Product Spotlight
Cranberry-Yuzu Sugar Scrub

The very first sugar scrub we ever debuted way back in 2003, and still Bella Luccè’s very best seller to this day. A creamy blend of nourishing oils and rich shea butter, studded with real cane sugar and ruby red cranberry seeds to slough dead skin and restore your glow. It’s spring cleaning time for your skin too, you know? Find it here…at a very special price, for a very limited time.

Latest Obsession
Chocolate Covered Strawberries

When I think spring, I think of strawberries. And when I think of strawberries, I think of the big-as-my-fist models, dipped in milk chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate, sprinkled with nuts, dashed with coconut and studded with chocolate chips. Exhibit A: Shari’s Berries. They’re my never-fail, go-to gift and they always draw raves. Birthdays, thank you’s, anniversaries, apologies…there’s never a bad time to send a box, Hell, just send a box to yourself. :)

Ingredient of the Month
African Shea Butter

Revered for centuries by the women of Africa, shea butter is a renowned skin soother. Obtained from the karite nuts of a tree native to the West African tropics, the supple butter’s high concentration of fatty acids gives it the ability to deeply moisturize and retain the elasticity of the skin, while also protecting against the damaging effects of the sun. Bella Luccè is proud to use organic shea butter imported from the Ghana in our product collection.

Find it in: Vanilla Coconut Whipped Shea, Pumpkin Glow, Norwegian Oceanic Salt Rub
