Corindon Exfoliant is a natural exfoliating ingredient manufactured from corundum, a crystalline of aluminum oxide, a reference of minerals range.
Corundum is the crystalline form of aluminum oxide. It is naturally clear and the transparent specimens are used as gems (ruby, sapphire). Its coarse and un-even surface allows accurate and efficient microdermabrasion.
Corundum occurs as a mineral in mica schist, gneiss, and some marbles in metamorphic terranes. It also occurs in low-silica igneous syenite and nepheline syenite intrusives. Other occurrences are as masses adjacent to ultramafic intrusives, associated with lamprophyre dikes and as large crystals in pegmatites. It commonly occurs as a detrital mineral in streams and beach sands because of its hardness and resistance to weathering.
It doesn’t cause allergen reactions and is not absorbed by the skin.
