What it is
Using our proprietary technology, we've molded the rare material "Shirasu Balloon" into a soft, squishy exfoliant! It captures dead skin cells and impurities, leaving skin feeling smooth and silky! This is a revolutionary exfoliant made with volcanic ash. It's softer than our previous product and now features an upgraded scent of eight natural essential oils! It fits snugly on curved areas like elbows and knees, making daily baths even more enjoyable! Recommended for: · Rough heels · Hard calluses · Stockings that catch on the skin · Constant discomfort on the soles of the feet · Dark spots on elbows and knees 1: The "Fine Shirasu Balloon" is made from genuine volcanic ash and shaped into a balloon, capturing dead skin cells and impurities while gently yet thoroughly removing them. The soft, squishy texture makes it painless to use on a regular basis. The soft, squishy feel is addictive! Its soft, elastic texture allows it to fit snugly around angled areas without over-scrubbing. Ideal for treating angled areas like heels, elbows, and knees! 2. The rare material "Shirasu Balloon" is used in our unique technology to create a soft, squishy exfoliant! Made from "Shirasu," a volcanic ash from the Paleolithic era. Prickly volcanic ash (Shirasu) measuring approximately 40-50 μm is baked at a high temperature of 1,000°C to create spherical Shirasu Balloons measuring approximately 70 μm. The sponge-like, porous material perfectly captures dead skin cells and impurities. 3. Smooth, silky skin. Have you ever scrubbed your skin too hard and ended up with irritation? The byebye exfoliant series exfoliates with a feeling that feels like you're not even scraping it. Perfect for treating rough, hard exfoliants. After use, your skin will be left incredibly smooth and silky. 4: The scent of 8 natural essential oils. This ethical product is made with a luxurious blend of organic essential oils and fair-trade ingredients. Approximately 8 essential oils, including orange oil, lavender oil, hollyhock oil, orange blossom oil, geranium oil, sandalwood oil, patchouli oil, and tea tree leaf oil, are luxuriously blended to create a lovely fragrance. 5: The versatile "two-layer" design allows you to use the coarse "gray" layer on hard calluses like heels, and the fine "beige" layer on softer calluses, depending on your skin type. *After use, rinse the surface of the device with water and store in a container to prevent drying. [Use] Heels, elbows, knees
