# Jicama Body Scrubs This CEMPAKA Bali Spa Product Borrows Benefits from an Unusual Fruit By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-11-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-scrubs References: [herworldplus](http://www.herworldplus.com/beauty/updates/beauty-updates-asian-skincare-asian-women-new-skincare-store) & [online.marthatilaarshop](http://online.marthatilaarshop.com/shop/spa-product/cempaka-bali-spa-collection-bengkoang-body-scrub-200gr/) While the CEMPAKA Bali Spa Collection includes a range of body scrubs made with exotic ingredients like coconut and jasmine, the most unusual product in this assortment has to be the Bengkoang (or Jicama) Body Scrub. Using natural granules to gently slough away dirt and dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, the body scrub from Indonesia also nourishes and moisturizes the skin with olive oil and Vitamin E. Jicama may seem like an unorthodox ingredient in a skincare product, but as a fruit that has the ability to carry a lot of water content, this benefit can be passed directly onto dry and thirsty skin. As part of an indulgent at-home spa treatment, the [Bengkoang Body Scrub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/santu) provides a quick and easy way to hydrate the skin. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Exotic Ingredient Skin Care:** Utilizing uncommon fruits and ingredients in skincare products offers new opportunities for unique and effective formulations. - **Natural Granule Scrubs:** The use of natural granules in body scrubs provides a gentle exfoliation method that is both effective and sustainable. - **At-home Spa Treatments:** The demand for convenient and luxurious at-home spa products is on the rise, creating opportunities for innovative self-care solutions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Skincare:** The skincare industry can explore the incorporation of exotic ingredients like jicama to create innovative and effective products. - **Sustainable Beauty:** Sustainable beauty brands can develop body scrubs with natural granules as a more environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional exfoliating ingredients. - **Wellness and Self-care:** The wellness industry can tap into the growing market for at-home spa treatments by offering innovative and convenient self-care solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beverage-Inspired Body Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-coco-coconut-oil-body-scrub.md) - [Exfoliating Full-Body Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bikini-and-body-scrub.md) - [Skin-Balancing Whipped Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niacinamide-body-scrub.md) - [Mochi-Like Body Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermochi-body-exfoliator.md) - [Multi-Functional Moisturizing Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moisturizing-scrub.md) - [Raspberry-Inspired Sugar Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raspberry-fizz.md) - [Exfoliating Fruit Enzyme Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-enzyme-scrub.md) - [Firming Tropically Inspired Exfoliatiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firming-shea-sugar.md) - [Pineapple-Based Exfoliators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-peeling-gel.md)
