Strawberry Exfoliant is a natural exfoliating ingredient manufactured from strawberry seeds, a reference of the seeds range.
Fragaria vesca, commonly called wild strawberry, woodland strawberry, Alpine strawberry, Carpathian strawberry, European strawberry, or fraisier des bois, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the rose family that grows naturally throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere, and that produces edible fruits.
Five to eleven soft, hairy white flowers are borne on a green, soft-hairy 3–15 centimeters (1.2–5.9 in) stalk that usually lifts them above the leaves. The light-green leaves are trifoliate (in threes) with toothed margins. The plant spreads mostly by means of runners (stolons), but the seeds are viable and establish new populations.
Known for its anti-aging properties, the oil contained in strawberry seeds is rich in oxidative and tocopherol. It is also a precious source of essential fatty acids (linoleic and oleic).
Thanks to its quite spherical shape, this exfoliant is an ideal ingredient for mature, dry and damaged skin.
