FINAL VERDICT
Tree Hut Tropic Glow Firming Sugar Scrub is a classic sugar-based body exfoliant with a generous inclusion of nourishing oils and butters to support hydration and barrier recovery. While fragrance and essential oils are present, their impact is minimized by the rinse off context. The physical exfoliation is mild and well-buffered by emollients, leaving skin soft and smooth. However, fragrance-sensitive users should patch-test due to synthetic and natural fragrance components. Overall, it aligns moderately with The Beauty Doctrine’s Functional Beauty Standards, particularly in barrier support and hydration, though synthetic fragrance prevents a top tier rating.
