Biosfera's volcanic lava and aloe vera exfoliant, a milestone in skin care

The volcanic lava and aloe vera body scrub from Biosfera is a cosmetic product formulated with ingredients obtained from native flora and the mineral wealth of Costa Rica. Its unique composition, which includes magmatic rocks from the Arenal Volcano and organic aloe vera, guarantees a gentle and skin-friendly abrasion that promotes skin regeneration and deeply hydrates the dermis.

Biosfera, naturally relaxing

The scrub is part of an extensive catalogue of cosmetics produced by Biosfera, a renowned company founded in 2007 in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, specifically on the slopes of the Arenal Volcano. Its philosophy is based on sustainable production, artisanal manufacturing, and respectful sourcing of raw materials, preserving at all times the abundant biodiversity of the country. The final result is a self-care product that is highly effective and produced in harmony with nature, ensuring exceptional biocompatibility compared to similar products.

Active components

The product combines various active ingredients obtained from natural sources designed to eliminate impurities, nourish the skin, and provide antioxidant protection. Its formulation includes:

• Volcanic lava powder: extracted from natural igneous rocks, volcanic lava is ideal as an exfoliating agent because it allows for gentle removal of skin residues, avoiding damage during the process.
• Organic Aloe Vera: with a high water content, it acts by hydrating, soothing and refreshing the different layers of the skin, contributing to its proper nutrition. It also promotes cell regeneration and skin healing and combats free radicals to prevent premature skin aging, keeping it elastic and without expression lines.
• Green tea extract: rich in polyphenols, it aids in skin repair, protects the dermis from harmful external agents and rejuvenates the complexion. It also promotes the deflation of the area and acts as a regulator of skin sebum production, proving very useful in cases of oily or combination skin.
• Lemongrass essential oil: also known as lemongrass essential oil, this compound has purifying, astringent, antibacterial and toning properties, highly appreciated in the field of cosmetics. Its skin application adjusts the secretion of fat and revitalizes the skin while reducing the appearance of pores and disinfecting the skin surface. In addition, it has a pleasant lemon scent that stimulates the senses during its application, making it widely used in spa cabins.
• Arnica extract: notorious for its anti-inflammatory power, arnica extract is a recurring ingredient in many cosmetics due to its high biocompatibility and efficacy. It has a potent soothing and analgesic effect that helps to reduce swelling in a localized way and stimulates blood flow in the area of application, so it is used to decongest subcutaneous tissues and improve skin oxygenation.

How to apply it

The Biosfera volcanic lava scrub does not require major steps to apply; simply moisten the skin with warm water, spread the product by making small circular massages and rinse with plenty of water to remove any residue that may remain on the skin. We recommend extending the massage for a minimum of two or three minutes to allow the ingredients to act properly and their benefits to be more noticeable.
