Barrel & Oak Volcanic Pumice & Charcoal Face Scrub for Men — 5 oz, Deep Exfoliating Vegan, Bourbon Cedar

Barrel & Oak Volcanic Pumice & Charcoal Face Scrub is a deep-exfoliating, vegan men’s scrub that removes dead skin, clears clogged pores, and supports healthier beard growth while leaving an outdoorsy bourbon-cedar scent.

This 5 oz scrub combines volcanic pumice granules and activated charcoal powder to mechanically exfoliate and absorb impurities, while white birch extract helps balance and purify skin. Designed for daily use on face, body, and beard, the formula is vegan and free from parabens, phthalates, and SLS. It’s tailored for men who want an effective grooming step that both refreshes skin and reduces common issues like ingrown hairs and clogged pores.

How does this scrub clear clogged pores and excess oil?

The charcoal powder acts like a magnet for surface impurities, drawing out trapped dirt and excess sebum, while volcanic pumice provides physical exfoliation to lift dead skin. Together they leave pores cleaner and skin less prone to congestion without overly stripping natural oils.

• Activated charcoal absorbs oil and dirt from pores
• Volcanic pumice sloughs away dead skin for smoother texture
• White birch extract helps refine and purify the skin surface
• Rinse-off formula removes lifted debris for a visibly cleaner look

Will this help with beard health and ingrown hairs?

Regular gentle exfoliation reduces the buildup that can trap hairs under the skin, which helps minimize ingrown hairs and irritation. The scrub clears follicles and softens the skin foundation beneath facial hair, supporting healthier beard growth and easier grooming.

• Removes dead skin that traps regrowing hairs
• Reduces follicle-clogging oils and residue
• Prepares skin for smoother shaving and beard care
• Daily use lowers dryness and tightness under facial hair

How should I use the Barrel & Oak volcanic pumice scrub?

Use on wet skin by applying a small amount and massaging in circular motions, focusing on rough or congested areas. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry; it’s gentle enough for daily use on face, body, and beard when used as directed.

• Use a dime-to-quarter-sized amount depending on area
• Massage gently—do not scrub aggressively to avoid irritation
• Rinse with warm water and follow with moisturizer or beard oil
• Suitable for daily use if skin tolerates mechanical exfoliation

What does the bourbon cedar scent smell like and how long does it last?

The fragrance blends citrus top notes with lavender, anchored by warm bourbon, cedarwood, and patchouli for a masculine, outdoorsy aroma. It lingers lightly after rinsing, providing a subtle fresh scent without being overpowering.

• Bright lemon and soft lavender top notes
• Warm bourbon and cedarwood heart for depth
• Patchouli adds an earthy finish
• Leaves a subtle, long-lasting scent on skin and beard

Who is this for: This Barrel & Oak scrub suits men seeking a practical, multi-use exfoliant that targets rough skin, clogged pores, and beard maintenance. It’s ideal for active lifestyles, those prone to ingrown hairs, or anyone who prefers a vegan, cruelty-free grooming product with a bold, natural scent. Avoid use on broken or highly irritated skin; if you have very sensitive skin, patch test first or consult a dermatologist.
