I tried before the salt scrub with oil. I will say that this sugar is not tingling skin like salt. Oiliness on the skin after it does not remain just a gentle moisturizing. The smell is not strong, that is, not too much, as some write, but if you sniff it feels nice. Very soft, I would say, scrub. A feeling of tenderness, softness. All the jars and bottles iherb come with a protective film, so that nothing leaked. And naturally it gets off during transportation salt in a lump separately from the oil. I think this is normal. You just have to mix, for example a wooden stick for a sushi.
