[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]The Prune Kernel Powder is obtained by grinding the shells of Ente plum stones, a variety of Prunus Domestica, which are cultivated in south west France to produce Pruneaux d’Agen (Agen prunes).

It is produced through micronisation, then sterilised by autoclave and vacuum packed for storage.

A natural and effective exfoliant

Prune kernel powder is classified according to three grain sizes:

  • <300µm
  • 300 to 500µm
  • 500 to 800µm.

Powder of a smaller grain size is more suitable for use in sensitive areas such as the face. Larger grains are reserved for use on the body, feet and hands for deep skin cleaning.
