LEPAAR - Mandarin Mecca Coffee Scrub - Lustre Restoring Body + Face Exfoliant

A luxuriously complex, non-abrasive scrub for skin on thighs, buttocks and face. Made with used coffee grounds—the beautifully fragrant, velvet-soft byproduct typically discarded after brewing. At Lepaar they get their coffee grounds from Australian artisan coffee roaster, their BBF and @meccacoffee owner Paul Geshos.

The small amount of residual caffeine in the grounds offers a milder alternative to traditional coffee scrubs. Formulated with soft-textured coconut sugar instead of coarse brown sugar, this scrub is gentle enough for both face and body.

Skin Type: For women and men of all skin types. Benefits dry, flaky, mature, acne prone + and sensitive skin.

Fragrance Profile: A Middle Eastern journey through the streets of Mecca, fragrant with chocolate Mocca, enlivened with notes of sweet mandarin, hints of lemongrass and softening caramel. A 1001 night sensory dream.

Amount of Essential Oils in this compositions: High (3%)

Lepaar crafts all extracts by sun-infusing whole plant material into early-harvest, virgin cold-pressed biodynamic olive oil. The first harvest of unripe olives produces an exceptionally nutrient-rich oil with a remarkably high phenolic content, which naturally stabilises and preserves both the extracts and the skin.

Using this ancient method of bioactive botanical extraction, Lepaar co-infuses all botanicals in each composition together, allowing them to commune and synergise—enhancing one another’s potency and bioavailability.

Each plant component is selected for its specific purpose and its intrinsic connection to other compounds. Growing evidence supports that synergistic whole-plant extracts are far more effective than isolated single components.

I like to do this once a week, and, as usual with Lepaar compositions, you only need little – a 10ml amount, approximately the size of a small chestnut, is heaps.

BODY SCRUB: Run the shower, grab a chestnut size piece of scrub, hop under the shower to get your body and face wet and start by gently by massaging the scrub into thighs and butt, increase to a vigorous rub in circular motion.

FACE EXFOLIATION: Wet your face and massage a hazelnut size amount into the skin for a few minutes. Rinse, dry, moisturise with PRECIOUS FACE OIL.

One 215ml jar holds about 15 applications for body + face, about 30 for face only.
