Wintry Fix: Strawberry Sugar Body Scrub

Exfoliates Deposits Moisture Softens Strawberry Scent
$42.00
100 ml / 3.4 fl oz · jar · lasts 6 to 8 weeks

A body scrub that exfoliates and moisturizes in the same step, so you rinse off softer than you went in. White sugar and jojoba wax beads clear away dead skin while three organic oils, shea butter, coconut, and jojoba, deposit moisture onto the skin they just uncovered. CO2-extracted strawberry adds antioxidant protection and the fresh scent reviewers keep mentioning, and that scent is the fruit itself, not a fragrance additive. Formulated in small weekly batches in our studio and held at 4°C from raw ingredient to finished jar, so the oils reach your skin with their conditioning behavior intact. Most scrubs do half the job, the stripping half. This one does both.

Berry Boreal Bod body oil
Seal it in with Berry Boreal Bod. Wintry Fix lifts the dead layer and deposits moisture; follow with Berry Boreal Bod on damp skin to lock it in and add antioxidant protection. See Berry Boreal Bod →
How to Use
In the shower, weekly:
  1. Wet skin, scoop a small amount, and massage in firm circles
  2. Spend extra time on rough patches: elbows, knees, heels
  3. As the sugar dissolves, the oils activate. Rinse with warm water, finish cool
  4. Pat dry. Skin should feel velvety, not tight
Also works as: a lip scrub (a rice-grain amount, gentle circles, rinse) and pre-shave prep (exfoliate first for glide and less razor irritation). Tip: follow with Berry Boreal Bod while skin is still damp to seal everything in.
Full Ingredient List
We formulate with ingredients most brands can’t keep fresh. Because our formulas live their whole lives cold, the botanical oils and extracts that make a scrub actually moisturizing never get the chance to separate, go rancid, or oxidize before they reach your skin.

What’s doing the work: white sugar and jojoba wax beads exfoliate in sequence (sugar dissolves as you massage, the beads keep working the rough spots); organic shea butter, coconut oil, and jojoba oil deposit moisture during the scrub itself; CO2-extracted strawberry adds antioxidant polyphenols, natural vitamin C, and the fresh scent, with no fragrance additive needed.

Full list: Sugar (Sucrose), Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Oil*, Jojoba (Simmondsia Chinensis) Oil*, Shea Nut (Butyrospermum Parkii) Butter*, Jojoba (Simmondsia Chinensis) Wax, Strawberry (Fragaria Vesca) Fruit Extract, Cetearyl Olivate, Vitamin E (non-GMO), Sweet Orange (Citrus x Sinensis) Oil*, Sorbitan Olivate, Ultramarine Pink.

* Organic Ingredient
Storage
Keep the jar sealed between uses and scoop with clean, dry hands or a clean spoon. Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Unlike our water-based formulas, this is an oil-and-sugar scrub, so it doesn’t need the fridge during daily use, and cold storage just hardens the butters. If the texture separates in a warm bathroom, stir with a clean spoon before use.
Common Questions
Can I use it on my face?
Wintry Fix is made for body skin. The sugar and jojoba beads are too much for the face. For facial exfoliation, reach for Yuki-Onna, which uses a gentler acid system for delicate skin.
How long does a jar last?
Most customers use a jar in 6 to 8 weeks with weekly full-body use. A little goes further than you’d expect.
Will it clog the drain?
No. Sugar dissolves in water, the jojoba wax beads melt with a warm rinse, and the oils rinse clean. Nothing builds up.

Three actives, full potency

Two exfoliants, three oils, one step

Cold-preserved from the moment it's formulated: no warm warehouses, no months on a shelf, no chemical stabilizers. Three actives reach your skin at the same potency as the day they were made. Tap a card to see the mechanism.

Exfoliates two ways

White Sugar + Jojoba Wax Beads

Two exfoliants, in sequence

White sugar crystals dissolve gradually as you massage, giving broad, even exfoliation that fades as you work. Jojoba wax beads don’t dissolve; they keep a gentle, steady pressure on the rough patches sugar alone can’t finish, the elbows, knees, and heels. Sugar handles the surface. The beads handle the stubborn spots.

Shea Butter + Coconut + Jojoba Oil

Moisture goes down as dead skin comes off

Three organic oils deposit moisture during the scrub itself, not after. Shea butter forms a protective lipid film the moment dead cells lift away. Coconut oil brings conditioning lauric acid. Jojoba oil is structurally close to skin’s own sebum, so it absorbs without a greasy residue. Together they replace the moisture barrier that exfoliation briefly disrupts.

Strawberry CO2 Extract

CO2-extracted fruit, not fragrance

Supercritical CO2 extraction pulls the fruit at low temperature, keeping the polyphenols and natural vitamin C that heat extraction destroys, for antioxidant protection on newly exposed skin and gentle brightening from natural fruit acids. It’s also the source of the scent reviewers keep mentioning. That scent is the strawberry itself, not a fragrance additive.

