Morphology

exfoliator = exfoliate (transparent) = exfoliate + or

This is a standard instrument or agent noun built from the verb 'exfoliate', meaning something that exfoliates the skin.

Etymology

Exfoliator comes from the Latin parts ex- meaning 'out' and folium meaning 'leaf', so imagine tiny 'leaves' or layers coming away from the skin. That's why an exfoliator is a product or tool used to remove dead skin cells from the surface.
