Camwood Powder

Description

Camwood is a cherished West African beauty ingredient traditionally used in body care rituals. The red heartwood powder was mixed with oils or water to create beautifying pastes that enhanced glow and skin tone.
Camwood powder supports smoother texture, improved radiance, and gentle exfoliation. It contains natural pigments, tannins, and antioxidants that help remove dead skin cells and protect against environmental stress.
Recommended usage is 5–15% in scrubs and masks, and 1–5% in soaps and cleansers. Suitable for dull or uneven skin types.
