What does 'shimmer' mean in this coconut body scrub, and what effect should I expect after rinsing?

This is first a mechanical body scrub: fine scrub particles lift dead cells from the top layer of the skin. That is what makes rough patches on elbows, knees or other dry areas feel smoother and look more even. The 'shimmer' comes on top of that: light-reflecting particles give the skin a soft, polished sheen after you rinse. It is not a dense glitter effect and it does not change skin tone; it is more like a subtle highlight on arms, shoulders and legs.

The other ingredients support the feeling after exfoliation. Squalane is an emollient, so it gives the product a smoother slip during massage and helps soften the tight, stripped feeling that mechanical scrubs can leave. Watermelon in body cosmetics is included mainly for its fresh, juicy character and for components that help maintain moisture on the skin's surface. The coconut notes make the product smell warm and indulgent while you use it.

What you should not expect: the smoothness and glow are a surface finish, not a permanent change in skin condition. If you want to keep the skin feeling comfortable, follow with a lotion or body oil after rinsing and patting dry. As with any body scrub, do not use it on irritated or damaged skin and keep it away from the eye area.
