Developed by Worlee and based on castor oil WorléeBeads HCO can be used in environmental friendly cosmetic rinse-off products giving a natural alternative to plastic micro particles (PE and PP) exfoliants.

Due to their low particle size, plastic micro particles (100 – 500 µm) used in cosmetic applications can pass through filter plants and finally end up in great quantities in the oceans and from there to marine life and finally into the human food chain. Plastic micro particles finding their way to landfill may still be potentially harmful for decades due to the very slow decomposition of plastics. The concentration of the toxic, carcinogenic and hormonally acting substances caused by these plastic micro particles will only increases over time and the total risk and impact on humans and the environment has yet to be realised. WorléeBeads HCO offers a safe and environmental friendly alternative.
