Pumice is a light, porous volcanic rock that is formed during explosive eruptions and resembles a sponge because it consists of a network of gas bubbles frozen amidst fragile volcanic glass and minerals. Pumice is an excellent exfoliating medium to remove dead and rough skin and leaves the skin silky smooth. Pumice is used chiefly as an abrasive and is included in many scouring preparations.
Ground pumice is also used in finishing furniture. It is also found in mechanic’s soaps as well as various cleaning preparations. We offer two grades: Fine and Extra-fine. Fine works great for foot scrubs and similar applications. Extra-fine works great for application to sensitive skin and for making soap. All of our pumices comply with Calif. Prop. 65. Mesh size: 50-120 (grade 1/2).
PACKAGING: Purchasing 10 lbs., 25 lbs. or larger
quantities of a powder product (clay, pumice or any product listed in our
Salts, Sugars & Powders category) doesn’t mean you’ll receive one package
containing all of the pounds purchased. We
will prepare individual plastic bags whose weights will add up to the total
number of purchased pounds. For example,
do not expect 25 lbs. of a powder product to be packed in one 25 lb. bag. There could be the rare occasion where we
could receive from the manufacturer a 50 lb. factory-sealed bag and we’ll turn
around and ship the same bag to a customer who ordered 50 lbs. of a powder
product.

The Pumice Powder, extra fine, is exactly that - extra fine! Just like sand that's been run through a coffee grinder. It's light and smooth, but gritty enough to get the job done. Perfect for gently exfoliating the skin without tearing it to pieces. Makes a perfect scrub to remove all the gunk I get on my hands while gardening.

Works great in face scrubs! Exfoliates without irritating skin, and the product is very light and airy. Haven't tried in more applications, but I am sure it is a very flexible product.

I've used this pumice powder for making several foot scrubs. It provides a great gentle scrub that helps to soften skin without being rough like a direct pumice stone.

I make a product that rivals popular commercial mechanic's hand cleaner with this and the fine powder - it's excellent!

This is great for the work soap I make for my husband! He loves the extra scrub! I'm also about to try it in a smaller dose for an all-over exfoliating soap. A little bit goes a long way!!
Thanks for browsing thru this section which contains answers to many questions that are often asked of us. Here we explain where to locate CofA and SDS for a product, how we dispense and package our products, how products should be stored, basic terminology and the wait time for bulk products to ship from our warehouse. FYI: We're closed on Fridays.
Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). We publish on our website those documents for most of our products, some products don't provide either because the product doesn't require it. In this same section where you're at now, look to the tab to the left titled Documents, click on it and that's where you'll find either document for the product you seek. If you do not find the document you require, please email us at customerservice@camdengrey.com so we can research further.
BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer. Should a vendor inform us the ordered product will take longer than what’s mentioned on our website we’ll email the customer with the latest information.
TERMINOLOGY:
EO = essential oil
FO = fragrance oil
HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...
BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: in 1/32 oz. to 1/4 oz...amber glass vials with orifice reducers. ½ oz. to 2 oz...in amber glass bottles with white caps and Eurodroppers...3 to 4 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps and without orifice reducers...7 oz. in aluminum bottles...15 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps...10 & 25 lbs. in HDPE plastic containers with wide mouths although, occasionally, 25 lbs. may be dispensed in factory-issued metal containers with pouring spouts.
28 lbs. of carrier oils and other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic gallon containers with handles, each holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
30+ lbs. of carrier oils, other liquids, soft butters, Castile gel and other products are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles & pouring spouts in the lid; those products may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. After Covid, we reserve the right to use any packaging/dispensing container available to us and not mentioned above because it continues to be difficult many times to restock the same packaging container or material used in the past.
NOTE: An EO may safely remain inside an aluminum container for up to 3 months, but if storing longer than 3 months the oil should be transferred to amber glass. Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done. ALL PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED BY WEIGHT, THUS, SOME CONTAINERS MAY BE FILLED HIGHER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND VISCOSITY OF EACH PRODUCT.
Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets. Refrigerating butters could adversely affect the consistency of the butter, please join our Forum if you need to learn how to handle, work with and store products.
