Grit & Grind Bar
Rugged Woodsman Scent
Exfoliation meets endurance for hardworking skin.
Built for hard-working hands and rough patches. Fine pumice smooths without gouging while Cambrian blue clay, kaolin, and a touch of zinc oxide keep the cleanse comfortable. Aloe and coconut milk add slip so you get a satisfying scrub, not a scratchy one.
Overview
A no-nonsense exfoliating bar for hands, elbows, heels — anywhere that needs real smoothing power without the sting. Pumice buffs; clays refine; aloe and coconut milk keep glide high and scratch low. Rinses clean, leaves skin ready for work or rest.
Why You’ll Love It
- Fine pumice smooths rough, dry patches without harsh gouging
- Cambrian blue clay + kaolin refine and freshen
- Zinc oxide adds a soft, comfortable feel post-rinse
- Aloe + coconut milk cushion the scrub (less drag, more glide)
- Rugged Woodsman aroma is woodsy, grounding, and spa-soft
Best For
- Callused hands (mechanics, climbers, gardeners), elbows, heels, knees
- Body use 2–4×/week; not designed for daily facial use
- Anyone who wants a satisfying scrub without feeling stripped
Key Actives & Infusions
- Pumice (Fine) – uniform mechanical exfoliation to smooth texture
- Kaolin (White Clay) – gentle refinement; supports slip
- Cambrian Blue Clay – mineral-rich clay that helps lift residue and refresh feel
- Zinc Oxide (non-nano) – lends a soft, soothing post-cleanse touch
- Aloe Vera – polysaccharides for glide and comfort
- Coconut Milk – creamy lather and cushioned after-feel
- Cracked Black Pepper – subtle sensory tingle to energize the ritual
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E) – antioxidant support and silky glide
Infusion Note: Clays and zinc are pre-dispersed for an even, non-gritty skin feel; pumice is selected in a fine grade so it buffs efficiently without sharp edges.
The Science
Why this scrub feels strong but not scratchy. Exfoliation here is primarily mechanical: fine pumice uses rounded micro-particles to dislodge built-up keratin and surface grime. Pairing it with clays adds gentle adsorption (lifting residue and oil), while aloe and coconut milk reduce friction so you get consistent buffing without micro-tears.
- Pumice: Lightweight volcanic glass with a porous structure; when sized finely it abrades uniformly for smoother texture.
- Kaolin & Cambrian blue clay: Fine mineral platelets that help refine by binding excess oils and residues as you massage.
- Zinc oxide: In wash-off formats, it contributes to a soft, comfortable feel post-rinse — helpful when you’re exfoliating frequently.
- Formulation balance: The creamy base maintains slip to minimize drag, so skin feels refreshed, not raw.
Plain-speak: It’s a controlled, cushioned scrub — strong on roughness, easy on skin.
