Ways to Use Pumice In your Bath And Body Recipes

Have you found some pumice stone as you walk along the beach? I think most of us know if you rub it on your skin and act like an exfoliator, it is especially good for your heels, but did you know you can crush it and use it in your soaps?

Pumice is a light-colored, extremely porous igneous rock that forms during explosive volcanic eruptions. How can you spot pumice stone on the beach? Pumice is a fine-grained volcanic rock. It is very light grey to medium grey in color. It contains a lot of empty gas bubbles giving it a swiss cheese look.

Whilst pumice is well known for using on our bodies, did you know you can use pumice stone around the home too?

Add pumice stone chips to your plants for water absorption. Use a pumice stone as a natural essential oil diffuser by adding a few drops onto the pumice, it will soak into the stone much like volcanic beads are used in making diffuser jewelry. Use pumice to distress your fabric for rustic crafts, you can even use it as a scrubbing brush in the kitchen or even a pumice stone toilet brush.

Here are our top recipes using Pumice stones and pumice powder. If you want to crush up your own Pumice finds, check out this kid’s video on how to make stone powder.

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
