TAKE THE QUIZ

Our Facial Exfoliator with Apricot & Papaya is a gentle yet effective micro exfoliation treatment designed to smooth, brighten and soften the skin — without irritation.

It’s packed with natural exfoliants to lift away dull, flaky skin, including finely ground bamboo for gentle physical exfoliation, rounded jojoba beads to polish, and papaya enzymes rich in fruit acids to help loosen dead skin cells — revealing fresher, more radiant skin underneath.

Coupled with skin-loving, ceramide-rich plant oils including Apricot and Shea, it nourishes as it exfoliates — leaving your skin soft, comforted, and never tight or stripped.

It’s suitable for all skin types, including dry, sensitive, menopausal, or combination skin. Use 1–2 times a week by applying to clean, dry skin with dry hands. Massage gently and rinse off with warm water. Can also be applied to damp skin if preferred, just avoid getting water into the jar.

It’s handmade in small batches to ensure second-to-none quality, and we blend it with pure essential oils for a soft, natural fragrance and their therapeutic benefits.

It’s free from palm oil, silicones, SLS, artificial fragrance, synthetic colours, and it’s never tested on animals.

🌿 What’s Inside – and Why

We choose every ingredient with purpose — no fillers, no fluff. Just rich botanicals and gentle naturals to exfoliate, nourish and comfort dry, sensitive and menopausal skin.

Here’s a closer look at what’s inside:

🌿 Star Ingredients

Apricot Kernel Oil (Organic) – Ceramide-rich and hydrating, it helps restore softness and strengthens the skin barrier.

Papaya Seed Oil – Naturally rich in fruit enzymes (papain), which help break down and dissolve dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Bamboo Powder – A gentle physical exfoliant made from finely ground bamboo. Microdermabrasion grade, it buffs away dull skin without scratching or irritation.

Jojoba Beads – Smooth, rounded beads that polish the skin without being abrasive. Made from hydrogenated jojoba oil — soft, safe, and biodegradable.

Shea Butter (Organic) – Deeply nourishing and soothing, ideal for dry, tight or sensitive skin types.

🌸 Essential Oils (for scent & skin benefits)

Orange Peel Oil (Organic) – Adds a subtle citrus lift while offering natural cleansing and brightening properties.

Palmarosa (Organic) – A gentle floral essential oil that balances and hydrates while offering light antibacterial benefits.

The overall scent is soft and uplifting — a fresh citrus note with a delicate floral heart — never overpowering.

🧪 Supporting Ingredients (for texture, safety & stability)

These keep the formula stable, effective and silky smooth on the skin:

Aqua – Pure spring water base

Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate – Olive-derived emulsifiers that give the cream its rich, velvety texture

Glycerin (Organic, Vegetable-derived) – A natural humectant that draws moisture into the skin

Stearic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol – Plant-based stabilisers and thickeners

Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Anisate – Gentle, palm-free preservatives

Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum – To keep the pH skin-friendly and the consistency just right

Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – Antioxidant protection and skin conditioning

The scent is gentle and uplifting, with a subtle blend of citrus and soft floral notes. We use organic orange and organic palmarosa essential oils to create a natural fragrance that’s fresh, light, and never overpowering.

The result is a delicate balance — a hint of citrus brightness softened by a floral heart — designed to enhance your skincare ritual without overwhelming the senses.

As with all our products, the scent comes entirely from pure essential oils, with no synthetic fragrance or artificial perfumes.

With dry hands, apply to clean skin and gently massage in; rinse with warm water — or apply to damp skin if preferred, but use a spatula to avoid getting water into the jar.

The 15ml size will last up to 2 months depending how often it is used.. The 30ml jar will last 3-4 months. All of our Rose Tree products contain high concentrations of plant oils and extracts so less product is needed.

No tightness

“Not only was it a great exfoliator, but it also felt nourishing — left my skin feeling soft with no tightness or irritation. Most exfoliators just exfoliate — this one adds a touch of luxury. I love it!”

"A British-made, luxurious, organic brand that particularly suits sensitive skin."

the story

Facial Exfoliator with Apricot & Papaya

I wanted to create a facial exfoliator that was effective but still gentle — one that would smooth and brighten the skin, but without causing irritation or leaving it feeling tight.

For me, exfoliation shouldn’t mean red, angry skin or harsh scrubs. It should mean comfort, softness, and skin that looks fresher by morning.

I’ve created this micro exfoliation treatment with natural bamboo and papaya to gently lift away dull skin, paired with apricot oil and shea to nourish and soothe.

It’s creamy, not gritty. Quick and easy to use. And designed for real skin — dry, sensitive, hormonal or menopausal.

Because great skin doesn’t come from beating it into submission. It comes from treating it with care — and giving it what it actually needs.

Award Winning Beauty with Ingredients your Skin Will Love

Not the latest, greatest 'hero' ingredient, just beautifully simple plant botanicals that work.

Amaranth C02 Extract

We include this powerful C02 botanical extract because it is great for supporting smooth and hydrated skin, and added bonus, it calms irritated, itchy skin.

Jojoba Oil

A favourite because it is extremely skin softening, is excellent for soothing dry skin, and for managing breakout prone skin, and is non-occlusive, so no blocked pores.

Rose Hip Oil

This orange beauty protects skin from environmental stressors, helping skin look its best.  Fatty acid rich, it is softening, nourishing and soothing.

About Us

I'm Olga, a plant obsessed 50ish woman based in Devon.

I got so fed up with the beauty products being offered to me:

Anti-ageing everything. Made up words. A 20 step face skin routine which no woman ever would have time to follow. Not to mention the latest 'hero' ingredient that would change my life.

And so I decided to create something different.

Better Beauty for Women

I love the creative process of melding beautiful plant oils into amazing beauty products that actually make a difference to how we look and feel.

Feel good beauty that can turn a bad day into a good day.

Not anti-ageing.  Not too many wrinkles, lines, too red, too dry, too oily. 

The beauty industry is built upon our insecurities.  It drives dissatisfaction with the result we feel bad about ourselves, and then sells us something to fix a problem we don't have. 

My hope is that our award winning products will help you feel beautiful, just as you are.

Perfection

Lovely and creamy without being heavy, just the right amount of exfoliating and the most delicate beautiful fragrance. Worth waiting for, another amazing addition to my Rose Tree collection, thank you Olga!

Brilliant Shelley - I'm so pleased to hear you are enjoying this - it has taken some time, but worth it! Olga 😂

Lovely creamy texture

It has a lovely creamy texture with just the right amount of exfoliation. Anymore would be ‘gritty’.
The fragrance is soft and gentle, not overpowering.
My skin feels lovely afterwards and feels even better the following morning after a night of the Rose and Pomegranate mask.

felt gently cleansing but not abrasive.

I was worried the exfoliator would clog my skin but it didn’t at all. The bamboo felt gently cleansing but not abrasive. After the exfoliator I applied an oil and the next day my skin felt really supple and clean.

Skin felt good afterwards!

My skin felt good afterwards and the texture is lovely and creamy. My husband (who has never exfoliated before) loved it and his skin feels soft and refreshed. I think my previous exfoliators have been overly harsh
