Prickly Pear Extract Liquid 10 ml

Prickly Pear Extract Liquid botanical hydrating concentrate for cosmetic systems

Prickly Pear Extract Liquid is a water based botanical concentrate derived from Opuntia ficus indica. The ingredient features a light transparent texture and integrates easily into aqueous and emulsion systems. The format does not require heating during incorporation and is suitable for private label development and industrial scale production.

INCI Opuntia Ficus Indica Extract

The extract is widely used in cosmetic and SPA formulations requiring a water soluble plant active with a soft sensory profile.

Properties and skin appearance outcome

Prickly Pear Extract Liquid supports hydration and comfort. In finished products it contributes to a fresher and smoother skin appearance while maintaining a lightweight non sticky texture.

Application across industries

The ingredient is incorporated into serums, gels, creams, fluids and toners. It is suitable for hydrating product lines and professional SPA systems.

The extract is added to the water phase at room temperature with proper mixing.

Recipe for a light moisturizing emulsion

Purified water 75 g
Prickly Pear Extract Liquid 10 g
Glycerin 5 g
Jojoba oil 6 ml
Emulsifier 3 g
Panthenol 1 g

To prepare the emulsion the emulsifier is combined with jojoba oil and heated until uniform. The water phase is prepared separately by blending purified water, glycerin and Prickly Pear Extract Liquid. The oil phase is gradually added to the water phase under continuous stirring to form a homogeneous cream texture. Panthenol is incorporated at the final stage and mixing continues until a stable structure is achieved.

Prickly Pear Extract Liquid is positioned for B2B development of stable botanical formulations with predictable performance and scalable manufacturing.
