What is it?

Natural physical exfoliant, known for its ability to smooth skin effectively yet gently.

What is it for?

Removes dead skin cells and impurities with a gentle mechanical action, improving skin texture and softness. Smooths and evens out the skin’s surface.

Perlite is an inorganic powder of volcanic origin, used in cosmetics for its ability to exfoliate mechanically in a uniform, gentle way. Thanks to its controlled particle size, it effectively removes dead skin cells and impurities without compromising the skin barrier. Compared to other physical exfoliants, such as sugar, which dissolves quickly on contact with water,  Perlite maintains its consistent structure during massage, ensuring a more stable and prolonged exfoliation.

This allows for a more effective and gentle action, suitable even for sensitive skin. The result is smoother, brighter skin that is ready to better absorb subsequent treatments.
