What are the key active ingredients?
The key active ingredients are finely ground quartz for physical exfoliation and lactic acid for chemical exfoliation. It also contains Rosemary Leaf, Lavender, and Evening Primrose oil extracts.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
The product is formulated to be suitable for all skin types. However, as it contains both physical granules and an acid (lactic acid), those with very sensitive or reactive skin may wish to perform a patch test first or use it less frequently.
How often should I use this exfoliating paste?
For most skin types, using it 1-2 times per week is recommended as part of a regular skincare routine. Over-exfoliation can compromise the skin's barrier, so it's best to start with once a week and adjust based on your skin's tolerance.
What is the consistency of the product?
It is a paste, which typically has a thicker, grainier texture than a gel or cream due to the inclusion of the finely ground quartz particles.
Does it have a fragrance?
Yes, it contains natural aromatic extracts from Rosemary Leaf and Lavender, which provide its characteristic herbal, botanical scent.
What is the best way to apply it?
Apply to damp skin, gently massage in circular motions to exfoliate, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. It is designed to be used before applying a moisturiser.
How long does a 75ml tube typically last?
