What it does
Mineral-rich volcanic soil/ash used in cosmetics as a natural oil-absorbing and mildly exfoliating ingredient. As an humectant ingredient, it is particularly valued for mineral-rich absorbent marketed for oil control and mild exfoliating texture.
Skin type guide
Works across all skin types, but is especially beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin. Oily skin types also benefit — proper hydration helps regulate sebum production.
How to use it
Apply to slightly damp skin to maximise moisture retention — humectants work by drawing water to the skin, so they need a water source to pull from. Use early in your routine, before heavier creams or oils.
