Product Description
Sourcing and specification details
Grapefruit seed extract is produced in France through gentle extraction of seeds followed by stabilization in a glycerin base. The result is a turbid liquid with light citrus aroma and active concentration not exceeding 3 percent. Pack size is 10 ml, suitable for both laboratory trials and small-scale production runs by cosmetic labs and supplement manufacturers.
Functional value in formulations
The ingredient helps slow oxidative processes in finished blends thanks to natural flavonoids and organic acids present in the seeds. It is added to emulsions and protective systems as a supporting component that contributes to texture stability throughout shelf life. International buyers source it for cosmetic creams, serums and hair products as well as for food-grade applications.
Use in dietary supplements and food production
Supplement manufacturers and food industry factories purchase the material as botanical raw ingredient for dietary supplement formulations, drinks, sauces and functional blends. Private formulators and confectioners order it wholesale and retail to extend freshness of recipes without synthetic additives. Extract Concentrates section lists compatible items for custom complexes while Botanical Extracts offers broader sourcing options.
Dosage, phase and solubility
Recommended input ranges from 0.1 to 1 percent of total formula weight, with 0.6 percent as optimal level. The extract is water-soluble and introduced at the final stage once temperature drops below 40 degrees Celsius to preserve activity. It pairs well with other concentrates such as grape seed extract for enhanced performance in large-scale manufacturing.
Sample hair tonic formulation
