What are the exfoliating particles in this scrub, and why does it use three different ones?

The scrub relies on three physical exfoliants that behave differently on the skin. Cane sugar gives the gentlest polishing action: its particles help loosen the top layer of dry flakes without much pressure. Himalayan pink salt works more thoroughly, providing the firmer buffing that rough areas such as elbows, knees and lower legs usually need. Red clay is not abrasive in the same way — it adds an absorbent element that helps lift excess sebum and surface impurities, which is why the scrub feels cleansing as well as smoothing rather than only mechanical.

Using several materials together means the polishing effect is fuller but the after-feel is less harsh than with a single coarse abrasive. The formula is also oil-rich: peach extract adds a softening botanical element, and plant oils help reduce the tight, stripped feeling some scrubs leave after rinsing. In practice that means many people find the skin comfortable enough afterwards to skip a separate body cream, though applying one is still a reasonable habit if your skin runs dry — freshly exfoliated skin generally takes in moisturisers well.

Note that this is a body product with a mechanical exfoliating action, so it is not meant for the face, where the skin is thinner and usually needs milder exfoliation.
