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: What is the aroma?

A: An invigorating, tree-topped scent of Fir and Cypress, with herbal notes of Ginger and Lavender.

    Holy moly

    This has seriously changed my skin. I’ve only used it a few times but incorporating it into my evening routine every few days has made my skin feel significantly smoother. My favorite Ursa Major product so far.

    Fresh renewal

    I use this 2/3 times weekly and it gives me a fresh restart when the grime of life builds up. The smell is uplifting.

    I live in the southwest where it’s hot, dusty and dry all summer. It’s particularly uplifting in the warm months but I love it all year round.

    It is a gorgeous exfoliator.
