Affipore 5 ml

Affipore botanical active derived from Barosma betulina for refined skin texture and balanced appearance

Affipore is a plant derived cosmetic active obtained from Barosma betulina leaf extract. The ingredient is designed for skin care formulations aimed at maintaining balanced skin appearance and refined skin surface 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 creams, gels, serums 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 smoother looking skin and supports a matte visual finish. 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 applied 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 incorporation and reproducible batch performance.

Formula example balancing facial serum with botanical active

Affipore 25 g
Purified water 920 ml
Glycerin 70 g
Propanediol 50 g
Niacinamide 15 g
Cucumber liquid extract 20 g
Preservative system 2 g

Purified water is combined with glycerin and propanediol and mixed until a homogeneous base is formed. Niacinamide is incorporated and dissolved completely. Affipore and cucumber extract are then introduced and mixed thoroughly until evenly distributed throughout the formulation. The preservative system is added and the pH is adjusted to a balanced level suitable for serum formulations. The result is a clear balancing facial serum 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.
