Garnet Exfoliant is a natural exfoliating ingredient manufactured from garnet gems, a reference of minerals range.
The mineral garnet is commonly found in metamorphic and to a lesser extent, igneous rocks. Most natural garnets are compositionally zoned and contain inclusions. Its crystal lattice structure is stable at high pressures and temperatures and is thus found in green-schist facies metamorphic rocks including gneiss, hornblende schist, and mica schist.
The composition that is stable at the pressure and temperature conditions of Earth's mantle is pyrope, which is often found in peridotites and kimberlites, as well as the serpentines that form from them.
Garnet contains Aluminum (25%), Silica (35%) and Iron (30%) minerals which confer its abrasive, tonic and revitalizing properties.
