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

A gentle physical exfoliant made from dried, powdered wheat bread. Provides mild abrasive action along with ferulic acid and B-vitamins from the grain, helping to condition and soften skin.

Wheat Bread Powder is produced by drying and finely grinding wheat bread. It functions as a mild physical exfoliant with particles small enough to avoid micro-tears. Contains ferulic acid (a potent antioxidant), small amounts of B-vitamins, and amino acids from wheat protein. Suitable for sensitive skin formulations when particle size is controlled. Gluten content means it should be avoided by individuals with celiac disease or extreme gluten sensitivity applied to broken skin.
