Do you remember the Fluffy Lip Scrub that I made back in March of 2009? Recently I wanted to make another lip scrub to help solve my winter chapped lips. The Pomegranate Flavor was the inspiration for this lip scrub because I have been impatiently waiting for a chance to make something fun with it.
I decided that I wanted to redo the Fluffy Lip Scrub and since pomegranates are considered a super fruit, I would make a Superfruit Lip Scrub. I started looking over a list of commonly mentioned superfruits and I was excited to discover an inspiring list of fruits. Even though all fruits are excellent sources of nutrition, superfruits are marketed by their novelty and appeal to customers. What ever the reasons are for marketing, I’ve created a fun lip scrub that emphasizes on those special fruits. Here is the list of ingredients and the reasons for choosing them. Blueberry Butter: I chose the Blueberry Butter because blueberries are a well known superfruit and yet very rare to us in Utah. (They do not grow well in our soil.)

This lip scrub is very fruity and a perfectly sweet way to exfoliate your lips. I hope you enjoy this scrub as much as I do!
Enjoy!
Superfruit Lip Scrub,
I got a sample jar of this in my last order and I LOVE IT. I love the way my lips feel after using this, so soft and silky.
