Bora White Sand & Tahitian Volcanic Black Sand

Natural Sands from the Pacific Islands makes an exotic, and intensely exfoliating addition to hand, foot, and body scrubs.  These ethically harvested beach sands are collected under strict guidelines to ensure sustainability, and are sanitized for safe use in skin care products.  Though these Sands do make excellent exfoliants, they can be a little intense.  Keep this in mind when formulating. 

These Sands come in two varieties, Bora White Sand, and Tahitian Black Sand.  Bora White Sand is composed primarily of crushed coral or calcium carbonate.  It has a bright, white color, which adds a soft, lovely appearance to scrubs, soaps, and other exfoliating products.  Tahitian Black Sand is formed by volcanic lava, and has a gorgeous black color.

I can't wait to try both of these products. I make a lot of dry facial masques and these would make a couple of terrific ones.

Hi Sue. These sands would make an interesting addition
to facial masks,
however they would probably make too coarse of an exfoliant for
delicate facial skin.  You might want to check out our Coral Calcium
Powder instead.  Like the Bora Bora White Sand, it is made from
crushed, fossilized coral, but it has a much softer, more finely milled
consistency which would work beautifully in a facial mask.
