Exfoliating Volcanic Ash 500g

Exfoliating Volcanic Ash 500g 240 mesh Recommended Use: A gray abrasive of volcanic origin (usually 2 to 20% on a cream or gel base). Precautions: Unlike ash that forms when burning wood or other combustible materials, volcanic ash is hard and abrasive, rather than soft and fluffy. It does not dissolve in water and conducts electricity, especially when wet. It often smells of sulfur. Volcanic ash is not poisonous, but its inhalation can cause problems for people whose respiratory system is already compromised by disorders such as asthma or emphysema. The abrasive texture can cause irritation and scratches on the surface of the eyes. People who wear contact lenses should wear glasses if there is dust. In addition, the combination of volcanic ash with the moisture of the lungs can create a substance similar to liquid cement. People should also be careful to filter the air they breathe with a damp cloth or face mask.
