Product Obsession: Kaia Naturals Bamboo Tapioca Beads

Kaia Naturals is a Canadian based company which uses Bamboo as their primary ingredient in their products. Bamboo is rich in the mineral Silica (also known as the "beauty mineral"), which helps to rebuild collagen in the skin. I have several products that contain natural silica, but nothing with Bamboo, so when they reached out to me to try their new exfoliating cleansing powder, I was very interested to check it out.

Kaia Naturals Bamboo Tapioca Beads are extremely gentle and can be used daily. This fine powder is made with crushed Bamboo spheres which are suspended in Tapioca powder and includes White clay for extra purifying properties.

 What I liked most about this product is that although it comes in a powder form, it lathers like a face wash when you add water to it. I've never used an exfoliating powdered cleanser quite like this, so I was impressed by the uniqueness of it.

I also loved how gentle it was on my sensitive skin, and how smooth and incredibly soft my skin was afterwards. I tend to experience a little dryness on certain areas of my face even during the humid days of Summer, so this definitely helped to alleviate that!

I used a very tiny amount in this pic, but you get the idea...

You only need to use about 1/4 teaspoon of the product for your entire face, and trust me, that little bit goes a very long way! And while this didn't really remove any of my make up on its own (I used my oil cleanser to do that first), it definitely ensured that no traces of make up remained after cleansing.

You can also substitute your favorite oil for water to create an exfoliating oil cleanser - see here for various options! I will be trying this method out tonight!

Overall, I was really impressed by this product. It didn't scratch or irritate my skin, it left my skin soft and supple and it didn't break me out. Pretty much everything I want in an exfoliating cleanser.
