- Face & Body Scrub
In more words
- How often
- Body two or three times a week; face once or twice, lightly
- Feels like
- A fine, even grain in a creamy base
- Works with
- Kaolin, the soft white clay in the same jar
An actual volcano did the hard work. Iceland’s black beaches are lava that met cold sea, shattered, and has been rolled smooth by the waves ever since.
Those rounded grains are why the Scrub is gentle enough for a face. Sharp, irregular particles can scratch; sand that has been tumbled for centuries buffs instead. We sieve it fine and even, then hold it in a creamy base with kaolin clay, so every pass feels the same.
Unlike plastic microbeads, banned from rinse-off products in the UK since 2018, sand is just sand. It goes down the drain and back to being the bottom of something.
