Micronized argan shell is a natural and sustainable ingredient that has been used in cosmetics for a long time. It is extracted from the shell of the argan tree fruit, after the argan oil has been extracted. Produced by several women's cooperatives in the Agadir region of Morocco, the fruit shell is micronized and used as a natural exfoliant, thus avoiding micronized plastics.

Exfoliant made with a natural ingredient.

Using natural ingredients such as micronized argan shell offers several benefits compared to synthetic exfoliants containing micronized plastics. First, natural exfoliants are biodegradable and do not pollute the environment like synthetic exfoliants.

Micronized argan shell has a particle size between 200-500 microns, a perfect size for facial exfoliation. It is less aggressive on the skin and less prone to causing irritation or damage. Due to its characteristics, it can be used in a wide range of cosmetic products; in this case, we have used it with blue gardenia to formulate a very special exfoliating mask that helps remove dead skin cells and impurities, leaving the skin smoother and brighter. It can also help stimulate cell renewal and improve skin texture, reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and fine wrinkles. By gently exfoliating the skin, it helps improve the absorption of other skincare products, such as serums and moisturizing creams.
