Deeply cleansing, our revitalizing scrub contains ecological Pumice to exfoliate, cold-pressed Neem oil and refreshing Spearmint to help remove impurities, brighten skin tone and quell congestion. Botanical Mulberry, Bearberry and Quassia work in synergy with naturally astringent Witch Hazel and collagen-boosting Arjuna to reduce excess sebum, minimize pores and leave skin soft and well hydrated.

How to use

Your Weekly Purifying Ritual
To maintain a clear, matte complexion and prevent the buildup of pore-clogging debris, integrate this polish into your regime 2–3 times per week.

Preparation: Begin by cleansing with our Purifying Face Wash to remove surface grime. Leave the skin damp to allow the polish to glide effectively without friction.

Application: Apply a pea-sized amount of the polish to your fingertips. Focus on the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) where sebum production and blackheads are most concentrated.

Mechanical Exfoliation: Using light, circular motions, massage the polish into the skin. Allow the Natural Volcanic Pumice to perform a controlled micro-buff of the surface texture. Do not apply heavy pressure; the mineral grains are designed to lift debris through gentle contact.

Enzymatic Activation: Let the polish sit on the skin for 30–60 seconds. This allows the Salicylic Acid in Wild Mint and the antibacterial properties of Neem to penetrate the pores and dissolve deep-seated congestion.

Rinse & Refine: Rinse thoroughly with cool water. The cold temperature helps to constrict the pores immediately after they have been cleared and maximizes the refreshing, anti-shine effect of the Spearmint and Witch Hazel.

Seal: Pat the skin dry and follow with the Purifying Facial Toner and Mattifying Day Cream to lock in hydration and maintain the skin's pH balance.

Active Ingredients

Glycerin - is a pure natural vegetable moisturizer which has humectant properties help to preserve skin’s homeostasis by drawing moisture from the environment to hydrate the surface layers of the skin. Evidence also suggests it enables other skin lipids to perform better.

Witch Hazel - Widely cultivated for its medicinal properties, and known for its heavily scented flowers, Witch Hazel's astringent properties, antioxidant and bioflavonoids content help to clarify skin. Traditionally, Witch hazel is used to bathe varicose veins and soothe irritant skin rashes.

Neem - is a very powerful antiseptic and antibacterial plant, which makes it an excellent natural ingredient for those who have excess skin oils, and require some mild cleansing properties throughout their skincare regime. Neem helps to alleviate Kapha and Pitta imbalances.

Tea Tree - With a zesty, revitalizing and somewhat pungent scent, tea tree is a highly powerful and antiseptic skin tonic which helps to cool, reduce inflammation, cleanse and encourage skin healing. It is often used to treat acne, breakouts and skin infections.

Orange - Cold pressed sweet orange essence has an uplifting scent containing vitamins A, B and C which feed dry, irritated and acne-prone skin, helping to heal blemishes and improve skin tone. It supports collagen formation in the skin and acts as a general tonic, suitable for all skin types.

Wild Mint - Cooling, stimulating and refreshing, this aromatic essential oil helps to purify and cleanse skin. Naturally astringent, Mint is rich in salicylic acid, a Beta Hydroxy Acid which helps to deeply cleanse to relieve congestion. In Ayurveda, mint alleviates Kapha and Vata.

Spearmint - has a sweet, fresh and menthol aroma which can help skin conditions such as acne and dermatitis. Packed with health benefiting vitamins A, C, B6, antioxidants and phytonutrients, Spearmint helps to relieve stress and fatigue and is more gentle than Peppermint.

FAQs

What is the best face wash scrub for blackheads and large pores?

The most effective treatment for blackheads combines physical exfoliation with oil-soluble acids. Our Purifying Facial Polish uses Natural Volcanic Pumice to dislodge oxidized sebum (blackheads) while Wild Mint provides a natural source of Salicylic Acid (BHA). This dual-action approach clears the pore lining and utilizes Witch Hazel to tighten the pore opening and reduce visible pore size.

Is it safe to use a facial scrub on acne-prone skin?

Yes, provided the exfoliant is non-abrasive. Unlike jagged shells that cause micro-tears and spread bacteria, this polish uses spherical Volcanic Pumice for a gentle micro-buff. Combined with the antibacterial properties of Neem and Tea Tree, it disinfects the skin surface during exfoliation to help heal active blemishes and prevent post-scrub breakouts.

Can I use this exfoliating polish for oily skin and shine?

Yes. Oily skin requires regular exfoliation to prevent dead skin cells from trapping sebum. This polish contains Quassia and Witch Hazel, natural astringents that regulate sebum production. The porous nature of Volcanic Pumice absorbs excess surface lipids, providing a long-lasting matte finish and refined skin texture.

Is this facial polish biodegradable and plastic-free?

Yes. Our Purifying Facial Polish is 100% plastic-free and contains no synthetic microbeads. We use Natural Volcanic Pumice, a sustainable and biodegradable mineral. This ensures an environmentally responsible skincare routine without compromising the clinical efficacy of the physical resurfacing treatment.
