Product Description
Pumice Powder Exfoliant, a distinctive addition to our scrub range, emphasising our commitment to sustainability through recycled products. Derived from volcanic ash, pumice powder forms during the solidification process of lava infused with gas bubbles. Despite sharing similar properties and chemical composition with glass, pumice is notably softer, rendering it an abrasive yet gentle exfoliant. Its unique texture effectively removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and rejuvenates the skin's appearance without resorting to harsh chemicals. With recent regulatory changes governing exfoliator usage, pumice has surged in popularity due to its efficacy in promoting skin renewal.

Frequently asked questions
What is pumice powder?
A natural volcanic mineral, formed when gas-rich lava cools quickly and traps tiny bubbles, then ground to a powder. It is similar in composition to glass but softer, so it gives a firm, natural mechanical exfoliation.
What is pumice powder used for?
It is the classic exfoliant for foot scrubs and foot creams, heavy-duty and workshop hand cleansers and exfoliating soaps, and can be used in body scrubs for a strong polish.
Is pumice a natural alternative to plastic microbeads?
Yes. Pumice is a natural mineral exfoliant, so it is widely used in rinse-off scrubs where plastic microbeads are no longer allowed. It is more abrasive than seed or bamboo exfoliants, so it is best kept to feet, hands and body rather than the face.
What pack sizes are available?
From 1 kg up to 25 kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
