Pumice Sand
Pumice is a volcanic ash which is formed when lava is permeated with gas bubbles during the solidification process. The pumice is very fragile and breaks apart quite easily into small particles. Because lava has similar properties and chemical make-up as glass, pumice is very abrasive but unlike glass, it is very soft. Pumice is the softest abrasive media in use today.
Pumice sand is used as a mild but effective abrasion suitable for a multitude of uses, including in hand pumice soap and pumice hand cleaner. In soap, pumice gives it a light abrasive quality which easily removes almost any grease or grime imaginable. Because pumice is a soft media and a natural mineral, it isn’t harsh or toxic to people or the environment. Pumice sand / powder has been used in abrasive hand pumice soap for decades - remember those old "Lava" soap commercials? Today pumice powder particles are used in foot scrubs, abrasive pumice hand cleaner, body & shower gels, facial scrubs and even kitchen counter cleaners.
