Jojoba bead (brown)

INCI Name

Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil

Description

Jojoba beads are gentle, biodegradable exfoliating particles derived from 100% pure hydrogenated jojoba oil. They are smooth, spherical, and non-abrasive, making them ideal for exfoliation without causing microtears in the skin. Available in various colors, they add both function and visual appeal to cosmetic formulations. Because they are plant-based and eco-friendly, they serve as a sustainable alternative to plastic microbeads.
