Elevated foot care

Tinderbox Ginger and Pumice Foot Scrub foot provides elevated foot-care with exemplary exfoliation and brings stimulating blood supply to the feet; the distal body parts that can often lack healthy circulation. Massaging the feet thoroughly with this product in a bath, footbath, or even the shower brings fresh energy and vitality to our often-neglected feet, which enhances overall foot health and functionality. 

Exfoliating the feet helps remove dead skin cells, improving skin texture to reveal smoother softer skin. Removing dead skin cells, promotes cell-turnover and skin renewal . Exfoliating also helps smooth rough patches, breaking down dead skin build-up before calluses can form which makes our feet feel more comfortable. This revitalising formula really gets in there at a granular level to provide superior hygiene, helping to remove bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that can cause foot infections. This kind of effective exfoliation prepares our feet for other treatments like moisturising, pedicures or reflexology. The foot will be more receptive and respond most positively to reflexology massage after using Tinderbox Foot Scrub.

A triple ginger whammy

Of course the star of this product is ginger that is expressed in three different types of extract, providing triple stimulating ginger action. It contains simple ground ginger root, ginger essential oil and ginger oleoresin. Oleoresin is the natural substance obtained from the ginger roots through a process of extraction, distillation and concentration. Ginger oleoresin obtained through this process contains the concentrated essence of ginger including the active compounds gingerols and shogaols. The scrub also includes ginger's aromatic essential oil and other bioactive compounds.

Mineral rich pumice

Another key ingredient of this product is pumice, which is a soft and porous type of rock that is formed when volcanic lava is quickly cooled and solidified, resulting in a sponge-like texture. Pumice possesses a unique mineral-rich composition because it is formed from volcanic activity. It is ground down to fine particles to bring the gentle abrasive and exfoliating action that we seek. This natural, non-invasive exfoliant is in itself a gentle and effective antifungal and antibacterial skincare treatment promoting tissue repair and regeneration. Pumice contains antioxidants and surprisingly has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing redness and swelling in the skin. In this product pumice is combined with exfoliating sea salt and hibiscus flowers, which are valued for their antioxidant and moisturising properties.

A both grounding and uplifting aroma

Foot Scrub carries the characteristic pungent and earthy aroma of ginger, but is combined with litsea cubeba oil, donating a fresh, lemony, citrus-like aroma but with a slightly spicy and fruity undertone. Overall, using the foot scrub is both grounding and uplifting, stabilising our emotions while enhancing our mood. 

Litsea cubeba, also known as May Chang oil, is derived from the fruit of the Litsea cubeba plant, which is native to East Asia and is known for several therapeutic properties, including its strong antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. It also helps reduce inflammation and soothe skin irritation. 

How blessed we will be, to revel in this superlative foot treatment that brings dynamism and a tingling fresh cleanliness to our feet; and consequently the  body because the foot is the microcosm of the entire body! We feel rejuvenated all over using Ginger & Pumice Foot Scrub

Rub a small amount of the scrub into all parts of the feet and also up the calves. As an added bonus, it is also good to use as a hand scrub after a day in the garden or working with machinery.
