SAND
Safety grade: A
Sand is a fine granular material made up of tiny particles of minerals and rock, commonly found on beaches and in deserts. In cosmetics, it's used as a gentle exfoliating ingredient.
Sand acts as a physical exfoliant in cosmetic products, gently removing dead skin cells and promoting a smoother, more refined skin texture.
