Our Tagua nut Powder is a natural, biodegradable and sustainable raw material that is an excellent choice to use as an ingredient for body care and cosmetic purposes.
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.
Our Tagua nut powder contains natural fatty acids that is nourishing for skin. It is also less abrasive compared to other natural exfoliates and minerals since it is composed of endosperm that matures and hardens over time. When grinded into fine powder, our product provides gentle abrasive capability.
Our Tagua nut powder is a natural plant polysaccharide and therefore is completely biodegradable. In comparison to synthetic plastic microbeads, it is difficult to be filtered from our drainage which will cause detrimental effects to our ocean and marine life.
