Susanne Kaufmann Refining Scalp & Body Scrub

Susanne Kaufmann Refining Scalp & Body Scrub

A nourishing dual-purpose exfoliator that gently removes dry surface cells and product build-up to reveal smoother body skin and a refreshed, more comfortable scalp.

Susanne Kaufmann Refining Scalp & Body Scrub brings the benefits of physical exfoliation to the body and scalp in one beautifully sensorial formula. Natural apricot seed and black currant seed powders gently lift away dull surface cells, rough texture and accumulated residue without relying on exfoliating acids.

Unlike a traditional salt or sugar scrub, its exfoliating particles are suspended in a replenishing base of rapeseed, sunflower and apricot kernel oils. The oil-rich texture cushions the exfoliation and helps leave the skin feeling soft, conditioned and supple rather than stripped.

Used on the body, it polishes areas of roughness and prepares the skin for moisturizer. Used on the scalp, it helps loosen visible flakes and styling-product residue before cleansing.

Benefits:

• Gently exfoliates both the scalp and body
• Helps remove dull surface cells and product build-up
• Smooths rough, uneven-feeling body skin
• Helps loosen visible flakes and residue on the scalp
• Leaves the skin feeling polished, soft and conditioned
• Nourishes with rapeseed, sunflower and apricot kernel oils
• Prepares the body for more even moisturizer application
• Offers two complementary uses in one formula

Best For:

• Dry, rough or dull-looking body skin
• Visible scalp flakes and product build-up
• Skin that feels uneven or textured
• Rough elbows, knees and heels
• Scalp care before shampooing
• Preparing the body for moisturizer or body oil
• Anyone who finds conventional body scrubs too drying

Why It Is Different:

Many physical scrubs exfoliate effectively but leave dry skin feeling tight or depleted. Refining Scalp & Body Scrub balances exfoliation with nourishment by surrounding its natural seed powders in a concentrated plant-oil base.

Apricot seed and black currant seed powders provide the polishing action, while rapeseed, sunflower and apricot kernel oils soften and replenish the skin. This creates a more cushioned exfoliating experience suitable for both the body and scalp.

Because it is an oil-based physical exfoliator, it does not cleanse like a shampoo or body wash. It should be rinsed thoroughly and followed with cleansing when used on the scalp.

How It Works:

Physically exfoliates: Apricot seed and black currant seed powders help loosen dry surface cells and accumulated residue through gentle massage.

Replenishes: Rapeseed, sunflower and apricot kernel oils supply emollient lipids that soften the skin and counter the dry feeling sometimes associated with exfoliation.

Conditions: Vitamin E, echium oil and sunflower-derived lipids help support a smooth, comfortable finish.

Prepares: Removing excess surface build-up allows body moisturizer to spread more evenly and leaves the scalp ready for cleansing.

Texture and Fragrance:

The scrub has a rich, oil-based texture with fine natural exfoliating particles. As it is massaged over damp skin, the oils provide slip while the seed powders gently polish the surface.

Its fragrance is fresh and lightly citrusy, making the ritual feel clean and invigorating without losing Susanne Kaufmann’s grounding, botanical character.

How to Use:

For the body:

1. Apply to damp skin while bathing or showering.
2. Massage gently using circular motions.
3. Concentrate on areas prone to roughness, including the elbows, knees and heels.
4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
5. Follow with Susanne Kaufmann Body Butter or Body Butter for the Senses.

For the scalp:

1. Wet the hair and scalp thoroughly.
2. Part the hair and apply a small amount directly to the scalp.
3. Massage gently with the pads of the fingertips—never the nails.
4. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Follow with shampoo to remove loosened residue and excess oil.

Avoid applying to broken, inflamed or freshly shaved skin. Do not use on the face.

The Complete Body Ritual:

1. Massage Refining Scalp & Body Scrub over damp body skin.
2. Rinse thoroughly and cleanse with Susanne Kaufmann Body Wash.
3. Gently pat the body dry, leaving the skin slightly damp.
4. Apply Body Butter for intensive nourishment.
5. Choose Body Butter for the Senses when you want the matching aromatic evening ritual.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation:

The magic of this scrub is its oil-rich texture: allow it to do the work without pressing aggressively. Gentle, slow movements will polish the skin while preserving comfort.

Begin with once-weekly use. For the scalp, use it before shampooing when you notice visible flakes or styling-product build-up—not every time you wash your hair. If your scalp is inflamed, very sensitive or experiencing an active skin condition, skip physical exfoliation until it has settled.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Susanne Kaufmann Refining Scalp & Body Scrub?

It is a dual-purpose physical exfoliator for the scalp and body. Apricot seed and black currant seed powders help remove dry surface cells and build-up, while botanical oils leave the skin feeling soft and conditioned.

How do I use Refining Scalp & Body Scrub on my scalp?

Apply a small amount to a thoroughly wet scalp and massage gently with the pads of your fingertips. Rinse well and follow with shampoo to remove loosened residue and excess oil.

Should I use this scalp scrub before or after shampooing?

Use it before shampooing. The scrub helps loosen visible flakes and styling-product residue, while shampoo removes the exfoliated material and remaining oil.

How often should I use it?

Loshen & Crem recommends beginning once weekly. Frequency can be adjusted according to your skin, scalp and use of styling products, but aggressive or excessive physical exfoliation should be avoided.

Is it suitable for a sensitive scalp?

A sensitive scalp may not tolerate physical exfoliation. Use very light pressure and avoid the product entirely if the scalp is inflamed, broken, irritated or experiencing an active flare.

Can it be used on dry body skin?

Yes. Its exfoliating powders are suspended in a nourishing plant-oil base, making it especially appealing when dry skin needs smoothing without the stripped feeling associated with some traditional scrubs.

Can I use it on my face?

No. It is formulated for the scalp and body. The physical particles may be too abrasive for delicate facial skin.

Does it replace shampoo or body wash?

No. It exfoliates rather than cleanses. Follow with shampoo when using it on the scalp. On the body, it may be followed with Body Wash if desired.

What should I apply after using the scrub?

Apply Susanne Kaufmann Body Butter for intensive everyday nourishment or Body Butter for the Senses for the same moisturizing benefits with a warmer, grounding fragrance.
