Standardization: 8.8% Naringin

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

Grapefruit Liquid Extract is standardized for Neringin (8.8%), a flavonoid that occurs naturally in citrus fruits, especially in grapefruit. The antioxidant properties of Neringin help to prevent damage caused by the effects of UV radiation and oxidative stress by improving the skin’s texture and elasticity. As a result, it slows the appearance of the visible signs of aging and promotes a revitalized appearance.

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 and organic cosmetic formulations with its innate hue. This means that the product colors that were formerly possible to obtain only using artificial and often objectionable constituents can now be achieved though 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 Grapefruit Liquid Extract – Standardized is Light Brown to Dark Brown; however, there is a possibility of this color changing, depending on the formulation to which it is added.
