Kind Natured Sea Minerals & Mint Revitalising Foot Scrub

Just like our face, our feet also require attention so I always use a foot scrub come spring/summer to get my feet sandal ready. I recently picked up Kind Natured Sea Minerals & Mint Revitalising Foot Scrub without having heard of the brand before. Their products range includes skincare and hair care. All their products are 97% natural, the remaining 3% often consists of fragrance & preservatives that are essential to creating a functional product. Whenever possible they use fragrances that are derived from plants but have to label them as 'non-natural' due to the extraction process they have been under. Their goal is to create a 100% natural product. They claim that they "always test on people rather than animals" so are cruelty free but aren't registered  as part of an official scheme (there's no leaping bunny logo.) I love the name as it refers to the 'natural' ingredients and has happy, positive connotations.  

The Kind Natured Sea Minerals & Mint Revitalising Foot Scrub is free from sulphates, parabens and petrochemicals (mineral oil) and is vegan. The sea minerals include sea salt and pumice, to exfoliate the skin. The red algae extract (Chondrus Crispus (Carageenan) Extract) Fucus vesiculosus extract, (a type of brown algae) and Laminaria Digitata Extract, (another type of brown algae/kelp) soothe and moisturise the skin.  The peppermint oil is to refresh and revitalise the feet. I appreciate that they haven't added a lot of essential oils to this product as they can irritate my sensitive skin and it's a habit a lot of natural skincare brands fall into which is to stuff their products with as many essential oils they can for the fragrance. There's just peppermint oil in the formula which is listed as no 12 out of 18 ingredients appearing towards the end of the list. 

The colour of the tube stands out and it has a 'window' where you can see the product which is nice as often you can't see what's inside until you get home. The flip top lid is very practical. 

Kind Natured claim that this scrub will "revive and smooth overworked feet." It's very abrasive scrub with oats, sea salt and pumice, it feels like they've chosen everything they can think of that's rough to the touch and put them all in one formula. When I tested it on my hand it felt sharp and rough and almost sore when I rubbed the scrub across my hand so I was worried it would be too rough and unpleasant to use but actually was ok.  It’s a rough scrub but luckily it didn’t leave any cuts on my skin but I wouldn't apply this in a rush as you need to massage it gently.  I applied the scrub on the top of my feet, heel and between my toes and it left my skin looking fresh and pink rubbing away all the grey winter skin cells. My feet felt incredibly soft and smooth afterwards although it was a little sore in-between my toes. It smells very minty and I felt a very slight tingle afterwards and it felt very refreshing. I think that this scrub would be good at getting rid of callouses. The packaging in relatively unisex and I think this would suit men as their skin is thicker and tougher. 

Kind Natured Sea Minerals & Mint Revitalising Foot Scrub is priced at £4.99 for 150ml making it one of the cheapest foot scrubs. 

In conclusion I think that this is very effective and does what it says. I will happily finish the tube but because of it's abrasive nature I wouldn't repurchase.
