MACADAMIA TERNIFOLIA SEEDCAKE

84

Safety score · 0–100

Good

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

The cake left after pressing macadamia oil — used as a soft, biodegradable physical exfoliant. Gentler on skin than synthetic microbeads (and on the planet). Tree-nut allergy is the one caveat.
