ImerCare P-Scrub

The innovative ImerCare^® P-Scrub range is an engineered perlite portfolio derived from volcanic rock, designed as an environment friendly alternative to polymer microbeads used in face and body scrubs. ImerCare^® P-Scrub comprises a range of particle sizes to provide just the right exfoliation effect in face, body and foot scrubs and anti-dandruff shampoos.

The combination of the natural hardness of perlite with proprietary technologies to rigorously control the particle size distribution and shape provides unparalleled benefits to formulators looking for eco-friendly exfoliation solutions with a soft touch feel.

ImerCare^® P-Scrub provides superior performance in body and face scrubs, shower gels, liquid and bar soaps, cleansers and anti-cellulite peeling gels.

Used in formulations at 3-5%, ImerCare^® P-Scrub provides:

• Gentle exfoliation removing dead skin cells
• Rejuvenation of new skin cells 
• Stimulation of cell renewal
• Smooth, healthy skin
• Creamier lather
• Luminous, glowing skin

ImerCare P-Scrub grades are ideal natural alternatives to oil-derived products such as PE beads. 

They can be used to replace PE beads with a 50% weight reduction for similar exfoliation properties. 

Grades range from 100 to 800 microns, depending on end use. 

This technology has been patented by Imerys and results from a 5-month assessment program with clinical and in-vitro tests (further details of study available on request).

• ImerCare^® 120P-Scrub and 190P-Scrub for face scrubs

• Gives a creamy texture

 Typically, improvement is seen at 3-5% of ImerCare^® 90P-Scrub in the shampoo formulation.
