Body scrubs are known for being gritty, as they're first and foremost meant to offer physical exfoliation, but [Sunday Riley's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquamarine-melt) new Charcoal Smoothie offers a different experience with its unique jelly format. The [jelly body scrub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lavender-glow) combines a mix of salicylic acid and lactic acid (both are leave-on chemical exfoliants) with [natural exfoliating powders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-enzyme-scrub) and charcoal, a detoxifying powerhouse.

The skin-polishing body scrub was created to refine rough and bumpy skin, especially for those who struggle with keratosis pilaris—or "chicken skin"—mainly on the arms and legs. The formula combines activated charcoal with coconut water, avocado oil, jojoba seed oil, manuka branch and seed oil and other nourishing ingredients in a unique texture. Increasingly, consumers are finding comfort in jelly products that offer a rich sensorial experience.
