Black Chokeberry Powder Extract 100 g

Aronia Powder Extract natural polyphenol rich colorant for cosmetic and functional formulations

Aronia Powder Extract is a finely processed plant ingredient derived from Aronia melanocarpa berries, preserving anthocyanins, tannins, and organic acids typical for chokeberry raw material. INCI Aronia Melanocarpa Fruit Extract. The ingredient is used in cosmetic, food, and formulation systems as a natural pigment source and polyphenol-rich component. It is suitable for applications requiring deep color development, dispersion stability, and compatibility with hydrophilic phases.

What it is and where it is used

Aronia Powder Extract is incorporated into aqueous and gel-based systems including serums, masks, toners, emulsions, and hydrogel products. It is also used in functional beverages, powdered blends, and SPA formulations.

The material is selected for formulations that require plant-based positioning, controlled color tone, and stable integration into water-based systems.

How it works

Anthocyanins in the extract respond to the formulation environment, generating color that varies depending on pH and concentration. The powder disperses into fine particles, forming a stable distributed phase.

The extract interacts with humectants and water-binding agents, contributing to uniformity and improving the consistency of the system.

Properties

Deep berry color from red-purple to almost black tones
Rich in polyphenols and tannin fractions
Dispersible in aqueous and hydrogel systems
Compatible with glycerin and propanediol
Suitable for transparent and semi-transparent formulations
Subtle natural berry aroma

Applications across industries

In cosmetics it is used in gels, serums, emulsions, and masks
In food and beverage it is used in drinks, blends, and supplements
In SPA systems it is applied in wraps and gel treatments
In formulation development it is used for natural color design and plant-based concepts

Behavior in formulation

Aronia Powder Extract forms a dispersion rather than a true solution. It is best introduced into the water phase or pre-dispersed in glycerin or propanediol.

In oil-containing systems, emulsification is required. The level of dispersion affects color uniformity and visual clarity.

How to use

Introduce into the water phase with continuous mixing
Pre-disperse for better wetting and uniformity
Control shear depending on system sensitivity
Avoid prolonged exposure to elevated temperature

Recommended usage level

0.2 to 3 percent for light color contribution
Up to 5 percent for deep оттенок
Adjust based on formulation requirements

Formulation example

Berry hydrogel system with aronia extract

Purified Water — 680 ml
Propanediol — 40 ml
Aronia Powder Extract — 8 g
Aloe Vera Gel — 220 ml
Panthenol — 10 ml
Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin — 5 ml
Fresh Dark Berry Fragrance Oil — 2 ml

Processing

Aronia Powder Extract is pre-dispersed in propanediol to ensure proper wetting. The dispersion is added into the main water phase under mixing.

Aloe Vera Gel is incorporated to build the structure. Panthenol, preservative, and fragrance are added at the final stage.

The system is mixed until homogeneous.

Important considerations

Color response depends on pH conditions
Avoid overheating during processing
Uniform dispersion is critical for consistent appearance
Final system performance depends on full formulation design
