product packaging concerns [SEP] the name honey bee smooth bath body scrub moisturizer just evokes good thoughts doesn t it if you love honey it just sounds amazing i know i love honey and i love using it or having it in my beauty products so i was looking forward to receiving this product to test it outthere are some actual product packaging concerns that really should be addressed by the company that makes this body scrub first off the jar is pretty sturdy i m not going to dispute that and it s amber which is always good in helping keep out uv rays the only seal is the amazon barcode label one of the photos shows the label but i cut through it it was intact when it arrived so that was not the issue there was no shrink wrap seal neither was there an inner seal nor one of those inner lid liners this jar also does not have any other labeling except for that amazon barcode and the top label with their website url this was a standalone jar no box there is no product information on the jar no ingredient list no product name no manufacture or expiration dates this brings up heavy red flags for me quality control especiallythe product description sounds rather amazing right ok keep in mind what i previously mentioned about quality control in their description they advertise that you can eat it i d recommend against it because of the lack of quality sealing it would be one thing if this were given to me by someone who i knew personally that had made the product but since this is coming from a company that i don t know and that doesn t have anything other than the description on amazon i m not sticking this product in my mouth i know the anti bacterial properties of honey however that doesn t mean that it can t be contaminated by anything else it s not pure honey there are other ingredients within who knows the health sanitation practices of this company right with there just being the barcode label as a seal who s to say that someone couldn t have tampered with it in the warehouse and their only label the one i mentioned with their website url if you go to the url it comes up with this webpage is not availableerr name not resolved i don t know about you but without anything reputable to back up the product or company i find it very hard for me to trust thisall of that aside if you can look past those packaging and trust issues getting to the actual product when you open the cover it does have that very rich strong scent of honey the brown sugar and other ingredients have settled to the bottom so some stirring was necessary the honey is also pretty solid so a cosmetic spatula not included was not adequate enough to stir it once you do stir it the scent of the brown sugar comes through because it s honey it s really sticky and like any sugar scrub it has that gritty sugar texture which is great for exfoliation if your skin is dry when you apply you may have a tough time spreading it to avoid this moisten your skin prior to smoothing this alongit does its job at exfoliating removing a layer of dead skin but i didn t expect that it wouldn t the product itself is good leaves the skin smooth and smells good i used it on my legit s not proprietary though since there are a ton of diy tutorials on how to make sugar scrubs out on the web nowadays but if you re not into making your own and if they change the packaging and labeling and get a working website up then this would be the way to goi really hope that they get the concerns i mentioned in the beginning straightened out it would have been a decent product all around if not for those issues if they do then i would be more than happy to bump the rating to a this product was given to me complimentary in exchange for an honest and unbiased review
