Soft Services has launched several versions of its Buffing Bar—including a fragrant special edition with D.S. & Durga and a sensorial Green Banana version—now, the fan-favorite exfoliant is available as a decadent Affogato L’Orange Buffing Bar. This tribute to Italian dessert turns shower rituals into an indulgent retreat with notes of vanilla, creamy coconut, juicy citrus and rich espresso.
In addition to sharing a fresh scent experience, this Buffing Bar boasts a first-of-its-kind texture. This body care bar provides a mild-to-moderate exfoliating experience by pairing the same microcrystals from Soft Services’ original bar in a moisturizing, soothing soap base. Key ingredients include mineral microcrystals that gently slough away dead skin and bumps, glycerin, and skin-softening shea butter for a comfortable body-polishing experience without pulling or tugging.
