What is it made of?

• Our Bikini Buffer is made from a unique plant fiber called viscose – perfect for deep exfoliation while remaining gentle enough for buffing and smoothing. The texture of the fabric will amplify when wet, allowing it to effectively grip dead skin!

Is it nontoxic?

• Yes! All Seraphic Skincare products have been tested and verified to be REACH and CA Prop 65 compliant.

Is it vegan-friendly?

• Yes! All Seraphic Skincare products are made of 100% vegan materials, never tested on animals, and individually registered with The Vegan Society.

Why does it turn water dark on first use?

• Our textile exfoliators are made in small batches with premium viscose fabric. Viscose is the unique fabric that makes the mitt so effective for exfoliating. During manufacture, it is dyed with a nontoxic, vegan-friendly black dye that can sometimes “bleed” the first time it gets wet, not unlike washing a brand new dark-colored clothing article. Please be assured, however, that this does not mean the product is damaged or unusable – after hand-washing the first time, any excess dye will be gone.

Why can’t I use a regular body mitt on my bikini area?

• The rougher texture of our body mitt is intended for thicker areas of skin. Our exfoliating Bikini Buffer is designed with a slightly gentler fabric and inner foam core, allowing it to gently yet effectively glide over sensitive areas. The shape and size is also ergonomically designed for better control on the bikini area.

Should I use it before or after shaving/waxing?

• Our Bikini Buffer is perfect for keeping ingrown hairs at bay and maintaining soft, smooth skin between hair removal treatments. However, shaving, waxing, and sugaring can irritate or even remove some layers of skin, causing over-exfoliation when combined. For that reason, we recommend exfoliating no sooner than a week before and after hair removal treatments (including shaving). The Bikini Buffer may be used lightly every few days to prevent ingrown hairs, but deep exfoliation is not needed on areas of the body you frequently treat for hair removal.

How do I keep it clean?

• Simply hand-wash the mitt and hang-dry to extend its lifespan. Keep in a place where it can dry between uses. Do not wash or dry in a washing machine or dryer and replace after approximately 3 months of use.

Will this help with ingrown hairs?

• Absolutely. We are intimately aware of the lacking options for natural, chemical-free bikini area exfoliators. That’s where our Bikini Buffer comes in to save the day! By keeping the topmost layer of skin gently and consistently exfoliated between hair removal treatments, new hairs will emerge more freely without becoming trapped beneath dead skin.

Can I use this even if I have sensitive skin?

• The Bikini Buffer can be customized to suit individual needs based on duration of exfoliation as well as pressure applied. You should test a patch of your skin for irritation prior to initial use to determine your level of sensitivity. We recommend people with very sensitive skin to first slowly and gently test a small area. You should never exfoliate over cuts, burns, sunburns, or infected, irritated, or otherwise compromised skin. Avoid contact with sunburned, irritated, open, infected, or otherwise compromised skin.
