a more even skin tone.

If you are combining the scrub with Proverb serums and moisturisers it will help their penetration into newer skin cells, so that overall, you should see an improvement in your skin condition.

Remember as your skin cycle is approximately 28 days when you change to any new skincare you should commit to 4 weeks to ensure your skin likes it.

A dark, dense gloopy texture that spreads when it hits the skin and water and disperses all the thousands of tiny but strong, firm grains. This is a firm physical facial scrub so you don’t need to apply much pressure when using it. You can also use it on the body.

Smells so good you want to eat it and you can technically! Citrus tones of bergamot, lemon peel and both sweet and bitter orange made more interesting with a unique blend of basil, thyme and mountain pepper so it is never too sweet.
