TL;DR. This ingredient functions primarily as a physical exfoliant in scrubs, cleansers, and masks. It adds mild abrasive polishing, texture, and some opacity to rinse-off formulas.
What does PRUNUS ARMENIACA SEED POWDER\ do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient functions primarily as a physical exfoliant in scrubs, cleansers, and masks. It adds mild abrasive polishing, texture, and some opacity to rinse-off formulas.
Is PRUNUS ARMENIACA SEED POWDER\ clean?

Is PRUNUS ARMENIACA SEED POWDER\ sustainable?
It is renewable, biodegradable, and often made from a it stream associated with fruit processing. Its main sustainability considerations are agricultural inputs, water use, transport, and the energy used for drying and milling.
Is PRUNUS ARMENIACA SEED POWDER\ COSMOS-approved?
It is permitted under COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic when produced through allowed physical processing and compliant sourcing, with organic status dependent on certified agricultural feedstock. It fits Green Chemistry principles well because it uses a renewable feedstock, requires simple milling, and does not rely on persistent synthetic polymers.
