Top features

ScentWatermelon with vanilla and shea butter base
Scent IntensityModerate; fruity-gourmand, fades in 2–4 hours
TextureGranulated sugar scrub with shea butter

Scent: Watermelon with bright, fruity top notes balanced by subtle vanilla and shea butter warmth. A playful, summery gourmand fragrance — more candy-like than realistic fruit.

Texture & Feel: Smooth, granulated sugar scrub base with shea butter and essential oils. Creamy, not gritty; exfoliates gently while hydrating. Absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft and lightly moisturized without greasiness.

Key Actives: Shea butter (nourish & soften), sugar granules (mechanical exfoliation), essential oils (light fragrance & aromatherapy finish).

Finish: Powdery-smooth; scent lingers 2–4 hours on skin. Leaves a subtle non-greasy residue.

Size & Price: 18 oz at $0.50/oz (or $0.47/oz with Subscribe & Save) — strong value for a branded body scrub with real moisturizing actives.

Who It's For: All skin types, especially those seeking a playful, affordable scented exfoliating body product with genuine hydration. Fans of gourmand scents and Tree Hut's beloved Coco Colada and Bare Sugar lines.
