Question:

I use an all-natural facial buff that exfoliates the skin. It has ginseng extract in it and roman chamomile. Those are the botanical ingredients. The rest of the ingredients are emollients, pH adjuster, stimulant, humectant, preservatives, lubricant, and a gentle abrasive. I don’t know what other herbs would work as an abrasive, besides the cornmeal, which you are already using. The gentle abrasive in the buff I use is Polypropylene.

I was wondering if anyone was aware of an herb (dried) that can be used to exfoliate the skin.  I would prefer it to have some healing properties.  The dried herb will be used in our handmade soaps and will be specifically for gardeners who need the extra cleaning properties.  We currently use cornmeal as the "abrasive" ingredient, but there must be something better.
