Hydrating. Exfoliating. Made with papaya extract, avocado seeds, grapeseed oil and salicylic acid. Cleans and exfoliates skin AND hydrates unlike any other scrub. Has salicylic acid to open clogged pores and fight acne. Most face scrubs are made with harmful non biodegradable micro-beads that hurt marine life. Our scrub is made with 100% natural eco-friendly exfoliants.

*Size: 2 oz / 59 mL

Directions: Wet face, apply half of a teaspoon of scrub onto face (can also be used for body) and gently exfoliate morning and night. Scrub for 30-60 seconds, then rinse completely. For all skin types, use 1-2 times per week. Scrub should last about 3-4 months but can be kept in fridge to extend life. In very humid climates shelf life can be 2-3 months. 

Why I created this product: Having combination skin I needed a exfoliating daily face scrub but found most natural face scrubs were too harsh and dry for my skin. Other non-organic scrubs contained harmful micro-beads that were eventually ingested by marine life. I wanted to create a product that was healthy for my skin and supportive of our environment.   

Ingredients: Papaya extract, ground avocado seeds, grapeseed oil, natural soap, salicylic acid, leucidal, green tea extract, honey, wild oat protein, lavender oil.

Have to say this scrub is a "meh" for me

Have to say this scrub is a "meh" for me. It is dry and crumbly, like an over baked cookie, and the avocado pit "microbeads" are huge and too abrasive for my older, sensitive skin. Feels more like a body scrub than face scrub, and so I will use it for that. Returns are always such a hassle, and I like everything else I've ordered from you, so will try something else next time.

I love Papaya Face Glow

I have been using Papaya Face Glow for several years. I personally can't live without it. I never had breakouts but I love the way it makes my skin feel. I think all the products make ones face glow. My landlord started using Sweetwater Labs products from a sample I was sent. Her friends noticed immediately that her skin changed. Her granddaughter, just turned 12, who steals my samples, loves the products. Her Mom even noticed and asked what she was doing because her face glowed.

Wonderful

I love the papaya face glow! I use it several times a week. It helps with breakouts and just gets off everyday grime from the face. Leaves my face feeling clean and smooth.

The best exfoliant out there!

I have tried many face scrubs and I tried this scrub during the holidays. I bought the sample size at the holiday market to try it out. And it is now my go to face scrub. It does what it was created to do and leaves my face feeling soft and clean. I have less breakouts and less build up around my clogged areas. Now buying the regular size! Definitely continuing to use!

Gentle on my sensitive skin

This face scrub is so gentle I use it 4 times a week. I love how soft and smooth my skin feels after. This product would be perfect if it didn’t leave a slight residue that shows up on the face pads when following up with the rose water/ aloe toner mist. But aside from that I love!

Leaves my face so soft

Love this product. Received it as a sample with my order and love it. It smells great. Hydrates well without leaving behind a residue. Rinses easily and leaves my skin so soft. I will be ordering it as my new cleanser.

Magical

I purchased the papaya face glow on a whim and I'm so glad I did! I used to have bad cystic acne on my back & shoulders and used this and it went away. I had been to dermatologists and tried all kinds of prescription topicals, and this is the only thing that helped. Thank you!

Favorite Scrub!!!

I have been a member of so many beauty box subscriptions etc., so I have tried my fair share of scrubs. This one blows them all away. My experience with scrubs is, either they’re like sandpaper, ripping off more skin tissue than you are likely to regrow, or they are closer to a lotion with no identifiable exfoliating aspects unless you get rather aggressive with a sponge. This one is an actual scrub that is gentler to the skin than microdermabrasion while giving me similar results. Along with the vitamin serum, it’s one of the best products I’ve ever tried.

This scrub is absolutely amazing. I use such a small amount for my WHOLE face and I have already noticed a difference in the texture of my skin and a reduced amount of breakouts. I couple this with their Rose oil to moisturize after washing my face. My skin is smooth, and the product is so light on the skin yet feels like it digs deep enough after every use. Love it. 5 stars.

