"SKIN SCRUB COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR

ASSOCIATED SCRUB "

  The present invention relates to a composition for exfoliating the epidermis. It also relates to a method of exfoliation of the epidermis using this composition. This scrub composition and the method associated with it are part of the treatments

body for aesthetic purposes.

  Exfoliation of the epidermis constitutes an important body treatment since it aims to eliminate dead cells

  at the level of the epidermis and to unclog the impurities.

  To make an exfoliation of the epidermis, numerous methods and compositions are currently proposed. Document FR2721210 discloses, for example, a skin cleansing composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion. This emulsion comprises an emulsifier with a hydrophilic / lipophilic balance less than

  12 and lipid grains containing a cleaning active.

  This composition allows both cleaning,

scrub and skin care.

  One can also cite the document FR2480120 which discloses a lotion allowing an exfoliation of the epidermis

  before applying medical or beauty treatment.

  This lotion implements an emulsion of natural fatty substances: beeswax, paraffin and petrolatum which is

stabilized by pure starch.

  The aim of the present invention is to propose a new exfoliation composition which offers a higher exfoliation efficiency than that of current exfoliation compositions while providing better comfort for the

person subject to this scrub.

  The scrub composition according to the invention is produced from a mixture of oyster shell mash, fruit mash, for example

apricot, and olive oil.

  - 2 - The scrub composition according to the invention preferably further comprises ground herbs of an aromatic plant, in particular a ground rosemary, a ground lavender in

  flower, a crush of juniper berries.

  The crushed oyster shell provides an exfoliating effect which helps to rid the epidermis of the most important impurities. The crushed fruit kernel, which has a much smaller particle size than that of the crushed oyster shell, contributes to a superficial scaling of the epidermis. In addition, olive oil is a support medium for crushed oyster shells and fruit kernels and an effective and natural means of access by absorption within the epidermis. Olive oil is also a suitable carrier for essential aromatic plant oils and allows

  absorption of these essential oils by the skin.

  The scrub composition according to the invention also advantageously comprises essential oil of

lavender.

  A first example of a gumming composition according to the invention is for example made from the following ingredients: - 10 g of oyster shell mash, - 10 g of apricot kernel mash, - 30 g of ground rosemary, - 30 g of crushed lavender in flowers, - 20 g of crushed juniper berry, - 50 ml of pure lavender essential oil, - 80 cl of organic olive oil obtained by

first cold pressing.

  It should be noted that rosemary contributes to the exfoliation composition according to the invention as an antiseptic, healing, general stimulant,

  de-stressing, anti-inflammatory and sedative.

  - 3 - The crushed oyster shell contributes to the

  shine and luminosity of the complexion.

  The apricot kernel crushed allows a gentle exfoliation. Lavender is a powerful antiseptic and healing, calming, antispasmodic and diuretic. Lavender is used for its properties of powerful antiseptic and healing, calming,

  antispasmodic and diuretic.

  Juniper berry has interesting depurative, diuretic and stimulant properties

  gastric in case of slow digestion.

  Lavender essential oil helps to flavor and perfume the scrub composition according to the invention. A second example of a gumming composition according to the invention comprises: - 50 g of crushed rosemary, - 25 g of oyster shell mash, - 200 g of apricot kernel powder, - 50 g of crushed lavender, - 25 g of crushed juniper berry, - 100 ml of pure lavender essential oil,

- 1 1 of organic olive oil.

  The maceration time of the exfoliation composition according to the invention is for example one day. No preservatives or additives are used. It should be noted that the proportions mentioned in the two aforementioned examples of composition can be appreciably modulated around the reference values without going beyond

of the scope of the present invention.

  The scrub composition according to the invention is

  used directly by hand on bare skin.

  For the dorsal part of the body, the exfoliation composition according to the invention is applied in circular movements from the soles of the feet to the base of the 4 - neck. For the ventral part of the body, we renew

this application.

  Then add sufficient oil to the massage so that the skin absorbs the essential oils contained in the olive oil. The exfoliation composition is then left to sit on the skin for approximately twenty minutes and the

body of a sheet.

  The exfoliation composition is then removed by rubbing vigorously with a cloth in order to rid the body of all seeds of aromatic plants. The skin is preferably left without rinsing in order to leave

act essential oils.

  Of course, the invention is not limited to the example which has just been described and numerous modifications can be made to these examples without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the relative proportions of the various ingredients used in the scrub composition according to the invention can be varied considerably. Other aromatic plants than those described can also be used. The maceration time can also be adjusted around the duration

  recommended twenty four hours.
