Exfoliant – Propol™ ISLB Series

Gentle scrubbing agent with cleansing and moisturizing action.
Propol™ ISLB absorbs impurities with a hydro-gel touch and is ideal for skin, scalp, and oral care applications.

Mild and Biodegradable Exfoliant for Sensitive Cleansing Solutions

Propol™ ISLB is a gentle, non-abrasive scrubbing agent designed for personal care products that require mild yet effective cleansing. Each particle is coated with a unique hydro-gel layer capable of absorbing dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin or scalp, while simultaneously providing a soft moisturizing effect.

Unlike harsh exfoliants, Propol™ ISLB offers a tender massaging feel and is fully biodegradable, making it an ideal alternative to polyethylene (PE) beads. A specific grade of the product – Propol™ ISLB-W – features a whiter color with fewer black specs, offering enhanced visual appeal for premium formulations.
