Not last year in a factory somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOrganic espresso coffee grounds provide the exfoliation — finely textured, physically lifting away the day's grime while the brew beneath them works.

It bridges the dark earthen base and the sharp herbal top with a richness that makes the whole blend cohere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGeranium essential oil rounds out the blend — a soft floral note that keeps the scent balanced despite the depth of everything around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDead Sea mud is the mineral foundation beneath everything — ancient seabed sediment carrying minerals not found in ordinary mud, including magnesium, calcium, potassium, and bromide.
