About

Mineral-rich Brazil nut seed powder that conditions and nourishes skin

Bertholletia Excelsa Seed Powder is derived from ground Brazil nut (Lecythidaceae) seeds. It serves as a natural mechanical exfoliant and skin-conditioning agent, delivering selenium, zinc, and essential fatty acids to the skin surface. The powder's particle profile makes it suitable for mild exfoliation without the environmental concerns of synthetic microbeads. No GHS hazards or EU restrictions are assigned.

Skin benefits

  • Gentle mechanical exfoliation
  • Rich in selenium and minerals
  • Biodegradable alternative to microbeads
  • Skin conditioning

Known concerns

  • Potential allergen for individuals with tree nut allergies
  • Physical exfoliants may cause micro-tears if particles are too coarse
