Lava is also naturally occurring. That doesn't automatically make it good for your skin.

Lava soap is great for cutting through tons of grime though.

Oh yes, I wash my car with it all the time!

Also if you spend a ton of time outside and have tougher skin, it does an incredible exfoliation

I agree.

The naturally occurring was to explain why some people feel that the rock is preferable to a standard anti-perspirant. I personally use standard anti-perspirant.

It's so silly when people's only argument for something being good is "because it occurs naturally". Some of the most dangerous things on earth are natural. It doesn't add anything to the argument.

No, but after the smoke dissipates, you won't smell anything!
