It’s the ground, dried leaf of rosemary used as a natural scrub fine and botanical colorant. In rinse-off products it offers very mild mechanical exfoliation and a fresh, herbaceous character.

• Powder: provides physical polishing, color specks, fiber/solid content, and a soft, dry herbal scent.
• Oil: concentrated aroma and clarifying feel—no scrub.
• Water (hydrosol): water-soluble freshness—no grit or oil.

They can be used together but serve different roles.

Delivers subtle exfoliation, helps remove the feel of residue, and leaves a clean, renewed finish—ideal in soap bars, syndet bars, and powder cleansers.

In small amounts, the powder offers light root polishing, helping lift product buildup at the scalp surface for a fresh-root feel. Keep levels low for comfort and easy rinse-out.

A muted herbal scent and green to olive tone. In translucent bases you’ll see fine specks; in opaque bars it can deepen color to mossy green/khaki depending on percentage and processing heat.

At low levels it minimally affects foam and can even enhance the clean-scrub perception. Very high loads may mute bubbles or make bars crumbly—stay within suggested ranges.

Often, at low percentages and fine grades. As with any physical exfoliant, patch-test first and limit frequency if you’re reactive. Avoid the eye area.

Botanicals can oxidize or brown with heat/light. Use opaque or amber packaging where possible and store cool and dry. Color shifts are cosmetic and expected in natural tints.

• Kaolin or rice powder to soften scrub and improve slip
• Trehalose/glycerin for comfort and low tack
• Tea tree or rosemary essential oil (very low %) to amplify herbal freshness
• Panthenol, aloe for soothing balance in scalp/skin cleansers

It naturally contains polyphenols that can contribute to an antioxidant story for product aesthetics. Potency varies with harvest and milling; do not rely on it for preservation—use a proper preservative system in water-based formulas.
