The pursuit of clear, healthy, and radiant skin is a timeless aspect of human self-care. In today's cosmetic landscape, consumers are increasingly shifting toward products that are natural, sustainable, and gentle on the skin. Exfoliation plays a vital role in skincare routines, helping to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote healthy regeneration. However, many commercial scrubs contain microplastics or harsh chemical agents that damage the skin barrier and harm the environment. As an alternative, this research focuses on a natural, herbal-based scrub using Camelina sativa oil and oats, known for their skin-friendly properties.Body scrub is a cosmetic form that removes dead skin cells caused by free radicals from various pollutants and ultraviolet (UV) radiation so skin cells become more accessible to regenerate.In recent years, the demand for natural and plant-based skincare products has surged due to growing awareness of the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals. Exfoliation is a key step in skincare, and using gentle, organic exfoliants is essential for maintaining healthy skin. This study focuses on the development of a natural exfoliating scrub using Camelina sativa oil and ground oats, enriched with other herbal ingredients to enhance skin benefits. Camelina sativa, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, deeply nourishes the skin, while oats act as a natural exfoliant, removing dead skin cells without causing irritation.This innovation is ideal for individuals seeking a clean, eco-conscious skincare routine that supports both skin health and environmental sustainability. The use of natural ingredients in this scrub aligns with the increasing global preference for chemical-free, plant-based skincare solutions.
