Our Tagua Nut powder is naturally white in color which provides an excellent appeal as a natural ingredient to beauty and skincare formulation. The porous characteristic of our ingredient allows it to be dyed with natural colorants to match your required needs for your product.

Our Tagua nut powder contains many microscopic pores which allow it to have excellent moisture absorption and oil control capabilities in comparison to other natural abrasives and minerals.
