Wintry Fix: Strawberry Sugar Body Scrub
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.

How to Use
- Wet skin, scoop a small amount, and massage in firm circles
- Spend extra time on rough patches: elbows, knees, heels
- As the sugar dissolves, the oils activate. Rinse with warm water, finish cool
- Pat dry. Skin should feel velvety, not tight
Full Ingredient List
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.

Common Questions
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.
Most customers use a jar in 6 to 8 weeks with weekly full-body use. A little goes further than you’d expect.
No. Sugar dissolves in water, the jojoba wax beads melt with a warm rinse, and the oils rinse clean. Nothing builds up.

Linda K. Verified buyerTwo 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.
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.
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.
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.
Conventional skincare vs Wild Ice
One degree-day = one degree above refrigeration, for one day.
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.

More on why heat matters
Three short chapters: the journey, the chemistry, and the beauty-fridge problem
The Journey That Adds Up
The Problem Was Never Your Routine.
Preservatives fight one problem. Heat causes three.
1
Bacterial Digestion
Bacteria multiply in warm formulas. Preservatives suppress them. Cold slows them too, without adding to what your skin has to absorb.
2
Redox Reactions
Heat drives chemical reactions that degrade vitamin C, ceramides, and peptides. Preservatives don't slow this process. Cold does.
3
Enzymatic Activity
Plant enzymes keep breaking down botanical compounds after harvest. Preservatives don't affect this. Cold puts them on pause.
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.
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.
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.
