The first Co-Mingle body scrub was released back in 2022. After its success, Lush decided to release another version of a Co-Mingle body scrub, the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub. Today I will be reviewing the third Co-Mingle body scrub to be released by Lush, the Tropical Co-Mingle Body Scrub.
At the time of writing this review the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub has only been available in November 2023’s Lush Kitchen subscription box.
Out of the 5 items in November 2023’s Lush Kitchen subscription box, customers will be able to vote for which ones they want to become mainline products. I have my fingers crossed that one of them is the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub as it’s my favourite of the Co-mingles so far, more customers need the chance to try it. I’d also be very pleased to get hold of a bigger pot if it does become a main line product!
The Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub is described by Lush as a ‘tropical scented three-in-one.’ It exfoliates, cleanses, and moisturises your skin all at the same time. After the success of both the original Co-Mingle and Sticky Dates Co-Mingle, I was eager to give the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub a go.
The Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub shares its scent with the Cyclops bubble bar and SpongeBob bath bomb. The best way I can describe its scent is as a rich passion fruit like fragrance.
I have seen several customers say that with it being so fruity, it may be more appropriate as a Summer product. I am however happy to use it all year round but do understand what they mean.
With the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub being a three-in-one product it has a lot of ingredients in it; the scrubby element of it comes from the tagua nut powder. Alongside that, the Tropical Co-Mingle also contains a super-moisturising amount of fairtrade cocoa and shea butter as well as cypress leaf infusion, almond oil, Brazil nut oil, buriti oil, buchu oil, litsea cubeba oil, sweet wild orange oil and fresh pineapple juice.
Consistency-wise, the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub is a little different from the other Co-Mingles; It is not as sloppy and has more of a dried-butter-icing feel to it (see above photo).
A very small amount of the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub goes a long way, but I am gutted that the Lush Kitchen only gave us a 100g pot of it in the Lush Kitchen subscription box. I really do need more so have my fingers crossed it comes back as a permanent product soon.
To use, I scoop out about 3 fingers worth and that easily does my whole body, twice over. Unlike the original two Co-Mingles I find Tropical Co-Mingle incredibly scrubby, I think this is the main reason why I like it the most out of the 3 Lush have created thus far.
When I first got some out of the pot, I thought it felt really creamy and wasn’t expecting much scrub wise HOWEVER, the longer I rubbed it into my skin the scrubbier it seemed to get. The tagua nut powder is incredibly fine but does a perfect job of buffing away any dead skin without making your skin sore. It also washes and hydrates your skin at the same time so there’s no need for a shower gel or body lotion after using it. My skin feels smooth and looks brighter after use.
I adore all of the Co-Mingles created by Lush but I have fallen head over heels in love with the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub, it’s my favourite of the 3 and I hate to repeat myself again but it really will be a crime if Lush don’t make this body scrub a mainline product as soon as possible!
