Jojoba beads
This natural, non-abrasive exfoliant is often used in exfoliating products designed specifically for sensitive skin, but can be used with all skin types. At a microscopic level, jojoba beads are polished, round and smooth. This means they will never scratch the skin and will only gently buff away dead skin cells. Jojoba beads are so gentle you can even exfoliate lips or other sensitive parts of your face with them (just avoid your eye area).
Bonus points: jojoba beads are environmentally friendly, unlike microbeads!

Pumice crystals
While jojoba beads can be used on all skin types, some skin is more resistive and needs a stronger exfoliator. Another natural exfoliant, pumice crystals provide a manual microdermabrasion that buffs away dullness, fine lines and problem pores. This exfoliating ingredient is ideal for those who do not have sensitive skin and want stronger physical exfoliation.
Herbology firsts works by first physically sloughing off the upper crust of dead, dulling skin cells, and then its unique water-soluble granules then melt into the skin and release their natural chemical exfoliators to dissolve any leftover dead skin.
