Abstract
A cosmetic sea salt scrub is provided which includes sodium sesquicarbonate and an oil. Sodium sesquicarbonate ordinarily is the major salt present and amounts of this salt relative to the oil may range from about 20:1 to about 5:1 by weight. Mineral oil is particularly preferred as the oil phase. Salt scrubs according to this invention are relatively uniform in composition, easily dispensed from a jar and spread uniformly on the skin.
