Tagua Exfoliator
Phytelephas Aequatorialis Seed Powder
Manufacturer's description
Tagua Exfoliator - Exfoliating Particle is a fine, pure-white powder sourced from upcycled tagua seeds (vegetable ivory) grown in Ecuador’s Manabí region, ethically harvested after button and ornament production. Used for centuries in jewelry as an alternative to ivory, the Tagua nut is revered because its preciousness encourages the Ecuadorian people to preserve their “Taguales” forests and thus avoid deforestation. 100% natural, biodegradable, GMO-free, and microplastic-free, this exfoliant provides moderate mechanical exfoliation due to its calibrated particle size of 500 µm, making it ideal for body scrub applications. Its ivory-like cream tone ensures flawless compatibility with all formulations. By valorizing tagua waste from local artisans, this upcycled ingredient supports clean beauty, a circular economy, and fair trade practices (Praan & Quimivita certifications), while contributing to socio-economic development and forest conservation.
