Rice Husk Exfoliator is a natural exfoliant obtained from the husk of Oryza sativa (rice), an agricultural by-product upcycled from the food industry. It is processed via calcination, purification and micronization to produce a biodegradable, 100% plant-based exfoliating powder with low environmental impact.

Naturally rich in amorphous silica (SiO₂), this ingredient not only delivers gentle yet effective exfoliation, but also contributes to skin-smoothing and mattifying properties—without the need for synthetic abrasives or microplastics.

Its light, off-white color makes it a rare plant-based alternative to mineral scrubs, ideal for premium and clean-label formulations.

Rice Husk Exfoliator is available in two grades (fine and coarse), offering flexibility for use in both facial and body care products.

The Exfoliator range from Lessonia offers a vast selection of natural exfoliants, meticulously crafted from plant-based and mineral sources such as shells, fruits, seeds, herbs, spices, and loofah. These exfoliants provide various colours, textures, and degrees of abrasiveness, making them adaptable to different skincare products and applications. Whether for gentle facial scrubs or more robust body exfoliations, these ingredients enhance the natural appeal of formulations by improving skin texture, promoting radiance, and supporting cell renewal.
