A Vitamin-Rich Berry Concentrate for Skincare and Food Formulations
Blackcurrant extract in a 100 ml bottle is a concentrated botanical derived from ripe berries, containing natural vitamin C, anthocyanins and organic acids. Global demand for this ingredient spans several industries at once: skincare formulators value it for antioxidant and brightening properties, the food sector relies on it as a natural flavoring and coloring agent for beverages and desserts, while supplement manufacturers include it in vitamin blends. This item belongs to the Liquid Extracts category, which brings together water-alcohol-glycerin based botanicals suited for precise dosing across many formulas.
In cosmetic recipes, blackcurrant extract is typically added during the cooling phase, once the base has dropped below 40 degrees, to protect its active compounds from heat degradation. A usage rate of 2 to 5 percent of total product weight is generally recommended depending on desired potency. The extract pairs naturally with other fruit and plant derivatives: combined with Cherry Extract it lends a gentle tonic effect to skin formulas, while blending it with Aloe Extract boosts overall hydration in the finished product. For richer antioxidant blends, formulators also combine it with Spirulina Extract, creating a nutrient-dense composition suitable for serums and masks.
Within food production, this extract adds flavor and tint to juices, syrups, jellies, fillings and certain alcoholic beverages, usually at lower concentrations than in cosmetics, adjusted to taste preference. In household chemistry it occasionally appears in scented products to add a berry nuance to fragrance blends. The 100 ml size is well suited for home cosmetic making, small trial batches, and formulators who want to test how the extract performs in different bases before scaling up production.
Store blackcurrant extract in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in a cool dark place to prevent premature breakdown of vitamin C and anthocyanins. Once opened, use the contents within the shelf life stated on the packaging, keeping the cap sealed tightly after each use.
