How does volcanic ash exfoliation work?
When dull surface buildup keeps skin from feeling smooth and fresh, fine volcanic-ash particles exfoliate physically as you massage and rinse.
In current US Facial Resurfacer, selected Vanuatu ash works beside walnut shell powder for smoother-feeling, fresher-looking skin. SeneGence selects Vanuatu volcanic ash from a downwind deposit approximately 1.5 kilometers from Mount Yasur's active vent. During that airborne journey, larger fragments settle sooner, helping concentrate a finer particle range farther from the vent; the material chosen for SeneGence is selected for a near-spherical particle profile. Use a small amount on clean, moist skin with light circular motions, avoid the eye area, and rinse well. Use twice weekly or as needed; redness is not the goal.
Smoothing Body Scrub is a separate Mexico-market body formula that pairs volcanic ash with pumice. Shop the current US Facial Resurfacer.
