6 Points Skin Deep Low Hazard Rating ~ 3
0 Points for being Organic

2 Points for effectiveness – It left my skin feeling soft and smooth when I tried it out.  Don’t tell dude! He liked it too.

1 Point for Texture – Regardless of gender, when choosing a face scrub you want to be sure the grain that is being used as the exfoiliant is fine and won’t damage the skin. The Zia Men’s Scrub texture meets that criteria.  I also appreciated that there were plenty of grains in the scrub.

1 Point for Fragrance – The Scrub has a slightly minty smell – the Zia Men line has done an excellent job with the scent of this line.  Subtly masculine.  I really like it.

.5 Points for Packaging Appearance – The scrub is packaged in a flip top tube with the zia men burnt sienna & black.

.4 Points for Packaging Sustainability – The packaging is made with 50% post consumer waste and are printed with soy ink using windmill power.

Overall:

This is a a great product line for the man who has been using conventional brands and wants to start making more natural product choices. This is a great smelling, very fine facial scrub. I might just have to steal it from time to time.

ActiClean Face Scrub retails for $9.
