St. Ives Smoothing In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish, Mineral Therapy Review

When I bought St. Ives Mineral Therapy Body Wash I got two for one. I chose St. Ives Smoothing In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish, Mineral Therapy as my second product which retails for $7.99 for an 8 ounce tub.

The name gives this product a lot to live up to and it does a decent job. It has natural sugar crystals and a mineral blend which is supposed to gently exfoliate and clean the skin. In fact it is very gentle. Rather than having large pieces which scrub your skin  St. Ives Smoothing In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish, Mineral Therapy has tiny almost hard to feel little crystals.

I was very conscious of it today knowing I would be reviewing this Body Polish. It comes in a tub and is a solid piece which when I put my pouf in lathers up really nicely. St. Ives Smoothing In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish, Mineral Therapy rinses off easily and leaves my skin feeling soft.  

St. Ives Smoothing In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish, Mineral Therapy has a pleasant smell. It doesn't smell flowery - just pleasant. This product is not tested on animals and is made in the U.S.A. I do have a concern and that is one ingredient - Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate. This is an ingredient I try to avoid and would not buy it again because of SLS which can cause problems in some people although I don't have a problem with it. I just would rather not have it on or in me. I think the final product is not tested on animals but certainly that ingredient is or has been.

Since many people don't care about SLS I will recommend it for those who want a gentle exfoliating body polish/wash but I would only consider it average.
