Quimivita is proud to announce the launch of Exfowind Tagua, a new natural exfoliating ingredient derived from the seeds of the tagua palm (Phytelephas aequatorialis), known as “vegan ivory” for its versatility and hardness. This renewable resource not only provides a sustainable alternative to synthetic exfoliants but also supports the economic development of local communities in Latin America that rely on its harvesting.
Exfowind Tagua addresses demands for sustainability and circular economy while supporting initiatives that generate income and opportunities for small-scale producers in rural areas. This approach integrates social and environmental benefits, adding a unique value proposition to the product.
