Vanilla Bean Powder
Part of our Ingredient Glossary — educational information about raw materials we may use in our products. We don't sell raw ingredients.
When you see tiny dark specks in our vanilla products, this is what you're seeing: real, ground vanilla beans. We use this powder to connect you directly to the whole botanical. It’s a visual and aromatic promise that you are getting the authentic, unadulterated goodness of one of the world's most cherished spices.
In our scrubs and soaps, these fine particles provide a very gentle mechanical exfoliation. They are not harsh or scratchy, but just effective enough to help buff away dull skin, leaving a soft and polished feeling behind. It's a much milder alternative to more aggressive exfoliants.
While an extract provides a strong scent, the ground bean offers a different aromatic experience. When warmed by your skin and shower, it releases a soft, deep, and truly authentic vanilla fragrance. It's less of a loud perfume and more of a warm, comforting background note.
Using the whole ground bean means you are also getting the full spectrum of the plant's compounds, including its natural antioxidant properties. It’s a simple, beautiful, and honest ingredient that we love for its texture, its aroma, and its authenticity.
