The perfect product for a scrub. I have been testing exfoliants for quite some time. I was not convinced of any sugar or anything else so I had that project on hold. Finally, I'm ready to go with my whipped scrub soap! These shells are the best and I'm so happy to find them. I was concerned about the price, as it double any sugar cost but to my surprise, I used 75% less than sugar. It suspended great in my mix and it is just the perfect product for my scrubs. Highly recommend it. Thanks, NDA!

Adds color, sparkle and grit to products. A little goes a long way. More appropriate for body. A little rugged for the face. Nice price and packaged well.

I must say that this was the happiest mistake that I ever had. I originally ordered the sandalwood powder and to my dismay I found out that it was out of stock. New Directions promptly called me to see if I would like a credit or to exchange it for something else and I chose the apricot shells. They are some of the best exfoliating products that I have ever tried. Not only are they great as a facial exfoliater, they are the best that I have ever used for the body as well. My family is big on sugar and salt scrubs, but the Apricot shells from New Directions might be the new King of the Mountain

I have added the recently purchased apricot shells exfoliant to my homemade face wash. It does an amazing job at removing dead skin and clearing up pores. A little goes a long way. Both my daughter and I love it! 1kg bag will last a long time.

I would never use this on the face, far too rough, but PERFECT for the body. Gives an aggressive, and thorough, yet gentle body scrub!

I had purchased this product from another company in the past. Found it to be an excellent exfoliant in face products. But the price here is so much better. I know that I will not be purchansing this from anywhere else. And the packaging is just as everyone else says: "Wonderful"

This is fantastic for a facial scrub. I had tried the Walnut Husks before, but they were way too harsh.

I got these because I found the facial scrub to be needing more of the "scrub" part. They fit the bill perfectly and I have also added them to the smoothing body polish. I love the way my skin feels after using them.

Very nice small peice of apricot shells. They are small enough to be confortable and large enough to add texture and look to your product. Perfect when combined with another exfoliant!

I ordered these for the first time and they are wonderful! The ease of use and the way that they react with the bases is absolutely fantastic. They leave the skin feeling so refreshed after us and I cannot wait to introduce these new products to my customers. What a bargain! 1 kg of these go such a long way when making scrubs, definitely something I will continue to order in the future!
