The base is hydrogenated Castor Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil, which means the scrub conditions the skin throughout the exfoliation process rather than simply abrading and rinsing. Lactic Acid in the formula adds a secondary chemical exfoliation layer, so the work is both physical and enzymatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy this exists\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysical exfoliants earn a mixed reputation in skincare because most of the products in the category use abrasive particles that are either too large and irregular (causing micro-tears) or too fine and synthetic (delivering no real exfoliation). Volcanic sand occupies a specific position in the particle-size spectrum : fine enough to produce a genuinely smooth result, uniform enough in shape to abrade the surface consistently without the cutting action of salt or apricot-kernel fragments. This formula treats the face and body as equally deserving of good ingredients : the same organic berry complex that appears in OVESSI's facial care (Blueberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Cloudberry : all organically sourced) is the antioxidant backbone here, providing ambient UV-related protection to the freshly exfoliated surface. Lactic Acid at a low inclusion level adds mild AHA activity without making the product a clinical exfoliant; it is present to complement the physical action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydrogenated Castor Oil forms the structural emollient base, creating the cream matrix that carries the volcanic sand particles in suspension. Caprylic\/Capric Triglyceride and Cetearyl Alcohol maintain the emulsion stability and contribute to the smooth, non-draggy texture during use. Glycerin, made using organic ingredients, provides surface hydration during contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolcanic Sand is the primary exfoliating material. Sourced from Iceland, it is a naturally occurring mineral particle of volcanic origin with an inherently fine, round-edged structure that limits surface trauma during physical exfoliation. Kaolin reinforces the oil-absorbing quality of the rinse. Lactic Acid and Citric Acid bring the pH into a range that is favourable for skin compatibility and also provides mild keratolytic support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe organic fruit complex : Blueberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, and Cloudberry : contributes polyphenol antioxidants that are particularly valuable on freshly exfoliated skin, which is transiently more sensitive to free-radical damage. Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, organically sourced, adds further emollient and antioxidant activity. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) stabilises the oil fraction and provides additional surface protection. Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate maintain preservation within the water phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn skin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDay one : the scrub applies smoothly and rinses cleanly; the skin feels immediately softer and more even, with no abrasion marks or redness. Week one : with two or three uses, dull surface texture is visibly improved on the face, shoulders, and upper arms; body skin that felt rough reads smoother under touch. Week four : consistent use produces a surface that holds moisture more evenly; the skin's general clarity and brightness have improved across both face and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply to dry or damp skin, massage gently in circular motions for thirty to sixty seconds, then rinse off thoroughly with water. Use two to three times per week, or once weekly for sensitive skin. On the face, follow with a toner or serum before moisturiser. On the body, follow with a body cream or oil applied to damp skin to lock in the conditioning benefit. Do not apply to broken, sunburned, or actively irritated skin. Avoid the eye area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small-batch boutique skincare house, made to order.
