WHO is WHO in Microbeads

Company name: Floratech    

Florabeads® & Ecobeads® - The Natural Solution for Exfoliation and the Environment

Concern over environmental harm from microplastic scrubbing beads has provoked restrictions to their use. There is a growing global expectation that plastic microbeads will be eliminated from all formulations.

Scrubbing beads should not damage the environment, yet still deliver the same functionality, while protecting skin health and brand perception. Floratech has a wide variety of biodegradable scrubbing beads that comply with global legislation, provide effective yet gentle exfoliation without irritation, and remain stable in formulations. Florabeads and Ecobeads are gentle enough for daily use yet clinically shown to be as effective as polyethylene microbeads. Florabeads and Ecobeads are available in a wide range of colors.

Floratech has grown naturally into a modern botanical derivative research and manufacturing center providing innovative botanical ingredients including: oil-free esters, jojoba derivatives, macadamia oil and derivatives, stabilized high-oleic sunflower seed oil and specialty particles to formulators of stable, functional and quality cosmetic and personal care products worldwide.

Floratech isn’t going green – we were born green.
