Black Currant Extract 100G

Description

Black Currant Extract – Standardized is a liquid blend of Black Currant Extract and Propanediol produced through a unique manufacturing technology.

Rich in skin-nourishing fatty acids and protective antioxidants, Black Currant Extract hydrates, softens, and rejuvenates the skin. This Extract is standardized for Anthocyanins (4.37%), compounds that occur naturally in a variety of plants, fruits, and vegetables. Anthocyanins are recognized as powerful antioxidants, helping to improve the appearance of free radical damage caused by sun exposure or pollutants. They are ideal for a wide range of products intended to revitalize the appearance of skin and hair.

With a plant-based origin, Propanediol is a biodegradable and petrochemical-free solvent that is NPA approved, making it an excellent corn sugar-derived alternative to petroleum-based Glycols for hair and skincare formulations. It offers benefits and functionalities that include improved emollience, enhanced viscosity, non-irritating properties, exceptional sensory characteristics, clarity, and anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, among many more.

The characteristic color of this botanical extract imbues natural cosmetic formulations with its innate hue. This means that the product colors that were formerly possible to obtain only through the use of artificial and often objectionable constituents can now be achieved through plant-based ingredients that impart not only their beneficial, skin health-enhancing properties but also their individual natural colors. It is strongly recommended that small batch trials be conducted to determine the dosage required to achieve the desired shade imbued by the extract.

The original color of Black Currant Liquid Extract – Standardized is Dark Pinkish Red; however, there is a possibility of this color changing, depending on the formulation to which it is added.
