Since this bar is meant to be used on delicate and sensitive areas of the body, it was not formulated with harsh scrubs that are typically found in body exfoliators. These harsh scrubs can cause further damage by compromising the skin barrier causing irritation that leads to infection and hyperpigmentation.
The ingrown bar has two types of gentle yet effective exfoliants:
a physical exfoliant (microexfoliating volcanic sand) which is the gentle scrubbing you will feel
a naturally chemical exfoliant (salicylic acid) which penetrates the pores and unclogs them to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs
