Product Overview

Good For: All skin types

Our organic Adzuki Bean Micrograins offer a gentle, effective way to exfoliate and cleanse without disrupting the skin’s natural balance. Finely milled adzuki beans softly buff away dull, dry surface cells while helping absorb excess oil and remove pore-clogging debris.

Used in traditional Japanese skincare for centuries, adzuki beans naturally contain saponins, mild plant-based compounds that help cleanse the skin without harsh detergents. When activated with water, these silky micrograins provide light foaming action that leaves skin feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed—not stripped.

This gentle exfoliant is ideal for regular use and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone, or easily congested skin.

Why It Works

Silky micrograins exfoliate gently without scratching or damaging the skin
Removes dead skin cells, helping reveal smoother, brighter-looking skin
Helps unclog pores by absorbing excess oil and lifting away impurities
Encourages healthy skin turnover for improved texture and radiance
Safe for acne-prone and sensitive skin, including blackheads and enlarged pores

Unlike harsh scrubs that rely on sharp particles or synthetic abrasives, adzuki bean powder provides controlled, even exfoliation that respects the skin barrier and natural oils.

A Simple, Versatile Skincare Staple

Adzuki bean micrograins can be used in multiple ways—as a gentle facial scrub, a cleansing polish, or blended with other natural ingredients for customized complexion care.

Our organic adzuki beans are stone-ground at a small Amish mill here in Ohio, ensuring freshness, quality, and a beautifully fine texture.

How To Use

Directions:

Simple Facial Scrub: Place about 1/2 teaspoon of powder in your palm. Add a few drops of warm water--enough to form a paste. Apply to wet face with wet fingertips, gently massaging in small circles, avoiding eye area. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Optional--before drying, splash with a bit of cool water to close the pores.

The Simple Facial Scrub is great all by itself. If you like to experiment--there are many ways to use our versatile Organic Adzuki Micrograins!

Facial Mask: In a small bowl, mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of powder with 1 to 3 teaspoons of water. Apply mixture to your face and allow the paste to remain on face until it dries a bit (about 10 minutes) and gently rinse. Fun Tip---replace the water with green tea, yogurt, pure aloe vera gel or for extra moisturizing--one of our facial oils!
Exfoliate & Moisturize: Make a paste with the Adzuki powder and warm water. Add a dollop of your favorite Chagrin Valley moisturizer, face oil or olive oil, massage and rinse.
Exfoliate & Cleanse: Lather your favorite Chagrin Valley Complexion Soap, our Buttery Face Wash in your hand and mix in a small amount of Adzuki powder. Wash your face and rinse.

We recommend using this scrub once or twice a week when you first start. It is gentle enough to use more often if you wish, but always remember to listen to your skin and to pay attention to seasonal changes.
