The Foaming Body Scrub

What makes AKT’s Foaming Body Scrub different from other scrubs?

This is no ordinary scrub. Think of it as a carefully choreographed performance of exfoliation and skin care. We combine finely milled rice and sugar particles to gently polish the skin’s surface, while naturally derived papaya enzymes help lift away

How often should I use the Foaming Body Scrub?

One to two times a week is ideal. It’s a deeper exfoliation, so how often you use it will depend on your skin type and preference. Used regularly, it helps keep skin feeling smooth, polished, and ready for its next performance.

Will the scrub dry out my skin?

No — it’s designed to exfoliate and nourish in equal measure. Alongside gentle physical and enzymatic exfoliants, the formula includes skin-conditioning plant oils like linseed and borage, chosen for their moisturising and softening properties. The r

Can I use it on my face?

We wouldn’t recommend it. The exfoliating grains are designed specifically for the body and may be too robust for delicate facial skin. Best to keep this one centre stage — from neck to toe.

Can I use the scrub on sensitive skin?

Many people with sensitive skin enjoy using the Foaming Body Scrub, as it’s formulated to exfoliate while remaining gentle on the body. The exfoliating particles are naturally derived and designed to smooth the skin without feeling harsh, while the b

Does it lather like a body wash?

Yes — beautifully. When you add water, the scrub transforms into a creamy, foaming lather that spreads easily and rinses clean, with no gritty residue left behind. What remains is skin that feels smooth and refreshed, with the subtle scent of your ch

Is the scrub suitable for all skin types?

The Foaming Body Scrub is formulated to be suitable for a wide range of skin types — from dry to oily and everything in between. As with any exfoliating product, how often you use it should be guided by your own skin. If your skin is sensitive or rea

Can I use it before shaving?

Yes — it’s a great pre-shave step. Exfoliating beforehand helps remove dead skin and smooth the surface, which can support a closer, more comfortable shave. Use the scrub just before shaving, rinse thoroughly, then follow with your usual shaving rout

Is the packaging recyclable?

Yes. The Foaming Body Scrub is packaged in glass and aluminium — both widely recyclable materials. As ever, it’s part of our commitment to doing things responsibly, without compromising on performance.

What does it smell like?

The Foaming Body Scrub is available in two of our iconic, gender-inclusive scenes:. SC.01 Orange Grove — Fresh, bright and uplifting. A zesty burst of petitgrain, mandarin, and neroli to energise your morning. SC.02 After Thunder — Deep, earthy and g

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Always. All AKT products are proudly vegan and cruelty-free — with no animal-derived ingredients. Tested on dancers. Never on animals.

Can I use this with other AKT products?

Absolutely. Start with the Foaming Body Scrub, follow with The Body Wash Concentrate, and finish with The Body Conditioning Balm for deep hydration. It’s a complete performance of skin care and scent layering — and you’re the star of the show.

How much should I use per application?

A generous scoop is plenty. For a more intense exfoliation, use a little less water. For a quicker, lighter polish, add more. And a tip from Ed: “I like to leave it on for a minute once the scrub has melted into a lather — it just makes the whole rit
