What is PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS SHELL POWDER used for?

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Shell Powder is a standout ingredient in cosmetics, praised for its exfoliating and skin-refreshing properties. It effectively removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and promotes a smoother, brighter complexion. Gentle yet highly effective, it is especially beneficial for rough areas such as elbows and knees. Notably, this natural scrub does not strip the skin of its moisture. When included in scalp scrubs and hair cleansers, it helps eliminate product buildup and excess oil, leaving the scalp healthy and the hair stronger.

Origin

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Shell Powder is sourced from the hard outer shells of almonds. The shells are first washed and dried to remove dust and impurities. Then mechanically ground into either a fine or coarse powder, depending on the intended use. This eco-friendly exfoliant is further sieved and undergoes quality control to ensure a uniform texture and high purity.
