Health & Cosmetics
Micronised cork powders and natural extracts for cosmetics, personal care and specialty chemistry.
Cork powder is a naturally hypoallergenic, biodegradable ingredient with a suberin chemistry that formulators use as a mild exfoliant, a natural filler and a plant-based alternative to microplastic beads. We supply micronised, classified cork powder to cosmetics and personal-care manufacturers worldwide.
Regulatory pressure on microplastics in cosmetics has accelerated the shift toward natural, biodegradable actives. Cork powder is one of the few materials that answers both the environmental brief and the tactile brief — a mild, evenly graded particle that formulates cleanly into scrubs, masks and rinse-off products without leaving persistent residues in the water system.
Our cosmetics-grade powder is classified to tight granulometry cuts and shipped with full origin and batch documentation, ready to slot into a regulated personal-care supply chain.
