Biodegradable Walnut Shell. Botanical Brightening Complex. CBD. Physical Exfoliation Done Right.
REFINE is a physical exfoliating scrub built on biodegradable Walnut Shell Powder — a natural, sustainably sourced abrasive that buffs away dead skin cells and surface buildup without the microplastic pollution of synthetic scrub beads. The exfoliation mechanism is supported by a four-botanical brightening complex — Willow Bark, Licorice Root, Chaparral, and Mulberry Root — that addresses hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, and pore clarity simultaneously.
120mg of organic hemp-derived CBD (THC ≤0mg) modulates the inflammatory response that physical exfoliation can trigger in reactive skin. A triple citrus essential oil blend — Grapefruit, Orange, and Lime — plus Lemongrass delivers a bright, energizing aromatic finish. Natural Menthol provides a cooling, refreshing sensation that makes REFINE particularly effective as a morning exfoliation ritual.
Pro tip: for deeper exfoliation, layer over an enzyme masque, then massage and rinse — the enzymatic pre-treatment loosens dead skin cells for more effective physical removal.
The Botanical Brightening Complex
Willow Bark Extract (Salix alba)
Contains salicin — a naturally occurring beta-hydroxy acid precursor that converts to salicylic acid on the skin. Provides gentle chemical exfoliation that complements the physical walnut shell exfoliation, penetrates pores to clear congestion, and delivers anti-inflammatory activity. The natural alternative to synthetic salicylic acid.
Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
Rich in glabridin — a flavonoid that inhibits tyrosinase activity, reducing melanin production and supporting the fading of dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. One of the most well-documented natural brightening agents available. Also anti-inflammatory.
Chaparral Extract (Larrea tridentata)
Rich in nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) — a potent antioxidant with documented antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Provides environmental protection and supports skin clarity.
Mulberry Root Extract (Morus alba)
Contains oxyresveratrol — a stilbenoid with documented tyrosinase-inhibiting activity comparable to kojic acid. Works synergistically with Licorice Root to address hyperpigmentation and support even skin tone.
Active Ingredients & Clinical Function
Cannabidiol (CBD) — 120mg Organic Hemp-Derived | THC ≤0mg
Modulates CB2 receptor activity in the skin's immune cells, reducing inflammatory cytokine signaling. Supports the skin's recovery from physical exfoliation and is particularly valuable for reactive skin that needs regular exfoliation without inflammatory burden. Non-intoxicating. Non-detectable THC on every batch COA.
Biodegradable Walnut Shell Powder (Juglans regia)
Finely milled walnut shell providing gentle physical exfoliation. Biodegradable — no microplastic pollution. Particle size is calibrated for facial use: effective exfoliation without the micro-tearing risk of coarser physical scrubs. Appropriate for normal, combination, and oily skin types.
Polyglucose + Sulfosuccinate + Coco Betaine — Surfactant System
A mild, plant-derived surfactant system providing the cleansing base. Polyglucose (from corn/coconut) and Coco Betaine (from coconut) are gentle, low-irritation surfactants appropriate for facial use. Sulfosuccinate provides additional cleansing efficacy. The combination delivers effective cleansing without stripping the skin's acid mantle.
Organic Hemp Seed Oil + Organic Argan Oil + Virgin Raspberry Seed Oil
A triple-oil conditioning system that counteracts the drying effect of the surfactant and exfoliation system. Hemp Seed Oil provides omega-rich barrier support; Argan Oil delivers Vitamin E and fatty acid nourishment; Raspberry Seed Oil provides antioxidant protection and essential fatty acids.
Natural Menthol + Organic Grapefruit + Organic Orange + Organic Lime + Organic Lemongrass Essential Oils
A bright, energizing aromatic and sensory system. Menthol provides a cooling, refreshing sensation that makes REFINE particularly effective as a morning exfoliation ritual. The citrus EO blend delivers a clean, uplifting aromatic finish. Note: contains citral (citrus EOs) — use with SPF if applying before sun exposure. Patch test recommended for fragrance-sensitive skin.

How to Use
Apply a dime-sized amount to damp skin. Massage gently in circular motions for 1–2 minutes, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water; finish with cool water to close pores. Use 2–4 times per week based on skin type. Pro tip: for deeper exfoliation, layer over an enzyme masque first, then massage REFINE over the top and rinse — the enzymatic pre-treatment loosens dead skin cells for more effective physical removal. Always follow with SPF — exfoliation increases photosensitivity.