237× the heat exposure that degrades a warm-stored scrub before you ever open it. Wintry Fix skips all of it. The shea, coconut, and jojoba reach your skin still able to condition, and the strawberry keeps its antioxidants, so the scrub puts moisture back instead of only stripping it away.

So what does all that heat do?

The Problem Was Never Your Routine.

Preservatives fight one problem. Heat causes three.

Bacterial growth 1

Bacterial Digestion

Bacteria multiply in warm formulas. Preservatives suppress them. Cold slows them too, without adding to what your skin has to absorb.

Oxidation reactions 2

Redox Reactions

Heat drives chemical reactions that degrade vitamin C, ceramides, and peptides. Preservatives don't slow this process. Cold does.

Enzymatic activity 3

Enzymatic Activity

Plant enzymes keep breaking down botanical compounds after harvest. Preservatives don't affect this. Cold puts them on pause.

Skincare mini fridge with a rotten banana
About those beauty fridges

Cold Can't Unspoil the Banana

Everyone wants fresh skincare. That's why beauty fridges are everywhere. But chilling a conventional serum makes about as much sense as refrigerating an old banana.

Your serum absorbed 1,956 degree-days of heat before it ever met a fridge. A banana at least has the courtesy to turn brown; a degraded cream looks and feels identical to a fresh one.

Beauty fridges make conventional skincare cold at the end. Wild Ice is cold from the beginning.

From our studio to your door

Cold from the very first step

Every Wintry Fix jar is formulated in small weekly batches in our studio and held cold at 4°C, from raw ingredient through formulation.

Ingredients kept cold

Every ingredient stored at 4°C from the moment it arrives.

🧪

Formulated fresh

Formulated in small weekly batches, cold throughout.

📦

Held at 4°C

Finished bottles go straight into cold storage and stay there.

Shipped within days

Made fresh weekly, so actives are still active when they reach you.

So why don't all brands chill?

Between warm warehouses, hot freight, and un-chilled retail shelves, it's nearly impossible to get big while staying cold. The industry won't change until enough customers demand it. Someone had to take the plunge first, so we did.

Mila, founder of Wild Ice Botanicals

Fresh was never optional

I grew up in the Soviet Union watching my grandmother make skincare from her garden. It worked because it was fresh. There was no other option.

In 2018, I began cold-storing every ingredient and finished product. I hadn't changed a single formula; the reviews changed on their own. A national retailer offered us shelf placement but refused to refrigerate. We walked away.

Every product is made in our studio, in small weekly batches. I've worn every formula through three pregnancies. Every bottle is one I'd use on my own family.

Common questions about cold-preserved skincare

Frequently Asked Questions

Wintry Fix is formulated for body skin. The sugar crystals and jojoba beads give a level of physical exfoliation that’s right for thicker skin on the arms, legs, and torso but too aggressive for the face. For facial exfoliation, use Yuki-Onna instead, which uses a gentler triple-acid system designed for delicate skin.
Most people feel it the first time: skin steps out of the shower soft and smooth instead of tight and squeaky. The look and feel of rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels keeps improving over a few weekly uses as the oils go on depositing moisture.
The pink is ultramarine pink, a mineral pigment, not a synthetic dye. Because there are no synthetic stabilizers, the oils and sugar can settle or separate a little in a warm room. That’s normal and doesn’t affect how it works. Stir with a clean, dry spoon before use.
Most customers use a jar in 6 to 8 weeks with weekly full-body use. A little goes further than you’d expect; using it more often on targeted rough spots may shorten that.
No. White sugar dissolves completely in water. The jojoba wax beads are wax-based, so they melt with warm rinse water rather than building up the way coffee grounds or crushed shells can. The oils rinse clean.
Yes. The exfoliants are gentle (sugar dissolves, and the jojoba beads are smooth and round rather than jagged) and the oils are all well tolerated. There are no synthetic fragrances, no sulfates, and no chemical preservatives; the scent comes entirely from strawberry extract and sweet orange oil. If your skin reacts to new products, patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours.
Keep the jar sealed between uses and scoop with clean, dry hands or a clean spoon. Store at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. This is an oil-and-sugar formula, not water-based, so it doesn’t belong in the fridge during daily use; the cold just hardens the butters. If the texture separates in a warm bathroom, stir before use.
Yes. For lips, use a rice-grain amount in gentle circles, then rinse and pat dry, ready for smooth lipstick. Before shaving, exfoliate the area first: the beads clear dead skin around the follicle and the oils left behind add glide and reduce razor irritation.
No synthetic dyes (the pink comes from mineral ultramarine pink), no synthetic fragrances (the scent is strawberry extract and sweet orange oil), no chemical preservatives, no parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates, and no animal-derived ingredients. Wintry Fix is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
