Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe KUNDAL Macadamia & Sugar Body Scrub is a delicious body scrub made with macadamia oil and fruit extract. Formulated with 46% natural sugars that gently exfoliate the body and leave the skin feeling smooth and silky. Additionally, it contains apricot kernels to remove dead skin cells while Shea butter helps to nourish the skin during the peeling.
Macadamia & Sugar Body Scrub is a cushioning scrub from Kundal, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 37 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Sucrose and Water, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Sucrose, Water and Butyrospermum Parkii Butter.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Benzyl Benzoate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract and Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract.
Oil control: Moderate. Ingredients that moderate sebum or absorb shine, and here that comes from Silica.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, brightening and tone, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
Use it in the evening. In a routine it goes after cleansing, before serums. Start at once or twice a week and build up only if skin stays comfortable. Wear sunscreen the next morning — fresh exfoliation raises UV sensitivity.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
