Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

What kinds of exfoliants are included in this range?

This may include physical exfoliants such as powders, grains, salts, sugars, clays, or other ingredients used to help remove buildup from the skin or scalp. Check each product page for the exact type and intended use.

What is the difference between a physical exfoliant and another type of exfoliating ingredient?

A physical exfoliant works by gently buffing the surface through texture or fine particles. Other exfoliating ingredients may work differently, so it is best to check the product page for how each product is intended to be used.

Can exfoliants be used on both the face and body?

Not always. Some exfoliants are better suited to the body, while others may be fine enough for more delicate areas. Always check the product page before using an exfoliant on the face.

How often should I use an exfoliant?

This depends on the product, the texture, and how your skin or scalp responds. It is usually best to start gently and follow the product guidance rather than using it too often.

Are all exfoliants the same in texture?

No, they can vary a lot. Some are finer and gentler, while others are coarser and better suited to areas that can handle a more robust scrub.

Exfoliants are ingredients used in skincare formulations to help remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, leaving it feeling smoother and more refreshed.

They are commonly used in products such as facial scrubs, body scrubs, exfoliating cleansers and polishing treatments.

Exfoliating ingredients work by gently buffing away dull surface cells, helping improve skin texture and allowing other skincare ingredients to absorb more effectively.
