The product
Is Becky vegan?
Yes — 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Becky is formulated with 98% natural ingredients. No animal testing. Ever.
$20 for 2oz — why?
Honest answer: our product doubles in volume when wet, so a 2oz jar lasts most people 4–6 weeks of 2–3x weekly use. All our ingredients are sourced in the US. We're made in small batches in Portland, OR. We use the same cosmetic-grade walnut shell powder and rosehip oil that high-end face products use. We cover the cost of shipping. We donate 1% of every sale to Every Mother Counts. And we spent about $5 on ads to get you here. 😉
How do I store my scrub?
Cool, dry place, lid closed. Don't leave it in a steamy shower for weeks on end — the walnut + oil combo can dry out or separate. Shelf life: 24 months sealed, 12 months opened.
Why should I scrub at all?
Skin sheds dead cells every 28 days. On the butt — where friction, sweat, and tight clothing slow that turnover — dead cells trap oil and bacteria in follicles, which is what causes buttne, ingrowns, and dark spots. Exfoliation accelerates the turnover. Becky does that physically (walnut shell) while delivering rosehip oil for tone, jojoba and aloe for moisture, and pro-vitamin B5 for repair.
How often should I scrub?
2–3 times per week. Not daily. If you're new to physical exfoliation, start with once a week and ramp up. Less is genuinely more here — over-scrubbing inflames skin and can make buttne worse.
How long until I see results?
Texture: 2–3 weeks. Buttne calming: 3–4 weeks. KP smoothness: 4–6 weeks. Dark spot fading: 8–16 weeks. Stretch mark softening: 12+ weeks. Consistency matters more than intensity — three scrubs a week for two months beats seven scrubs a week for one week.
Can I use Becky on a tattoo?
Not a freshly inked one. Wait until the tattoo is fully healed (4–6 weeks for most) before scrubbing over it. Once healed, it's fine — may even help keep colors vibrant by clearing dead skin.
Do you test on animals?
No. We would never. Becky is Leaping Bunny-standard cruelty-free.
Is it safe during pregnancy or while nursing?
The Becky scrub contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, or other ingredients flagged during pregnancy. That said, every pregnancy is different — always run new skincare past your OB/GYN, especially in the first trimester.
Doesn't walnut shell cause micro-tears?
Not when it's milled finely and uniformly — which Becky's is. The issue with mass-market walnut scrubs (like the famous St. Ives Apricot Scrub) is that their particles are jagged and too coarse for facial skin. Becky uses cosmetic-grade walnut shell powder, sized specifically for butt skin, which is thicker and more durable than your face. Read more: The Butt Skincare Routine.
Can I use Becky on places other than my butt?
Yes. Becky works on inner thighs, upper arms (for KP), and the bikini line. Avoid mucous membranes — don't apply internally. On the bikini line, exfoliate before hair removal and wait 24–48 hours after shaving or waxing.
Skin conditions
Will Becky help with buttne (butt acne)?
Yes — most "butt acne" is actually folliculitis (inflamed hair follicles), and exfoliation is one of the most effective home treatments. Pair Becky with a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide body wash for fastest results. Full buttne protocol here.
Will it help with keratosis pilaris (KP / chicken skin)?
Yes — KP is one of the conditions Becky is built for. Walnut shell powder physically dislodges the keratin plugs that cause KP bumps; rosehip oil and pro-vitamin B5 help with the redness and discoloration. Pair with a daily AHA lotion for best results. Full KP guide here.
Will it fade dark spots / hyperpigmentation?
Yes — rosehip seed oil contains vitamin A precursors with strong evidence for fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The exfoliation also accelerates the turnover of pigmented cells. Expect 8–16 weeks to see meaningful fading. Pair with a daily niacinamide or vitamin C body lotion for faster results. Full dark-spot protocol here.
Can Becky help with stretch marks?
It can soften the appearance, especially of newer red/purple stretch marks. Rosehip oil and the exfoliation combo are some of the best evidence-backed natural approaches. Older silvery stretch marks fade more slowly and incompletely — anyone selling a guaranteed "cure" is lying. Expect 12+ weeks to see softening.
Will it help with cellulite?
Cellulite isn't a skin problem — it's a structural fat-and-connective-tissue pattern that 80–90% of women have. No cream cures it. What helps with appearance: the circulation boost from the scrub motion, staying hydrated, and building glute muscle underneath. Becky helps with the surface texture, not the underlying structure.
