{"product_id":"la-marina-vietri-body-scrub","title":"La Marina Vietri: Sea Salt Exfoliating Body Bar, 150g","description":"\u003ch4\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single body scrub bar from Blu Costiera, the Amalfi Coast brand founded by Antonio and Raffaella, a husband-and-wife team who left law to build something out of the coast they loved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Marina Vietri is sea salt and marine air — the smell of swimming off Vietri sul Mare, with salt still drying on your skin. It is a scrub rather than a plain soap: ultra-fine particles worked through the bar lift dead skin while you wash, and shea butter and jojoba oil keep it from drying you out. Triple-milled, dermatologically tested, EDTA-free, vegan, made in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wrapper is the reason this one belongs at Biordi. Those blue and turquoise fish are the signature motif of Vietri sul Mare — the same hand-drawn fish that artisans have been painting onto Vietri plates and platters for generations, here printed on paper. If you know the ceramics, you will recognize the fish immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt $10 it is the easiest Italian gift in the store: a stocking stuffer, a guest-room soap, a small thank-you that still arrives looking like something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e One boxed body scrub bar\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScent:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Marina Vietri — sea salt and marine notes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Triple-milled vegetable-based exfoliating soap with shea butter and jojoba oil\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy — Amalfi Coast, Campania\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegan · cruelty-free · dermatologically tested · EDTA-free\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep on a draining dish and let it dry fully between uses.

The closest thing in the range to the smell of the water itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between a scrub and a soap?\u003c\/strong\u003e The scrub is a solid bar like the soap, with ultra-fine particles worked through it that lift dead skin as you wash. It cleans and exfoliates in one step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the bar?\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 g — a full-size bar, not a guest soap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the fish on the package?\u003c\/strong\u003e They are the classic fish motif of Vietri sul Mare, the ceramic town on the Amalfi Coast, where artisans have painted this design onto plates and platters for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this vegan?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — vegan, cruelty-free, dermatologically tested and EDTA-free, with shea butter and jojoba oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it dry out my skin?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made with shea butter and jojoba oil rather than as a stripping cleanser, so it exfoliates without leaving skin tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a soap dish?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not this one. Blu Costiera's gift boxes include a hand-painted Vietri ceramic soap dish alongside the soap or scrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a good Italian wedding gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e On its own it is a favor or a shower gift rather than a wedding present. Buy several and they make good guest favors or place settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a good housewarming or hostess gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — it is the least expensive Italian gift in the store, and it arrives already boxed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy Italian gifts from Biordi rather than other retailers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Biordi has imported from Italy since 1946 and is a San Francisco Legacy Business.
