Praan Naturals introduces tagua seed ingredient

Praan Naturals has launched Tagua Seed Powder (INCI: Phytelephas Aequatorialis (Tagua) Seed Powder), said to be an eco-friendly exfoliant suitable for cosmetic and wellness applications.

Known also as vegetable ivory, tagua seeds are prized as a botanical alternative to ivory due to their material strength and impressive ivory-like texture.

When ground into a fine powder, tagua seeds make a pure white, plant-based exfoliant that is perfectly suited for the finest cleansers and exfoliating products.

Sourced from Ecuador, Praan Naturals Tagua Seed Powder is an environmentally responsible and natural alternative to synthetic exfoliants and whitening agents.

It is produced using only 100% pure, ethically harvested tagua seeds. The powder contains no added fillers or other materials.

“Praan Naturals Tagua Seed Powder is a derivative (secondary) product made from tagua seed pieces that remain after Ecuadorian community artisans produce buttons and ornamental objects,” said chief executive Anáil Moon DevÄ«.

“Grinding these remaining pieces into tagua seed powder ensures that none of the beneficial seed material goes to waste,” she added.
