Affipore 1 L

Affipore botanical active based on Barosma betulina for sebum control and skin texture balance

Affipore is a plant derived cosmetic active obtained from Barosma betulina leaf extract. The ingredient is designed for skin care formulations focused on balancing skin appearance and supporting refined skin texture. The material typically appears as a clear to slightly amber water soluble liquid with mild botanical odor. It dissolves easily in water and hydro glycolic systems and distributes evenly in creams, gels, serums and lotions. The ingredient is incorporated into the aqueous phase or added during the cooling stage of emulsions. Its liquid format ensures convenient processing and compatibility with emulsifiers, gel formers and moisturizing systems.

Properties and skin performance

In cosmetic systems Affipore contributes to a more balanced skin appearance and supports a matte visual finish. The ingredient integrates easily into gel and emulsion formulations while maintaining a light sensory profile. Formulations remain clear or slightly opalescent depending on the base system.

Industry applications

Affipore is used in face creams, serums, balancing gels, cleansing formulations, pore refining masks and toning lotions. The ingredient is widely used in functional skin care ranges designed for combination and oily skin. It is suitable for private label development and contract manufacturing thanks to stable aqueous integration and reproducible batch performance.

Formula example balancing facial gel for sebum control

Affipore 25 g
Purified water 900 ml
Glycerin 70 g
Propanediol 50 g
Aloe vera liquid extract 20 g
Carbomer 3 g
Preservative system 2 g

Carbomer is gradually dispersed into purified water under continuous mixing until the polymer particles are evenly distributed. After hydration glycerin and propanediol are incorporated and mixed until homogeneous. Affipore and aloe vera extract are added and mixed thoroughly until evenly distributed throughout the formulation. The preservative system is incorporated and the pH is adjusted to the range required for gel formation. The final result is a lightweight balancing facial gel with sebum controlling properties.

Affipore is designed for B2B manufacturers of cosmetic products, formulation laboratories and contract production facilities. The ingredient ensures stable aqueous systems, compatibility with industrial processing and reproducible performance in scalable cosmetic manufacturing.
