It has tiny hard particles embedded in it.
It had its heyday in the decades before swarfega, as the stuff was used to scrub off a layer of skin as a means to remove automotive grease from the skin.

I hated the stuff as a kid, and I doubt you'd want it on your face. My reply was somewhat sarcastic, along the lines of the replies listing sandpaper and a water blaster.
However, perhaps adult skin would find the stuff more tolerable. It would certainly do the job of exfoliating, although it comes from an era before that word was in the public vocabulary.

Spotted some in the supermarket recently, so it still exists.

Any guy who 'exfoliates' with solvol may still be worthy of his masculinity, coz he's gotta be a hard bast@rd.

Scroll down to the video. To skip the intro (a parody on a gospel meeting), move the tab to 3:25.
