Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Epoch® Polishing Bar on my face?
This bar is designed for your body, where skin is tougher. For facial cleansing, it might be too intense unless you have very oily skin—and even then, use it sparingly. Try Nu Skin’s Nutricentials® Exfoliant Scrub Extra Gentle for your face instead.
How is Epoch® Polishing Bar different from a regular soap bar?
Unlike soap, which can strip your skin dry, this bar is soap-free and uses Sisku’pas Bark to exfoliate gently while Glacial Marine Mud cleanses and hydrates. It’s a cleanser and skin-polisher in one, leaving you smooth, not tight.
What does “polishing” mean for my skin?
Polishing is a fancy way of saying gentle exfoliation. It sloughs off dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin underneath—think of it like buffing a gemstone to make it shine.
Is this bar suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, it’s dermatologist-tested and soap-free, making it gentle enough for most sensitive skin types. The natural exfoliants are mild, but if you’re prone to irritation, test it on a small patch first.
How does Epoch® Polishing Bar support sustainability?
From its 100% recycled paper carton to renewable ingredients like Sisku’pas Bark and Glacial Marine Mud, this bar is planet-friendly. Plus, every purchase supports the Malawi Seeds of Hope project. Recycle the carton locally to keep the good vibes going!
How often should I use it?
It depends on your skin. For most, 2-3 times a week keeps skin smooth without overdoing it. If your skin feels rough (hello, NZ winters!), you can use it daily on areas like elbows or knees.
Does it have a strong scent?
The fragrance is light and fresh, with a subtle, earthy note from the natural ingredients. It’s not overpowering, so it won’t linger or clash with your favorite perfume.
