Quick answer
Apricot kernel shell granule is a hard-but-friable abrasive used as a natural alternative to microplastic beads in cosmetic peeling products. It is sourced from a Malatya-origin supply; it is available in different calibres for cosmetic purity or industrial fine polishing.
What is it?
Ground from apricot kernel shell and available in different calibres, this granule abrades without scratching the surface thanks to its hard-but-friable structure; this property makes it stand out in cosmetic and delicate industrial applications. It rests on a solid source, supplied regularly from the apricot-processing season in and around Malatya. Following microplastic bans and shifting consumer demand, it has been sought as a natural, biodegradable alternative to plastic microbeads in face/body peeling products. On the industrial side, it cleans aluminum, brass and delicate alloys without deforming the surface. For cosmetics manufacturers, batches with a raised cleaning standard are available; for industrial use, wider calibre ranges. Regular shipments are made to domestic cosmetic-feedstock suppliers and, for export, by the container to the cosmetics/chemical sector.

How to Choose?
A very fine, narrow calibre is preferred for cosmetic use, and a wider calibre for industrial polishing. Cosmetic buyers should state the product type (face/body, cream/gel) and the desired texture feel; industrial buyers should state the surface material to be treated. With this information the right batch is matched and shipped. Exact purity and moisture are shared on request as a typical reference range; an exact per-batch guarantee is not offered.
