Key Features

  • Volcanic sand: fine grains that remove dead skin cells without scratchingbrightening

Frequently asked questions

Why volcanic sand and not regular scrub particles?
Volcanic sand consists of fine mineral grains with rounded edges. These roll over your skin instead of scratching it, which is what happens with hard pits or nut shells. You remove dead skin cells without creating micro-tears in your skin barrier. Moreover, it is a natural mineral, not a microplastic.
Can I use this scrub on my face and my body?
Yes, the formula was developed for both. Your face is thinner and more sensitive, so limit it to one or two times a week there. On your body, especially on knees, elbows, and feet, you can use it more often and with more pressure.
How often can I scrub?
Face one to two times a week, body two to three times. More is not better here. Over-exfoliating damages your skin barrier and actually results in duller, irritated skin, exactly the opposite of what you want.
Can I combine this with a fruit acid or retinol?
Not on the same day. Mechanical scrubbing and chemical exfoliating stack up. Use them on separate days, for example, the scrub on Sunday and your Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner on the other evenings.
Does this scrub dry out my skin?
No, and that is the difference from a classic grain scrub. The base is creamy due to hydrogenated castor oil and sunflower oil, which keeps your skin nourished while scrubbing. After rinsing, it feels smooth, not tight.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Be careful. The grains are soft, but the product contains perfume with three natural allergens: benzyl salicylate, limonene, and citral. If you have very reactive skin, limit it to your body, or do a test on the inside of your arm first.
Can I use this if I have acne?
Not on active pimples. Scrubbing over an inflamed pimple opens the skin and spreads bacteria. It can be used on areas without active impurities. If you primarily have acne, look into our Acne Spot Care and Purifying Toner instead.
Does this product contain nuts or gluten?
No, the product is labeled nut-free and gluten-free, and is completely vegan. The castor oil comes from the castor bean, which is botanically not a nut.
How does the scrub smell?
Fresh and green. Cucumber with lemon, sweet citrus peel, and a hint of freshly mown grass. The scent comes from perfume with natural essential oils, including bitter orange peel oil.
