There are body washes, there are body scrubs, and then there’s Knock’s new Sandy Scrub Wash, a hybrid that combines deep exfoliation with cleansing power in a single, streamlined formula. Knock is the Korean body care brand bringing K-beauty innovation to body care, and this release takes inspiration from sandy shores, including ultra-fine particles to polish skin without scratching, and a refreshing, long-lasting scent with notes of coconut water, coastal breeze and sea salt.
In terms of ingredients, Knock opted for coconut shell powder, walnut shell powder, AHA (glycolic acid) and BHA (salicylic acid) to smooth rough skin, clear stubborn SPF and leave the skin feeling soft, cleansed, refreshed, and primed for the beach.
