The verdict
A cheap, generous sugar scrub with shea butter, plant oils and a rose scent, popular for softening dry body skin.
Tree Hut's Moroccan Rose Shea Sugar Scrub pairs real sugar with shea butter and a blend of oils, including argan, rosehip, avocado and sweet almond, in an 18 oz tub. It buffs away dry skin in the shower, while the shea butter and oils are there to leave skin moisturized; creator reviews call the results phenomenal and rank it among the best body scrubs. The rose fragrance is strong and the formula contains dyes, so it is not for sensitive or broken skin or the face. At under $10 at major retailers, it is one of the most popular body scrubs online.
Best for
- Budget-friendly weekly body exfoliation
- Dry, flaky legs and arms
- Fans of floral body care scents
What we love
- Very affordable for a large 18 oz tub
- Sugar exfoliates while shea and oils leave skin soft
- Widely available at Ulta, Walmart and Amazon
- Rose scent that creators single out in reviews
Worth knowing
- Strong fragrance and dyes make it a poor fit for sensitive skin
- Not suitable for the face or freshly shaved or broken skin

Real sugar, glycerin, shea and a long list of plant oils are well suited to a rinse-off scrub, but added fragrance and dyes add irritation risk.

FAQ
Good questions.
How often should you use Tree Hut sugar scrub?
Tree Hut's directions simply say to buff it onto damp or dry skin and rinse, without a set frequency. As a physical exfoliant, it is best used gently and less often on sensitive skin.
What does Moroccan Rose smell like?
It is a rose-forward floral scent. The brand describes it as luscious, and the formula also contains orange oil.
Can I use Tree Hut scrub on my face?
This scrub is made for the body; its sugar granules and fragrance are not designed for facial skin.
