Ingredients like coconut, mango and rice are commonly used in desserts made in Thailand, which is exactly what this asian skincare product from [Sabai Sabai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabai-creamery) is reminiscent of. The 'Thai Dessert - Mango, Rice & Coconut' body lotion fuses these familiar flavors for a potent skincare product that's powered by tropical fruits and herbs.

Taking further inspiration from local scents and flavors, Sabai Sabai's skincare range also includes [body lotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-global-flavors-collection) in Juicy Pineapple, Lime & Lemongrass, Papaya Cocktail and Stress-Away Pink Grapefruit. Beyond is range of body creams, Sabai Sabai also uses these alluring scents across all of its aromatherapy oils, body scrubs, hand creams and [cleansing face masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundae-scoop-wash-off-face-mask-set).

Rather than introducing a new exotic skincare ingredient, the combination of coconut, mango and rice presents a familiar option that is already known to be both nourishing and indulgent.
