Volcanic Sand Face Scrub Project
Volcanic black sand comes from a volcanic beach on the South Coast of Iceland. In this scrub, it provides a mild yet effective exfoliation.
The base of this scrub is a combination of gentle kaolin clay and Natural Castile Liquid Soap Base. The base is made from olive oil, which creates a gentle lather that won’t dry out the skin. It also helps the clay and charcoal wash off the skin completely. A touch of seaweed extract adds extra skin-loving properties.
This scrub is lightly scented with Coastal Rain Fragrance Oil, which is a great unisex option. It makes a great gift!
