For those new to the term, exfoliation simply means the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin using a chemical or a granular substance. In the case with our soaps, we use no chemicals for exfoliation, just gritty substances, such as sea salt, oatmeal, seeds, tea leaves, etc. Depending on the soap and its purpose, the exfoliants will differ in both type and coarseness, from fine and powdery to rough and grainy. All of the soaps here have that.
