More Than A Microplastics Alternative
Olive pit granules provide a thorough exfoliation without causing undue skin irritation. The exfoliant is gentle yet can be effective in a number of ways and is known for:

• Natural Cell Renewal: By removing old skin cells, exfoliants promote natural cell turnover, aiding in skin rejuvenation and resilience.
• Improved Skin Texture: Regular use helps to smooth and refine skin texture, resulting in a softer, more even-toned appearance.
• Enhanced Absorption: Exfoliating can improve the skin's ability to absorb moisturizers and other skincare products, maximizing their benefits.

Unlike harsher natural abrasive alternatives, olive pit powder minimizes the risk of skin irritation and is hypoallergenic.
