Apricot Shell Powder (Fine – 40 Mesh & Finer)
Gentle Botanical Exfoliant for Smooth, Polished Skin
Apricot Shell Powder is a natural, finely milled exfoliant derived from the inner shells of apricot kernels (Prunus armeniaca). Processed to 40 mesh or finer, this grade offers a softer, more refined exfoliation compared to coarser scrubs—making it ideal for facial applications and delicate skin formulations.
Its uniform, fine texture helps remove dead skin buildup while promoting a smoother, brighter-looking complexion without the harshness of larger particles.
