Coconut Ash Scrub™

(Body Scrub)

4.56 ounces or 135ml

Volcanic Ash has long been used by Melanesians for treating a wide range of skin infections because it helps to cleanse, purify and protect the skin by destroying bacteria. The ash is also a totally natural exfoliant that acts to gently but effectively, remove the outer layer of dead skin cells.

This Virgin Coconut Oil body scrub, blended with Cocoa Butter and ash, will leave your skin with a smooth, healthy skin glow.

Coconut Oil is a natural body scrub exfoliant, as is real Volcanic Ash - our Volcanic Earth Coconut Ash Body Scrub has both.

Ingredients: Pure water, Volcanic Ash, Virgin Coconut Oil, Ngali Oil, Emulsifying Wax, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Coconut, Lime and Vanilla essential Oils.

Features:

• Moisturizing body scrub incorporating real volcanic ash as a gentle exfoliant
• Blended with cocoa butter to deeply moisturize and soothe.
• Removes the outer layer of dead skin cells.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF VOLCANIC ASH

Health benefits of Volcanic Ash on the skin have been known for centuries by the native Melanesians - especially those that live near any of the nine (9) active volcanoes of Vanuatu.

The benefits of Volcanic Ash on the skin extend to the treatment of a wide variety of infections due to its antibacterial, antiviral, anti-yeast and overall disinfectant qualities. Volcanic Ash is high in Sulphur, an active Mineral ingredient which not only helps the body to resist bacteria but actually destroy it. Sulphur exists in your haemoglobin and connective body tissue: -

• to disinfect the blood;
• stimulate bile secretion;
• aid the oxidation reactions in the body
• protect the protoplasm of cells; and
• for the synthesis of Collagen (one of the main proteins needed for the structural integrity of your skin).

Sulphur slows down the aging process because of its ability to protect against the toxic effects of pollution and radiation. It is part of the chemical structure of the amino acids glutathione, taurine, cysteine, and methionine.

Volcanic Ash is truly Mother Nature's natural skin purifier. Not only is it rich in minerals, its exfoliating properties mean that it is ideal for removing the dead outer layers of skin as it cleanses the skin in the process. Volcanic ash particles are finely crushed and may be as small as 1/1,000th of an inch (or 0.025mm). 

The ash does not dissolve in water, so it makes for a fantastic, mild exfoliant. We also use volcanic ash in our foot scrubs and body scrubs because of its purification and cleaning qualities.

Volcanic ash is quite similar to fine sand (silicon) and the mineral particles are tiny (easily (under 2 mm across). The ash is ejected from the mouth of the volcano, along with quite big, volcanic rocks. This plume of ash, rock, and pumice also contains super-heated steam. This violent volcanic activity (known as phreatic eruptions) shatters some of these rocks and the volcanic magma divides into very small particles. This plume erupting out of the volcano vent or vents results in these very fine particles of ash being scattered for long distances giving the appearance of a moonscape.

Volcanic ash mixed into the earth will bond to water, under pressure. Pure ash, mixed with spring or mineral water, is used to create mud baths (like in a spa) and facial mud masks.

MORE BENEFITS OF VOLCANIC ASH ON THE SKIN

Volcanic Ash is one of the best-kept secrets of the Volcanic Earth Healing Centre Spa. It uses the ash extensively in signature Volcanic Ash spa treatments to help address skin rashes, cellulite, blemishes, damaged skin, wrinkles, eczema, psoriasis, acne and even stretch marks. 

It is also EXCELLENT in exfoliating SOAPS, especially if you have oily skin.

Our Virgin Coconut Oil is unrefined and so it retains elevated levels of antioxidants that penetrate the underlying connective tissues of your skin to prevent and protect against the formation of free radicals. The secret to this natural, non-greasy, anti-aging moisturizer is our pure, Virgin  Coconut Oil. 

Virgin Coconut Oil has been found to: - 

• Prevent premature aging of the skin. 
• Heal and repair damaged skin tissue. 
• Help bring back a youthful appearance.  
• Assist in the prevention of liver spots and other blemishes caused by aging and over exposure to sunlight. 

How we make our 100% PURE VIRGIN COCONUT OIL? 

The main issue with coconut Oil for the skin is to make sure that you use the right type of coconut oil as most of the coconut oil on the marketplace is low-quality copra oil with little health benefits for the skin or the human body in general. The oil is not organic, virgin nor natural. It doesn't even have the aroma of coconut oil. So, be wary when it comes to sourcing coconut oil for your skin or as a hair conditioning agent. 

The best coconut Oil for the skin is proper Virgin Coconut Oil cold pressed within a few hours of cracking the coconuts. 

Our Virgin Coconut Oil achieves this through the DME Method of coconut oil production. DME stands for Direct Micro Expelling and our oil is handmade, natural, raw and produced by Volcanic Earth within 1 to 3 hours of opening the nut. 

Consequently, it retains the distinct fragrance and taste of coconuts, whereas the copra-based refined coconut oils have no taste or fragrance at all due to the refining process. 

Our Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is not only naturally organic, it is also unhydrogenated, high in antioxidants (which fight free radicals that cause us to age faster) and free from impurities.

Why is organic coconut oil generally the best type of oil for you to use on your skin? 

The answer is free radicals. 

Most commercial creams and lotions are predominantly water. Their moisture is quickly absorbed into dry, wrinkled skin. As the water enters the skin, it expands the tissues, like filling a balloon with water, so that wrinkles fade away and the skin feels smoother. But this is only temporary. 

As soon as the water evaporates or is carried away by the blood stream, the dry, wrinkled skin returns.
 

Want to know how to look younger? 

As we age, connective tissue fibers are continually subjected to free-radical attack, which breaks them down. As a result, connective tissues become hardened and lose both elasticity and strength. The skin loses its ability to hold itself together and begins to sag and become wrinkled. Once young, soft and smooth the skin turns dry and leathery. 

Once a free-radical reaction is started it can cause a chain reaction that produces more free radicals, which ultimately damages thousands of molecules. The only way our body has to fight them is with antioxidants. 

When a free radical comes into contact with an antioxidant, the chain reaction is stopped. For this reason, it is good to have plenty of antioxidants in our cells and tissues to protect us. 

Virgin Coconut Oil is especially useful in fighting free radicals, as it is unrefined and hasn't been stripped of any of its natural components through the refining process. 

Conventional body care products that are made with refined vegetable oils which have all the antioxidants stripped from them are highly prone to free-radical generation both in and outside the body. 

This is also the reason why you should be careful about the type of oils you use on your skin, and in your lotions, creams and lip balms. If you use a lotion, or cream with a refined oil in it, you are in fact causing your skin to age faster. 

The lotion, though it may bring temporary improvement will actually accelerate the aging of the skin and even promote skin cancer through the free radicals that are readily formed from the refined vegetable oil. 

Our Virgin Coconut Oil is not only cosmetic grade but it is also manufactured to food-grade standards and it is not uncommon for customers to purchase more than one bottle - one for their coconut oil skin care requirements and the other for human consumption for things like weight loss, Alzheimer's and so on.
