At BUG FOR MEN, we’re all about developing products that give men the tools for strong, healthy skin, no shortcuts, no nonsense. One of our favourite ingredients for delivering real results is volcanic sand. This natural powerhouse is prized for its incredible exfoliating properties, making it ideal for scrubs like our new Icelandic Black Sand Face & Body Scrub designed to slough off dead skin cells and reveal smoother, fresher skin beneath. Unlike many exfoliants that dissolve away, volcanic sand holds its texture, giving you a reliable and consistent scrub every time.

But it’s not just about exfoliation. Volcanic ash, closely related and often used alongside volcanic sand, offers serious skin benefits thanks to its natural antibacterial, anti-yeast, and antiviral properties. It can help reduce issues like acne and soothe symptoms of conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Many high-end spas trust volcanic ash in treatments because of its ability to cleanse, detoxify, and even reduce the appearance of cellulite.

We believe men deserve skincare that’s both effective and honest. That’s why we’re constantly exploring natural ingredients like volcanic sand, so you can build a routine that’s simple, strong, and made to keep your skin healthy.

So why should you use BUG FOR MEN Icelandic Black Sand Face & Body Scrub? 

Volcanic Sand | Nature’s rugged exfoliator.

Volcanic sand is rich in natural minerals and delivers a gritty, effective exfoliation that helps remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. It’s tough enough to handle oil and dirt, yet fine enough to avoid harsh scratching, making it perfect for men who want smooth, refreshed skin without fuss.

Kaolin Clay | Deep-cleansing without stripping.

Kaolin is a gentle, natural clay that draws out impurities and excess oil from the skin without over-drying. It helps keep skin clear, mattified, and balanced, ideal for men prone to oily or combination skin, or anyone wanting that fresh, clean feeling after a scrub.

Lactic Acid (AHA) | Smooths and brightens.

Lactic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid that helps loosen dead skin cells for easier removal. It provides a chemical exfoliation that complements the physical scrub, promoting brighter, smoother, and more even-looking skin. A great addition for tackling dullness or rough patches.

Nordic Berry Extracts (Cloudberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, Strawberry) | Antioxidant-rich Nordic power.

These organic berry extracts are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that help soothe, nourish, and protect the skin. They fight environmental stressors and support healthy-looking skin, bringing a bit of Nordic wildness (and care) into every wash.

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil | Lightweight moisture and skin protection.

Sunflower seed oil is a non-greasy, easily absorbed oil that delivers hydration while reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier. It keeps the skin feeling soft and comfortable after exfoliation, preventing that tight or dry feeling some scrubs can leave behind.

If you've made it this far, it might be time for you to try our new BUG FOR MEN face scrub and feel the results for yourself. >>  Icelandic Black Sand Face & Body Scrub
