Volcanic Sand

Summary

Icelandic mineral grains that polish to smooth and refine texture.

Polish in the formula

Volcanic Sand sits in our formulas for one job: refining the feel and look of texture. We file it under Smoothing in this glossary because that is the effect its evidence actually supports, not because it is the most flattering label available.

Polish in the lava

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Polish in the evidence

Our record reads: CosIng (physical exfoliant). Where we cannot point to a specific study we say so, rather than implying one exists.

Polish and its limits

The research behind Volcanic Sand studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It supports what Volcanic Sand does. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
