The Bottom Line
A completely unique body scrub, it contains teeny granules that exfoliate skin without tearing (a tendency of cheaper salt scrubs). This is a spa-quality scrub at a spa prices ($62 for a large tub). The good news is you don't need a lot of it to exfoliate the entire body.

- Pricey compared to most scrubs, this is a luxe product

Guide Review - Red Flower: Ohana Gingergrass Bamboo Scrub
I got turned onto Ohana Gingergrass Bamboo scrub on one of my shopping sprees at NYC's <a href="http://www.bigelowchemists.com/">C.O. Bigelow</a> apothecary. The saleswoman assured me this was one of the very best new items on their shelves and a potential 'must-have' for readers. After using it for more than two weeks, I've found a scrub for life worth every penny. The chocolate-colored bamboo granules are subtle, don't tear at the skin (key for any scrub, whether for body or face) and the scent isn't overpowering. I was left with smooth, silky, soft skin.
What others are saying:
On Makeupalley.com, four readers have tried it. Three of the four loved it for it's foaming qualities, scent and it's softening effects on the skin. One woman found it disappointing. She said it didn't foam as she expected and left her tub a mess.
