Want to meet Frank?
He’s a simple coffee scrub made with cold-pressed almond oil and a custom arabica coffee blend. frank comes all the way from Australia, but has now launched in the U.S. And it appears that it already has an amazing following so I was excited to check it out.
For a mom on the go, it can become difficult to indulge in “me” time, so frank is an easy way to get my body and mind feeling spa-fresh and rejuvenated without an appointment (who has time for that anyway?!). I’m into scrubs right now, making sure my skin feels softs and looks refreshed – even when I don’t necessarily feel so myself!
The scrub is a great, all-natural exfoliator, as the coffee grinds, sugar and sea salt buff away dry, dead skin, leaving bods silky smooth. In addition, it apparently stimulates blood flow, which targets stretch marks, cellulite and acne.
I tried the Original (it also comes in coconut & grapeseed and cacao) – here are its ingredients:
coffea robusta seed powder (coffee), prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, water (aqua), sodium chloride (salt), sucrose (brown sugar), citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) oil, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin e), fragrance (parfum)* * natural
The scrub comes in these cute packets.
As expected, it looks and feels like coffee!
Only a little scoop with your hand is needed to rub around any problem areas. Ideally you’re supposed to wait 5-10 min to let it dry but I find that hard since the water hits it before then. Regardless, the scrub feels great and leaves your skin feeling extra-moisturized from the oils. Also, it has a distinct coffee smell (although my daughter asked why the bathroom smelled like chocolate after I used it – ha).
My only issue with this scrub are the remnants it leaves at the bottom of the shower! It washes away, but my daughter asked me what the black dots were so I clearly missed a spot. Not a big issue, just make sure you point the showerhead to clear it all out!
The Original is only $14.95 and last a long time – Purchase online at Frank.
Check out their Instagram and Facebook pages for some great updates and lots of pictures (some before/after pics of those with some skin issues in you want to check out some results).
Samples were received for review.
I see this all over instagram but didn’t know what they were up until this post. This would make a really good gift. I normally make my own but the I too suffer from a messy tub afterwards. Must smell divine though :)
I love scrubs and I love coffee, so I would probably love this

I’m not a coffee drinker either, but I wouldn’t mind trying this. I’m like a lot of the others, I too love the smell of coffee!
I am not a coffee drinker whatsoever. However, the hubs is & I think he’d love this!
While I don’t drink coffee myself, I really do love the way it smells. I would definitely give this product a try!
Sounds like something I’m willing to give a try. Not so sure about the coffee smell though, I love coffee but don’t want to smell it in my bathroom lol :)
This is such a great idea. I would be willing to try.
I love the idea of this. My house can be filled with the smell of coffee all day I enjoy it that much. I have never heard of this product, I will have to try this.
what an interesting product. Not sure I would use it but willing to give it a try once.
