Olive Beads

Olive Beads are obtained through the upcycling of Mediterranean olive pits, a by-product of olive oil production. They are 100% natural, fully biodegradable exfoliating granules designed as a sustainable alternative to synthetic scrubs. The beads deliver a dual action: controlled mechanical exfoliation combined with the release of lignans. These phenolic compounds provide antioxidant activity and contribute to anti-aging protection. Particle size is precisely calibrated to support use in facial, body, and scalp formulations, ensuring effective exfoliation with broad formulation compatibility.
