Then choose the particle.
Developing a body scrub, rinse-off cleanser or exfoliating soap? Particle size, shape, loading and the surrounding base all influence the final experience. An ingredient sample is where the comparison begins.

Three granule reference samples. Explore the material at full size, then compare the specification for the grade you need.

A quick note on mesh. Mesh counts sieve openings per linear inch. Within the same sieve standard, a higher mesh number generally means a finer opening. Microns (µm) express size directly; an exact conversion requires the sieve standard and aperture specification.

A micron is one thousandth of a millimetre. The diagrams below use the same drawing scale so you can compare a finer, intermediate and coarser particle appearance.

Another application.
Apricot kernel shell powder in toothpaste
Beyond skin-care exfoliants, apricot kernel shell powder has an abrasive ingredient function relevant to toothpaste and oral-care formulation. This application calls for its own material specification and finished-product evaluation.
Discuss an oral-care-qualified grade, particle characteristics, abrasivity and purity requirements separately from body-scrub granules.

A DIFFERENT WAY TO SEE THE SHELL
More purpose.
From the same fruit.
The hard shell around the apricot kernel can become a useful granular material. We manufacture apricot kernel shell granules and powder, connecting the source material with the particle characteristics your application requires.
Natural origin is the beginning of the conversation. Particle character, documentation and performance in the intended application complete it.

Let's clear
things up.
More detail for ingredient buyers, formulators and product development teams.
What are apricot kernel shell granules?
They are particles produced from the hard protective shell surrounding the apricot kernel. The shell is a different material from the inner kernel and from apricot kernel oil.
Which particle size should I evaluate?
Start with the intended product, particle visibility and target texture. Compare samples in the actual formulation; a size range alone does not establish suitability.
Can I request a sample and technical documents?
Prepare an enquiry with your intended application, target size and required documents. A specification, current SDS and lot-specific CoA support a more informed assessment.
Are the photographs a particle-size comparison?
No. The granule photographs show reference samples labelled in mesh. They are not calibrated microscopy images and are not relabelled as the micron ranges listed on this website.
Is apricot shell the same as apricot kernel?
No. The shell is the hard protective layer surrounding the inner kernel. Use the supplier’s technical and ingredient documentation to confirm the material identity.
Can apricot kernel shell powder be used in toothpaste?
A suitably qualified grade may be evaluated for mechanical cleaning and polishing in toothpaste. Confirm the exact material identity, particle characteristics and abrasivity with the finished formulation; the illustrative scrub ranges on this site are not oral-care specifications.
