Why It’s Special

Revives radiance

Dual-action exfoliation power and clarifying ingredients give skin a brightening boost to promote a refreshed, vibrant complexion.

Dramatically smoothes

Formulated with natural exfoliators like Volcanic Ash & Wintergreen for a strong, invigorating start and a soft, ultra-smooth finish.

Refines look of pores

Natural chemical exfoliators like salicylic acid found in Willow Bark work deep below the surface to cleanse and tighten the appearance of pores.

Balances things back out

Say so long to shine. This polish keeps excess oil in check, using actives like Oceanic Clay and Birch Sap to balance and hydrate skin.

Refreshingly Different

Nothing to hide here. Just pure, powerful formulas with naturally awesome ingredients that help you achieve your healthiest, happiest skin.

Q: Is this safe for sensitive skin?
A: Green Slate Mineral Polish is a powerful exfoliating treatment that is designed to smooth skin’s appearance for your other skincare and makeup. That said, 88% of people who tried Green Slate in a consumer test agreed that their skin didn’t feel stripped after use, and 95% agreed their skin felt intact.


Ultimately, you know your skin best. If you’re concerned about how your skin will tolerate Green Slate, we recommend trying it out on your neck or arm before using it on your face and limiting use to once a week. If you experience irritation or redness from any exfoliant, we recommend you discontinue use until that has subsided.


Q:  What skin type is this suitable for?
A: Green Slate Mineral Polish is appropriate for all skin types, especially congested or oily skin. 


Q: Does this product remove makeup?
A: This formula is optimized for exfoliation. We recommend one of our other cleansers (Fantastic Face Wash, Making Moves Milky Cleanser, or our Essential Face Wipes) if your main concern is removing makeup.


Q: Will Green Slate Mineral Polish cause micro-tears?
A: There’s currently no reliable way to evaluate whether a product causes micro-tears on the skin, but it’s true that any exfoliator (physical or chemical) can irritate the skin when used too frequently. We recommend using Green Slate Mineral Polish 1-2 times a week at first and polishing lightly to start. We don’t recommend using the product more than three times a week.


Q: Is this product pregnancy safe?
A: Green Slate Mineral Polish contains a small amount of natural salicylates from the Wintergreen and Willow Bark. Some doctors recommend against those during pregnancy. This is a wash-off product, so risk is lower, but we always recommend checking with your doctor before incorporating a new product.


Q: How do I recycle this product?
A: When you run out, just give the glass jar a rinse and recycle it at home. The lid is not widely recyclable at this time.


Q: What is the aroma?
A: An invigorating, tree-topped scent of Fir and Cypress, with herbal notes of Ginger and Lavender.

    Bravo Ursa Major for formulating an exfoliant whose results feel like products 3x's the price. My skin feels fresh and amazingly soft and smooth. The texture and scent makes me feel like I'm having spa day every time I use it.

    I am so glad Ursa Major has a mineral scrub. I trust the products and the Ursa Major line - and am thrilled that you have a gentle exfoliate that I can use a couple times a week.

    A total surprise in a jar!

    I was afraid of exfoliating with anything because of my dry, sensitive, easily irritated skin, but I read someone’s review of this which mentioned it had fixed their rosacea. I thought that was a pretty big claim to make but although I don’t have rosacea personally, seeing friends a family who do struggle with it I know they relate to my overly sensitive skin. I tried it and have now been using every other day which I never thought was possible. A little goes a long way but my skin has never been better! Follow with mountain glow in the morning or alpine cream at nite. The best!
