Can Microplastics Get Stuck in Your Pores?
At 707 Flora, we not only care about the health of your skin, but the health of the planet, too.
That’s why we’re always opting for Earth-friendly alternatives whenever we can – from our green cartons made with wind-recycled energy, to the ingredients in our CBD skin care formulas.
Today, I want to talk about one such alternative that’s much better for your skin and the planet than its eco-damaging counterpart – castor oil beads!
Castor Oil Beads - An effective, natural alternative to microplastic beads, these biodegradable beads are derived from the castor plant and treated to create a non-irritating exfoliating polish that brightens and revitalizes skin.
Can microplastics get stuck in your pores?
Recently, @emickkah on TikTok claimed her esthetician stopped mid-facial to explain she had something orange and red stuck in her pores. When asked what face wash she used, she immediately knew the culprit:
“Neutrogena beads have been stuck in my face,” she says. “Stuck in my face!”
@emickkah Uh yeah goodbye

After the esthetician extracted the tiny plastic pieces, @emickkah vowed to stop using her face wash with microplastics and urged others to do the same.
So, microplastic beads not only pollute the planet and irritate the skin – they also can get stuck in your pores, causing more build up and irritation. No thanks!
For a skin- and Earth-friendly alternative, try 707 Flora’s Core Cleanser that contains Castor Oil Beads.
Unlike their microplastic counterparts, castor oil beads are a natural alternative that are water soluble, eco-certified, biodegradable, and gently exfoliate the skin without irritation.
