Skin Soil ™ Multiuse Additive
About This Formula
The most effective exfoliant is the one that works with the cleanser you already trust — not one that asks you to replace it.
Skin Soil was formulated around that conviction. A customizable multi-fibered botanical powder that transforms any gentle, water-based cleanser into a low-friction enzymatic exfoliating paste — adapted to your skin's current state, your preferred cleanser, and the frequency your skin actually needs rather than a fixed protocol applied regardless of what the skin is communicating.
A pinch is all it takes. Mixed in the palm with your daily cleanser, the refined botanical grains work with the papain enzyme to gently polish uneven surface texture, lift accumulated debris, and support the skin's own renewal cycle — without the disruption that acid-based exfoliants can produce in sensitive and reactive skin states.
Be kind to skin. Gentle pressure. Let the formula do the work.

The Formulation
Skin Soil is built around a synergistic blend of botanical powders and a single enzymatic active — each selected for its specific contribution to gentle, effective surface renewal.
Papain enzyme — derived from papaya — dissolves the bonds holding dead surface cells without disrupting the skin's pH or compromising barrier integrity. Rice bran powder and rice powder provide fine, uniform physical exfoliation that polishes without abrading. Rosehip seed powder contributes vitamin A precursors and essential fatty acids that support cellular renewal alongside the exfoliation. Bamboo powder adds silica-rich structural support. MSM provides sulfur-based skin-softening activity. And Gotu Kola powder supports barrier repair through the exfoliation process.

How to Use
In the palm of the hand, mix a small pinch of Skin Soil with your preferred gentle water-based cleanser. Softly glide the mixture over the skin surface using gentle pressure — let the formula work, not the friction. Rinse thoroughly.
Use 1–2 times per week. Each jar is designed to last 8 to 10 months with regular use.
Store in a cool, dry place. Do not use on broken, fragile, or actively sensitized skin. Avoid contact with eyes. For external use only.
Pairs particularly well with Gentle Matter — mix directly in the palm for a complete botanical cleansing and exfoliation treatment in a single step.
