Foamglas is used as isolation, but since its properties and material are completely harmless it can be used perfectly for grooming our skin. Sand, recycled glass and other vastly accessible materials are merged to molten glass. The glass is extruded trough a pipe and is grounded to a fine powder and then mixed with coal. The mixture is placed in container which goes through a cell culture stove to create a glass block with millions of hermetically proof glass cells. Next, the material is passed trough a cooling stove to carefully control the cooling process. The foam glass is then cut to desired format, tested and packaged.
