2 oz jar of 120 grit, white, high quality crystals
Corundum Aluminum Oxide Crystals, a luminum oxide is mined from corundum, which is the second-hardest natural mineral, exceeded only by diamonds. Since 1986 aluminum oxide crystals have been used successfully for the microdermabrasion mechanical exfoliation of skin which is literally a superficial sanding of the skin, resulting in exfoliation of thickened epidermis and results in a smoother more even appearing skin texture and tone.
The Crystals come in many different grits and are used by doctors and labs through out the world. They come in many different sizes or known at grit size being; 90,100,120,150 ,180 and 220 which is specified for each microdermabrasion systems. The most common crystal sizes used for dermabrasion in a doctor office is the 100 and 120 grit. The 120 grit is a smaller size than the 100. The higher the number the smaller the grit! And the irregular shape and hardness of aluminum oxide crystals makes the material extremely efficient and effective for numerous skin defects
Aluminum oxideis non-carcinogenic. It is nontoxic for ingestion, and it induces no adverse skin reactions.
