Persephone, Returned Sorbetto Emulsifying Sugar Scrub

Garnet red pomegranate in a thick haze of agarwood smoke, wreathed with wild roses and creamy pink carnations

Being the Queen of the Underworld for half the year makes coming home in spring more than a little fraught. Demeter is, of course, DELIGHTED, fluttering around and making things bloom that have no business being in flower so early in the year. She's made a blowsy crown of roses and carnations, which she scrunches down over Persephone's dark curls. "Mom. MOM. STOP IT. Can you please NOT?" Persephone is glad to be back in the light, but she'd forgotten how intense her mother could be at the start of the year. And, to her own surprise, she sort of... misses Captain Emo. Lord of the Abyss. Hades. Whatever. He leaves her alone, by & large, but when he does talk to her, he seems genuinely interested in life above ground, and went to pains to make sure the hellhounds didn't get up on her throne without asking. She picks a loose petal out of her bangs, and covertly sniffs the black winding sheet she'd swiped from his throne as she was leaving. It was bitter & smoky, and yet strangely comforting.

Sorbetto is a delightfully malleable, scoopable sugar scrub fortified with nourishing rice bran, sweet almond & grape seed oils & luxurious mango butter. Massaged into wet skin, it emulsifies into a light, creamy lotion that gently cleanses, polishes & moisturizes, leaving you feeling deliciously soft & smelling wonderful.

This listing is for a generous 10 ounces of emulsifying sugar scrub, blended by hand in small batches with no SLS/SLES, parabens, propylene glycol, -cones, animal products, coconut oil or shea butter (for my sensitive customers). Most of my fragrances are phthalate-free, too! I don't whip my scrubs, so you get a jar packed with product, not air.

I pack Sorbetto in a recyclable plastic jar, with all ingredients clearly labeled for your peace of mind:

Sucrose (Sugar), Glycerin, Aqua (Water), Sorbitol, Sodium Cocoyl/Lauroyl Isethionate, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Persea Americana (Avocado) Oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Fragrance Oil, Sodium Chloride (Salt), Levulinic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Mica

Since I work in small batches, you may notice slight variations in color from jar to jar.

To prolong the life of your Sorbetto, keep it tightly sealed & avoid introducing excess water to the jar. A clean plastic spoon is ideal for scooping out just the right amount.

Please use Sorbetto within 3 months of opening, & discontinue use if irritation occurs. I specifically blend Sorbetto not leave a greasy film, but it may leave your tub a bit slippery, so do be careful.

Scrub up!
