Bio-based tagua nut (INCI: Phytelephas aequatorialis Seed Powder) processed as a cosmetic-grade exfoliant for body care and other rinse-off and leave-on formulations. This sustainable, biodegradable seed powder is offered as a direct replacement for plastic microbeads and other non‑biodegradable scrubbing materials.
Key benefits
- Natural, plant‑derived exfoliant with a neutral, mildly milky aroma and consistent white color (minimal shell/dust residues).
- Rounded, smooth granules engineered to avoid sharp edges and reduce risk of micro‑injury while providing reliable mechanical exfoliation.
- Low fine‑dust content for clean handling and predictable incorporation into creams, scrubs, soaps and similar formulations.
- Precision sieving available — configurable mesh ranges to match desired exfoliation intensity and formulation requirements.
- Biodegradable and compostable alternative that supports microplastic‑free product claims.
Typical applications
- Body scrubs and exfoliating creams
- Exfoliating soap bars and solid cleansers
- Other cosmetic and personal care products requiring mechanical exfoliation
Supply and quality
