The base for this product is a soap handmade from garlic-infused oil and other plant-based ingredients. The facilitator, Catherine Chambers, will guide you through the process of customizing your scrub as you choose from a variety of natural exfoliants and supplemental ingredients, such as clays and essential oils.
