Jojoba Beads / Jojoba Exfolliants Overview

Return to Jojoba Products page

Jojoba Beads, formerly called BioBeads, are made from 100% Pure Natural Jojoba wax esters and are ideal for shower gels, soaps and body scrubs. Sometimes called jojoba spheres, jojoba prills, scrub beads, these free-flowing, spherical jojoba beads are superior to nut shell, pumice and polyethylene exfoliants because they do not leave micro-lacerations on the skin. These microscopic cuts can result in premature wrinkles and provide an entrance for bacteria into the skin's surface. Also, PNJ Jojoba Beads do not irritate or burn the skin the way AHA/BHA or other acid products can.

There are over 15 colors in addition to available color matching. PNJ Jojoba Beads can be used in formulations from 1% to 15% depending on the degree of exfoliation and visual impact desired. Testing of the PNJ Jojoba Beads in the final product is recommended.
