Introduction
The Type Of Scrub
With a wide variety of scrubs available in the market—each differing in ingredients and efficacy—gaining an in-depth understanding of industry classifications is essential for successfully developing a private-label scrub.
As an industry leader, Qiaomei Cosmetics will now provide a systematic breakdown of scrub categories.
Type | Product Characteristics | Main Ingredients |
Scalp Scrub |
| Abrasives: Sea salt, sugar/brown sugar, silica, plant powders. Base: Often combines exfoliating acids (BHA/AHA) to dissolve oil with essential oils (e.g., peppermint, tea tree) for cooling, oil-control, and antibacterial benefits. |
Facial Scrub |
| Infused with soothing and active skincare ingredients. |
Body Scrub |
| Enriched with nourishing ingredients like shea butter and essential oils to repair and protect the skin. |
Lip Scrub | A rich, oil-based blend focused on gently removing flaky lip skin. | Primarily safe, emollient components such as sugar, honey, and jojoba oil. |
1、Physical Scrubs
Physical scrubs work through the physical friction created between their fine particles and the skin. The core efficacy lies in directly and effectively removing dead skin cells, making the skin instantly smooth and soft. Building on this, they cleanse pores, help prevent blackheads and breakouts, and achieve an immediate brightening or “polishing” effect by clearing away the barrier of dulling dead skin cells. Furthermore, exfoliated skin absorbs nutrients more easily, thereby enhancing the penetration of subsequent skincare products. They also significantly improve skin texture, leaving the body’s skin smooth to the touch, and can help alleviate “chicken skin” (Keratosis pilaris) caused by the buildup of keratin in hair follicles.
Type | Common Abrasives | Key Characteristics |
Plant Particle-Based | Nut shell powder walnut powder Scrubs apricot seed powder Scrubs Oats powder Scrubs Bamboo powder powder Scrubs | All-natural. Ingredients are plant-derived. |
Mineral/Synthetic Particle-Based | Sea salt Scrubs Sugar/Brown sugarScrubs Silica microbeads Scrubs | Dual Action Formula: Exfoliates & Hydrates Gently eliminates dead cells for smooth skin. Enriches skin with lasting moisture and nourishment. |
2、Chemical Scrubs / Acid Exfoliants
Chemical scrubs, also known as acid exfoliants, operate on a fundamentally different mechanism than physical scrubs. Instead of relying on physical abrasion, they use acidic ingredients like Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) to gently dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their automatic and even shedding. This makes them generally gentler and more uniform in action.
These products offer five core benefits:
①, they deeply dissolve dead skin cells, improving skin texture and dullness at the source for a smoother, more refined complexion.
②, thanks to the lipophilic nature of salicylic acid (BHA), they penetrate pores to dissolve sebum plugs, effectively preventing and reducing blackheads, whiteheads, and acne.
③ they accelerate the shedding of pigment-carrying dead cells, brightening the complexion, and improving dullness, post-acne marks, and hyperpigmentation for a more even, radiant tone.
④ they stimulate collagen production and epidermal thickening, offering anti-aging and wrinkle-smoothing benefits with long-term use while enhancing skin elasticity.
⑤Finally, by clearing the barrier of dead cells, they significantly boost the absorption and efficacy of subsequent skincare products.
Overall, chemical scrubs provide gentle exfoliation while addressing multiple skincare concerns like cleansing, brightening, and anti-aging.
Type | Primary Efficacy Focus | Suitable Skin Types |
AHA Lactic Acid Scrubs) | Intensive hydration, improves roughness and dullness, anti-aging. Particularly suitable for addressing surface dryness, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. | Dry, Mature, Normal skin |
BHA | Potent pore-clearing, oil control, and acne fighting. Addresses blackheads and breakouts at their root. | Oily, Combination, Acne-prone skin |
Mandelic Acid | Gentle and skin-friendly, combining lipid solubility with a larger molecular size. Highly suitable for beginners and mild to moderate acne-prone skin. | Sensitive skin, Acid beginners, Acne-prone skin |
3、Enzymatic Peel Scrubs
Enzyme scrubs function through their core ingredient – proteases (such as papain from papaya or bromelain from pineapple). Their mechanism works like a “key opening a lock,” precisely breaking down the keratin in the stratum corneum (the outer layer of dead skin cells), thereby gently removing these cells without affecting healthy skin.
This product effectively brightens the complexion, improves dullness and roughness, and restores the skin’s natural radiance and translucency. It also helps to unclog pores, preventing the formation of blackheads and whiteheads, while enhancing the absorption and overall efficacy of subsequent skincare products.
Due to their gentle, non-irritating action, enzyme scrubs are particularly suitable for sensitive skin, skin experiencing acne inflammation, and delicate areas such as around the eyes.
Characteristics | Enzyme Scrubs | Physical Scrubs | Chemical Scrubs (Acids) |
Mode of Action | Enzymatic hydrolysis; intelligently breaks down dead skin cells | Physical friction; mechanical exfoliation | Chemical dissolution; breaks down the bonds between cells |
Gentleness | Very high; does not damage healthy skin cells | Excessive friction can damage the skin barrier | Moderate; skin tolerance needs to be built; may cause a stinging sensation |
Skin Type Suitability | All skin types, especially sensitive and delicate skin | Healthy, oily, and thick-skinned types | Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin (use with caution on sensitive skin) |
Key Features | Gentle, even, and intelligent exfoliation | Deep and thorough results | Deep and comprehensive results; sunscreen use is essential |
