Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Skin is left refreshed, nourished, smooth and soft.
Source: Lookfantastic
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": sucrose, methyl gluceth-20.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion
Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and soften it
Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator
Source: From product name
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
