Best Answer

no because pumice is a dead sea sponge that exfoliates the skin and soap is for cleaning the skin not exfoliating Answer:Soap is saponified fat or oil that removes oil based dirt by providing both hydrophilic and oleophylic sites on a single molecule. Pumice is essentially volcanic ash. It is an abrasive in its own right but may be added to soap to physically remove heavy grime by abrasion.