Great for face and hair

I'm a balding man, and at first, my wife showed me this scrub and instructed that I use it on my face. Now, if you or someone you know is bald or balding, you know that skincare for your scalp is just as important as your face. So I tried using this on my head as well and what I've experienced is pretty great. Not only does this exfoliate your skin, it moisturizes your hair unlike any other product I've tried. And my hair is notoriously dry since I've started shedding. Anyways, yeah, highly recommend for your face and just your skin in general, but also try it with your hair and see what happens

AMAZING!

I was lucky enough to get this as a gift and I can't say enough about it...it cleans, exfoliates and moisturizes all at the same time! and all while using the smallest amount! Daily use never dries me out (and I have DRY skin). and keeps me hydrated. Thanks guys, you are true skincare heroes!!!!!

I F****NG LOVE this S**t

I bought this and the brightening serum about a year ago and just ran out (I don't use every day, just in the shower). Without the scrub as a part of my shower routine for a couple of weeks, I noticed a HUGE difference and had to search for it online. When I found the site and saw it was only $30, it made my day!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making affordable, kick-a** products!

The BEST!

I didn’t realize it at Chelsea Market but when I came home and decided to wash my face with this cleanser I realized what it smells like, it smells just like Russian Orthodox church, no joke. If you have ever been or if you go out of curiosity to Russian Orthodox church you will realize that this cleanser smells just like the oils in the church, so whenever I wash my face it is always a holy experience. I have a very sensitive fair skin, I have rosacea and my skin is quite reactive. It is normal to oily in the T zone, dry to normal in cheeks and I have very mild broken capillaries dew to rosacea and sometimes my face get hot and I blush. I used everything in drug stores, everything at Sephora(natural, not natural) Whole foods, you name it. My legs took me to Chelsea Market and this is where I met Yoav and he introduced me to this skincare. At first I was skeptical, oils tend to dry out my smin, scrubs irritate my face, fragrances make my skin red. I decided to buy it. I walked out with this cleanser, face serum, and rose oil. This cleanser is amazing, I use it twice a day morning and night for a week now and my skin has cleared out from breakouts on my forehead and from blackheads around my nose area. My skin doesn’t turn red, but is left moisturized, even toned, and it glows. It looks like I’m wearing a foundation but I’m not. I LOVE this and I hope you guys grow into a brand and will always make this product because I want to be in my 90s and still using this.

Papaya face glow

Nothing but amazing things to say about these products. A friend and I discovered this papaya face scrub during a trip to NYC last April, and it’s almost time I order another another! I have always struggled with finding products that continue to help me with my skin, but I am so happy with the consistant results brought forth by this product. I saw improvement in my skin even after the first few uses, and now I can proudly say my skin feels and looks as close to perfect as it ever will. I will continue to use it for as long as it is available and I highly recommend!

my second day .... LOVE IT.

Just recently purchased this product in nyc from Yoav and decided to try it right away. I've always had sensitive skin and needed more skin care products that were made from natural ingredients and not chemically produced. It's only my second day using this scrub and I can definitely see the difference. It leaves my face feeling smooth like a baby's bottom and super hydrated. Usually scrubs leave my face clean... but dry. But this is very delicate, smells incredible, and leaves my face looking better than ever. I'm super glad I came across this business and their wonderful products... if you happen to read this comment, do not hesitate to purchase at all!!!!!!!!

A life saver!!

After trying every skin care routine known to man, this product alone has saved me! (I also use the clay mask & vitamin serum with it but I’m not as religious with them as I am with this scrub.) I use it every time I’m in the shower. I had concerns over using an exfoliant every day, but it truly is gentle and not damaging to the skin. I am so glad I took a chance and bought this product from Yoav at the turnstyle market! My acne is gone, I rarely get new pimples, and my old scars are fading. Would buy this over and over again! Thanks so much Nadia and Yoav!

So smooth!

A few months ago I purchased a Jade Roller and the Rose and Aloe Toner at Chelsea Market and LOVED them. So I decided to try out more of these products. I have to say, this scrub is my favorite of all. I never thought I'd find a cleanser gentle enough to use every day on my sensitive skin. The texture is so unique and creamy and the exfoliant is so fine that it manages to both feel extremely gentle and deeply cleansing. My skin has never looked softer, brighter, or clearer and it's lasting me SO long. I will say, it leaves the skin feeling a little too hydrated, so I usually use it as part of a three-step cleanse with products from other brands - oil-based, this scrub, and then a bit of water-based to clear up any excess oil. I then use either the Vitamin E serum or the Sunshine Serum, depending on if I'm shower in the night or the morning and this leaves my skin PERFECTLY balanced. New skincare staple for sure.

