Discover the benefits of sugar in skincare, a natural humectant that prevents moisture loss, in lip care, bodycare, and skincare.

Sugar

Sugar has long been pegged as an obstacle to clear, smooth, and healthy-looking skin. But we’re here to straighten things out and let you know the benefits of sugar when used in skincare, bodycare, and lip care (instead of eaten in the form of sweet treats and chocolate bars), sugar has plenty of skin-enhancing benefits that you will love.


First, sugar is a natural humectant known to prevent moisture loss. So if you struggle with dry skin, using sugar skincare, bodycare, or lip care can work to help hydrate and maintain your skin’s moisture. Second, due to the small size and rounded texture of sugar particles, sugar makes for the perfect physical exfoliant. It gently exfoliates the skin’s surface while its humectant properties help restore natural oils during the exfoliating process. Crazy about sugar? We are, too. That’s why sugar is the star ingredient in a variety of our lip care, skincare, and bodycare products. Discover our favorites to sweeten your routine.
