Florabeads® RBW are biodegradable scrubbing beads developed for gentle yet effective mechanical exfoliation. Sourced from Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax, these uniform, spherical beads offer a smooth skin-feel and avoid the abrasiveness associated with irregularly shaped natural exfoliants.

Part of the Cargill Beauty botanical bead portfolio, Florabeads® RBW are ideal for formulators seeking a natural alternative to microplastics or harsher physical exfoliants like fruit pits or shells.
