Hess Pumice is a Proven, Eco-Friendly Alternative to MIcrobeads
(PRWEB) January 20, 2016 -- In response to the US ban on the manufacture and commerce of products containing plastic microbeads, Hess Pumice, the US company that mines and refines the world’s purest commercial deposit of white pumice, announces the publication of a dedicated website that details the fit of pumice as an active exfoliating ingredient in personal care products.
The passing of the Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015 in the US caught few in the personal care products industry by surprise, as grass-roots efforts to stop the environmental damage from plastic microbeads have previously spurred announcements by several key cosmetic and personal care product companies to abandon the microbead. But the new law certainly puts a spur to the efforts to identify, reformulate, and sustainably source an effective replacement exfoliant.
Pumice is not new to the cosmetics and personal care products industry—it’s been used for years as an economical and effective exfoliating active. But there are undoubtably many who have little to no experience formulating products containing pumice. The purpose of the microbeadreplacement.com website is to provide a quick overview of the characteristic benefits pumice provides in exfoliating cosmetic and personal care product formulations.
