Prunus amygdalus dulcis meal refers to the crusty residue that remains after pressing the kernels of sweet almonds (Prunus dulcis var. dulcis).

Prunus amygdalus dulcis meal is used in cosmetic formulations. The extract acts as an abrasive (removes plaque or impurities from the skin surface by abrasive/polishing action) and as a swelling agent (reduces the density of cosmetic products by swelling).
