Body polish (sometimes referred to as polishing salt/sugar or emulisified scrub) acts as a lotion, a scrub, and a soap as an all in one. The salt is emulsified, so it leaves much less of a oily film on the shower floor. Also, because it is emulisified, it's a much gentler exfoliant. This product contains dead sea salt and is not suitable for skin inflammations such as eczema or psoriasis.
