Methods
In the tropical rainforest of Ecuador, a native wild palm tree produces a magic seed known as Tagua. Revered for its consistency, appearance, and cream-white shade, the stone nut is often referred to as "vegetable ivory." Through a meticulous process of milling into a white powder, YuraQ emerges as the only 100% natural, plant-based exfoliant with unparalleled purity.
Nestled within the lush Ecuadorian rainforest, YuraQ M emerges from the micronization of the Tagua Seed—a marvel of nature found within the native wild palm trees. Celebrated for its consistent texture, aesthetic appeal, and pristine cream-white hue, this stone nut is renowned as "vegetable ivory." Through a meticulous micronization process, the Tagua Seed transforms into YuraQ M, a finely powdered exfoliant that stands as the epitome of purity and botanical excellence.
Sustainability
With a heritage rooted in sustainability, Tagua has long replaced plastic in the luxury garment industry, serving as a natural alternative to synthetic buttons. Now, YuraQ extends this eco-conscious legacy into the cosmetics realm, offering a natural and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic exfoliants and plastic microbeads.
YuraQ not only helps conserve endangered rainforest land but also supports the local economy by providing jobs to dozens of indigenous groups, fostering economic resilience and empowerment within Ecuador's rainforests.