So happy I found you!

We used your products last night and absolutely loved them. I sued the papaya scrub in the shower which really softened and cleansed my skin, then I used the vitamin C oil that I put in the fridge and my skin has literally never been this soft. I used it again today and its only getting better! We also used the other face mask for 15ish minutes and it helped a bad pimple I had clear right up! I'm so impressed and excited about your products! I'm going to tell everyone I know. The papaya scrub and vitamin C oil are new parts of my skincare routine. Love it Such a great experience and happy we stumbled upon you.

Love your products!

I am so excited to let you know how much I love your products! I have been layering them on my face every day. Just some background, I am a believer in natural beauty products and my skin has chronic moisture issues. I am also extremely sensitive to many products and limited in what I can use on my face. For instance, I had to lose a vitamin c I bought online because it caused irritation and dried out my skin, especially around the eyes. I was really disappointed that I couldn't find a c that worked for me. However, my skin is LOVING your Vitamin Face serum. With NO side effects! I cant believe I am using a vitamin c product that is actually working well-all without irritating my skin! Also, the Rose Face Oil smells amazing- I love it! The rose oil is perfect for locking in the moisture my skin so desperately needs. Speaking of moisture, the Miracle Salve is a godsend; I have been putting it on trouble spots like dry cheeks (and whole face really) and the parts of elbows that I admit I hate a little. I dont hate them so much now that I have been using the salve. My skin drinks it up and has been looking better than it has in awhile. I absolutely love this stuff. Finally, my favorite is the Papaya Face Glow. It is like a super light scrub that helps give my skin a glow but it is gentle, not harsh like other products (even the so called natural ones).
My skin is feeling softer (dare I say, supple?) and looking healthier since I have been using your products. I am hooked!

Your products have changed my life and confidence!!

Sweetwater Products have been life changing for me. I am 18 years old and I suffer from mild acne and rosacea. Throughout the years, I have tried dozens of products. I have tried Murad, Cetaphil, Aveeno, Paula's skincare etc. The list goes on...With that being said, I began to feel helpless since all these products weren't working for me. This is when I decide to contact dermatologist. I was put on several different medications that I ended up having horrible reactions to. The doc would look at my skin for two minutes and prescribe products with ingredients I could't even pronounce. After visiting two dermatologists, I officially gave up. It wasn't until I was on vacation in NY, wandering streets of Soho, when I across across the products that changed my life. I was about to leave when Yoav introduced himself and gave em a warm welcome. We began talking & I learned more about the products. I was definitely hesitant about purchasing the products since my past. I decided I would give it a shot after hearing Nadia's story with struggles with her sensitive skin. I received the clay face mask, vitamin serum, papaya scrub and cbd lotion. I used the face mask at night followed by scrub and serum and the next day I saw results!! I was shocked. My pores were smaller, my skin was smooth and my acne looked smaller! I was ecstatic! Thank you so much for making such wonderful products! I am so happy I came across your products. I swear it was fate.

DRAMATIC improvement in my skin in just 10 days!

I met you guys in Chelsea Market about 3 weeks ago. I've been using your skin plan every night (papaya face glow, detox mask, rose face oil and vitamin serum) and I have to admit, my skin looks and feels dramatically better. It took about 10 days before I noticed a difference, and then after that the improvement was dramatic. I've always had a lot of acne-from black heads to cystic. And I've always picked like crazy, leaving me with MORE acne and MORE scars. NOTHING has worked, and I'm 24. This is the first time in a very very long time where I have woken up feeling my face and smiling, and looking in the mirror after I shower and say " my face isn't red, there's nothing to even try to pick" its amazing. I feel so good I hope the results continue to be this way. I've believed in many many products and have always been let down. This is something truly special. I am so so happy with your products so thank you!
