The product originates from Germany and is supplied as a clear liquid in 25 ml packs. It is obtained via glycolic extraction of apricot fruit and meets the requirements of cosmetic and food-grade raw materials. International buyers value consistent quality and documented traceability for large-scale production. Glycolic Extracts from this source integrate reliably into both aqueous and glycerin-based systems.
Technical parameters for formulation
Solubility covers water, alcohol and glycerin. Recommended input levels range from 0.05 to 5 percent. The extract is added to cooling emulsions under gentle agitation below 40 degrees Celsius. These parameters allow precise control in both laboratory and industrial batches.
Applications in cosmetic laboratories
Formulators incorporate the extract into serums, toners and body lotions to support skin renewal and even tone. It performs well in rinse-off masks and leave-on treatments. Cosmetic labs also use it in scalp care products to improve texture and comfort. Apricot Glycolic Extract 1 L is available for pilot and full-scale runs.
