Therapium VULCARIS™ Polishing Face & Body Scrub
A creamy face and body scrub with real volcanic sand.
Real volcanic sand cushioned in a cream base with kaolin clay, organic sunflower seed oil and four organic berry extracts, in a 170 ml jar.
What it does
- Buffs away rough, dull surface flakes — fine natural volcanic sand gently polishes the skin's surface to reveal a smoother, brighter-looking finish.
- Cushioned, gentle polish — soft white kaolin clay sits in the cream base alongside the sand, so the scrub feels creamy rather than scratchy.
- Cushioning emollient cream base — hydrogenated castor oil, caprylic triglyceride and organic sunflower oil protect skin feel during massage.

- 2Massage gently in circles — let the sand do the work, not pressure

Polished, smooth skin with natural volcanic sand
A creamy face and body polish with natural volcanic sand and kaolin clay in an emollient base, designed to buff away rough, dull surface flakes.
Visible benefits
Texture & pores
- A silky, non-greasy feel — caprylic/capric triglyceride.
- Polished, smoother-feeling skin — fine natural exfoliating particles.
- A creamy texture that does not dry — cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, not a drying one.
Cleansing & freshness
- Versatile face and body formula — use on dry skin for firmer polishing or on damp skin in the shower for a gentler exfoliating cleanse.
Hydration
- Softer, comfortable skin — glycerin draws water into the surface layers.

What the science says
Emollient cream base — Research on moisturising ingredients notes that emollients help keep skin smooth, while humectants hydrate the outermost skin layer. Results depend on the whole formula and on regular use. [1]
Glycerin — A humectant that draws water into the outermost skin layer to maintain softness and suppleness, so skin does not feel tight. [2]
The cited research looks at emollients and glycerin in general; it did not test our scrub. Here kaolin (ingredient 9) and volcanic sand (ingredient 10) do the polishing, which is purely physical, in a base of hydrogenated castor oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride and glycerin. Lactic acid is ingredient 20 of 26, in a small amount, there to balance the pH; we do not claim an AHA peel from it. Four organic berry extracts come after the fragrance, in small amounts.
These are published studies on the ingredients, not tests of this product. Study concentrations and formulas differ from ours; individual results vary.
