Red Currant Extract Powder 100 g

Red Currant Powder Extract plant derived color and antioxidant component for cosmetic and formulation systems

Red Currant Powder Extract is a spray dried or milled plant extract obtained from Ribes rubrum fruit, preserving a spectrum of anthocyanins, flavonoids, and organic acids. INCI Ribes Rubrum Fruit Extract. The material is used as a multifunctional component in cosmetic, food, and formulation systems where natural color expression, dispersion stability, and compatibility with aqueous matrices are required.

What it is and where it is used

Red Currant Powder Extract is applied in serums, gel systems, emulsions, masks, and water based formulations. It is also used in functional beverages, nutritional systems, and SPA oriented products.

The ingredient is selected for formulations that require plant based positioning, controlled color tone, and integration into hydrophilic environments without phase instability.

How it works

Anthocyanins within the extract interact with the surrounding medium, creating a visible color response depending on concentration and pH environment. The powder disperses into fine particles forming a uniform phase.

The extract contributes to formulation structure by interacting with water binding components and supporting consistency of the system.

Properties

Natural red berry color profile with adjustable intensity
Contains polyphenolic compounds and organic acids
Dispersible in aqueous and hydrogel systems
Compatible with humectants and water soluble actives
Suitable for transparent and semi transparent formulations
Provides mild plant derived aromatic note

Applications across industries

In cosmetics it is used in gel masks serums emulsions and toning systems
In food and beverage it is used in functional drinks and blends
In spa formulations it is applied in wraps and gel based treatments
In product development it is used to build plant based formulations and color systems

Behavior in formulation

Red Currant Powder Extract forms a dispersed system rather than a true solution. It is best incorporated into the aqueous phase or pre dispersed in glycerin or propanediol.

In oil containing systems it requires emulsification. Particle distribution affects final appearance and should be controlled through mixing.

How to use

Introduce into the water phase under continuous mixing
Use pre dispersion for improved uniformity
Control shear to avoid uneven particle distribution
Avoid prolonged heating

Recommended usage level

0.3 to 3 percent for light color and functional contribution
Up to 5 percent for deeper оттенок
Adjust based on formulation goals and base composition

Formulation example

Hydrating gel with berry extract

Purified Water — 650 ml
Propanediol — 40 ml
Red Currant Powder Extract — 8 g
Aloe Vera Gel — 200 ml
Panthenol — 10 ml
Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin — 5 ml
Fresh Berry Fragrance Oil — 2 ml

Processing

Propanediol and Red Currant Powder Extract are combined and mixed until a uniform dispersion is achieved. This dispersion is added into the main water phase.

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

The system is mixed until a homogeneous gel is obtained.

Important considerations

Color response may vary depending on pH
Avoid high temperature processing to maintain stability
Uniform dispersion is essential for consistent visual output
Final characteristics depend on the full formulation system
