Hi Aubrey! We appreciate your feedback and are bummed to hear that you are not satisfied with our Bum + Body Cream. What you are smelling is our hero ingredient: oregano.
Oregano works to gently balance the skin’s microbiome (natural ecosystem) and kills any overgrowth of bacteria, yeast or fungus. To harness these antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal properties in our Bum + Body Cream, we use a potent oregano oil extract. Oregano does have a strong, herbal scent. We balance this scent to be more palatable with complimenting plant ingredients (like orange, mint and lemongrass). The scent is 100% natural and dissipates quickly after application, even though the cream smells strong in the jar and during application.
However, we hear you and understand this natural, plant-based, herbal scent is not for everyone! When formulating we prioritize the skin health benefits that our community experiences.
I hope you will consider coming back to purchase again in the future as our team works to improve the scent to be more subtle and as we launch new products!
