Bioscrub® 80PC

Bioscrub® 80PC is a naturally derived high molecular weight powder based on polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biopolymer produced from renewable resources via the sustainable bio-fermentation of sugars. PHB is characterized as Readily Biodegradable under OECD standards for marine and freshwater environments. PHB is hydrolytically stable and will not affect formulation pH.

Bioscrubs are designed for use as non-irritating scrub and exfoliating agents providing the same high performance of irregular particle shaped polyethylene microbead plastic exfoliants. These marine biodegradable and eco-friendly Bioscrubs are available in 20 mesh and 50 mesh particle size distributions to allow the formulator flexibility in controlling the degree of abrasiveness and scrubbing action that is required. Independent blind consumer panel testing has confirmed that Bioscrub provides a similar level of exfoliation when compared with traditional polyethylene microplastic beads. Bioscrub® 80PC has a maximum particle size of 180.
