Pumice Powder 10 g

What makes volcanic pumice powder a versatile abrasive ingredient

Pumice powder is a finely ground volcanic rock with a naturally porous structure, valued across several industries for its hardness and rough particle texture. In cosmetic manufacturing it is a common choice for body and foot scrubs, exfoliating pastes and callus-softening treatments, while dental laboratories rely on it as a component in tooth polishing pastes, and household chemical producers add it to abrasive cleaning pastes for removing stubborn stains from hard surfaces. Another significant field of use is jewelry finishing and light metal polishing, where fine pumice grades create a matte surface without leaving deep scratches. This product belongs to the Mineral fillers category, which brings together natural and synthetic powder ingredients used to build texture and functional properties in finished formulas.

The 10 gram pack size is intended for home cosmetic making and small trial batches, allowing formulators to test the right abrasive concentration in a scrub recipe before scaling up production. In home practice pumice is most often blended into body and foot scrubs alongside base oils, waxes and emulsifiers. Dosage depends on the desired exfoliation intensity: gentle formulations typically use around 3-5 percent of total weight, while stronger treatments for rough heel skin may go up to 10-15 percent. The powder should be added at the final mixing stage, into a cool or slightly warm base, to prevent settling or clumping of particles, keeping the mixture temperature below 40 degrees.

Pumice pairs well with other mineral fillers and texturizing additives. Combined with Talc Powder 50 g, it produces a softer abrasive base, since talc smooths out the roughness of larger pumice particles and makes the scrub more comfortable to use. For solid melt-and-pour style scrubs, formulators often rely on Vegan cosmetic base, 10 g, into which the abrasive powder is stirred once the melted mass has cooled slightly. When the finished product should deliver not only exfoliation but also a soft velvety finish on the skin, many recipes add Softouch 5 g, which gives the surface a pleasant matte feel.

Pumice powder should be stored in a dry, tightly sealed container away from moisture and direct sunlight, since exposure to water causes the particles to clump together. Under proper storage conditions the material retains its abrasive properties for a long time without losing quality. Before adding it to a formula, it is advisable to sift the powder through a fine sieve to remove coarser fragments that could irritate the skin during intensive use.
