Are you a firm believer in the importance of skincare? Are you constantly searching for a better way to take care of your skin? We believe that the secret to our health and well-being lies with Mother Nature, and we’re constantly on the lookout for better natural remedies to take better care of our bodies. 

This has led our research to the benefits of Biocellulose (sometimes spelt Bio-cellulose) and how it has radically improved the skincare game. We now choose to develop bio-cellulose masks in our Leaf Juice Laboratory so that we are able to deliver its benefits to our customers.

If you haven’t a clue what biocellulose is or why everyone keeps going on about it, this article will give you an introduction to what biocellulose is and why it is good for your skin.

What is Biocellulose?

Bio-cellulose is the by-product of a special bacteria that feed on coconut water and excretes cellulose – you can think of it as organic “poop” from this bacteria! Originally developed for use in biomedical fields, biocellulose is used as artificial skin to soothe burns, in dressings to treat wounds, and also in other surgical disciplines (e.g. microsurgery, reconstructive surgery). 

Now one of the most advanced technologies used in facial masks today, biocellulose is an all-natural, highly absorbent material that is perfect for delivering wholesome serums directly to your skin. With their unique fibre properties, biocellulose masks are able to distribute higher levels of moisture to more areas of your skin at deeper levels of penetration.  It is also known to be very gentle making it suitable for use on sensitive skin.
