Quimivita's Exfowind Tagua, upcycled from the seeds of tagua palm (Phytelephas aequatorialis), offers a sustainable and renewable natural alternative to synthetic exfoliants. Its sourcing also supports the economic development of rural communities in Latin America while protecting biodiversity.

Exfowind Tagua Features and Applications  

According to the company, tagua palm is often referred to as vegan ivory, lending various features to the Exfowind Tagua ingredient, including:

  • durability for exfoliation, promoting skin renewal;
  • versatility of particle sizes, adaptable to formulas ranging from facial scrubs to body and hair care products; and
  • broad compatibility and adaptability across product categories.

Supporting Sustainability and Social Progress

In addition, as noted, the production of Exfowind Tagua aligns with principles of sustainability and the circular economy. By using this natural resource, Quimivita aims to reduce the industry's reliance on non-renewable materials while promoting initiatives that generate income for small-scale producers. 

The ingredient is said to empower cosmetic formulators to deliver products that meet consumer demand for eco-friendly, skin-friendly solutions while supporting sustainable livelihoods in Latin America.
