Affipore 100 ml

Affipore botanical active derived from Barosma betulina for sebum balancing and skin texture refinement

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

Properties and skin performance

In cosmetic systems Affipore contributes to a more matte skin appearance and supports smoother looking skin texture. The ingredient integrates easily into gel and emulsion formulations while maintaining a lightweight sensory profile. Formulations remain clear or slightly opalescent depending on the base system and provide a fresh cosmetic feel on the skin.

Industry applications

Affipore is used in face creams, serums, balancing gels, cleansing products, 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 mattifying facial toner with botanical active

Affipore 22 g
Purified water 950 ml
Glycerin 60 g
Propanediol 50 g
Green tea liquid extract 20 g
Panthenol 10 g
Preservative system 2 g

Purified water is combined with glycerin and propanediol and mixed until a homogeneous base is formed. Affipore and green tea extract are incorporated and mixed thoroughly until evenly distributed. Panthenol and the preservative system are added and mixing continues until uniform. The pH is adjusted to a balanced level suitable for aqueous toner systems. The result is a clear mattifying facial toner formulated with botanical active ingredients.

Affipore is intended 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.
