About corozo
A naturally occurring plant-based material derived from the seeds of the tagua nut, also known as "vegetable ivory," from the Ivory Palm tree native to South America. Renowned for its resemblance to horn in appearance and durability.
Uses: Primarily used for buttons due to its exceptional strength, heat resistance, and ability to take dyes and engravings. Also gaining traction in jewelry, accessories, and decorative items.
Tiers come from the Unwrap materials glossary, a guide to what's natural, nature-inspired, or best avoided.
