Cosmetic exfoliants

Zymachem distributes 121 specialty exfoliants in Canada, almost all made in Brittany by Lessonia: kernel and shell powders (apricot, almond, olive, argan, coconut), fruit seeds (cranberry, raspberry, pomegranate), bamboo, rice, luffa, cellulose, and minerals such as quartz, rhyolite and corundum.

Most come in several particle sizes, from fine grains for facial care to coarser ones for body scrubs. They are natural alternatives to plastic microbeads, banned from toiletries sold in Canada since 2018 (Microbeads in Toiletries Regulations).
