Product Reviews by Experts
This little lip scrub is such a treat- it’s got just the right amount of grit to exfoliate without being harsh and it leaves your lips feeling buttery-soft, not stripped. I love that it’s not sticky or overly sweet and the texture is super smooth with zero mess. It’s one of those products you can use quickly before makeup or as part of a longer self-care moment. My lips felt genuinely nourished after using it, not just polished. It’s clear POC Beauty isn’t just about looking good, their ethics are solid. I really appreciated their focus on biodegradable, micro-plastic-free exfoliants and the fact they are cruelty-free, vegan and using fair-trade ingredients like mango and shea butter. The transparency around testing and sourcing gives it that extra layer of trust and I love seeing an Australian brand doing things the right way, from product to purpose.
Having never used a lip scrub before, it was great to try the POC Beauty- POC Lip Scrub! The scrub is textured and you can see the various ingredients that exfoliate your lips leaving them nice and smooth. It comes with a handy silicone applicator. I also love that the scrub uses micro-plastic free exfoliants like coconut shell and brown sugar and that the brand champions representation and inclusiveness.
I have naturally big lips with a tendency to get dry over winter – this truly kept my lips feeling plump, soft and moisturised and I wasn’t needing to reach for the lip balms as much. I think this brand really goes above and beyond to educate others and be aligned with their values. Love the glass and low fuss packaging!
