Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Body Scrub Review

Please run, don’t walk and grab yourself some Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Body Scrub! As you may know Trader Joe’s extended their Holiday 2024 Beauty Collection to include a new Candy Cane Body Scrub that joins the Shimmering Candy Cane Body Butter that launched last year (and is also, available again this year!). I wasn’t the biggest fan of the body butter last year and don’t get me started on the Hot Cocoa Whipped Body Scrub they introduced which is thankfully, not back! But Candy Cane Body Scrub? I’m all about it and highly recommend backups!

Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Body Scrub comes in a double-lidded container that’s 8 oz in size and will set you back $6.99. The dual-lid is pretty cool as it opens easily from the top and you can’t lose the lid or drop it on the floor of your shower or deal with unscrewing while your hands are wet!

Don’t quote me but I think the price went up slightly on scrubs as I recall being $5.99 and just this past Fall when Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Body Scrub launched the price went up a buck. It’s not a big deal at all since the scrubs are great but always worth a mentioning when the price of something goes up. Trader Joe’s Scrubs aren’t as big as Tree Hut Scrub’s which are 18 oz and around $11 to $12 dollars but it isn’t too bad a deal either.

This is formulated with coarse sugar, coconut oil peppermint oil, and biodegradable jojoba beads. I’d liken the consistency to the Brazil Nut Scrub but it feels softer to me and seems to have a richer lather. It’s quite course and grainy which I love as it makes my skin super smooth. It isn’t super oily so no slipping in the shower but does have a slightly oily feel on skin which leaves it super smooth and soft. A little water creates a nice lather and it melts down as you scrub and has a pleasant cooling effect thanks to the peppermint oil. And yes, it smells just like a candy cane!

I absolutely loved it. They formulated this really well and I brought a backup jar as I really loved the texture and thought it did a grab job making my dry elbows and knees super smooth. It’ll be disappearing soon so if you want it I highly recommend heading to your local store to grab a jar or two.

Tried it?
