Blackberry Fruit Powder Extract natural colorant and antioxidant for aqueous and gel formulations
Blackberry Fruit Powder Extract is a fine powdered ingredient obtained from Rubus fruticosus berries, preserving anthocyanins, polyphenols, and organic acids. INCI Rubus Fruticosus Fruit Extract. The material is used in cosmetic, food, and functional systems as a source of natural color and plant-derived bioactive compounds. It is applied in formulations where stable dispersion, controlled shade intensity, and compatibility with aqueous phases are required.
What it is and where it is used
Blackberry Fruit Powder Extract is incorporated into serums, gels, masks, toners, and light emulsions for face and body care. It is also used in SPA products as well as in functional beverages and blends.
The ingredient is selected in formulations that require natural berry tone, water phase support, and plant-based positioning.
How it works
Anthocyanins in the extract interact with the aqueous medium and generate color, with intensity depending on concentration and pH. The powder disperses as fine particles forming a uniform system.
The extract also interacts with hydrophilic components, supporting even distribution and improving formulation stability.
Properties
Natural shade from pink red to deep violet
Contains anthocyanins and polyphenols
Good dispersibility in aqueous systems
Compatible with glycerin and water soluble actives
Suitable for clear and gel-based formulations
Light 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 functional products
In SPA applications it is used in gel treatments and wraps
In formulation design it is used as a natural tinting and plant-based component
Behavior in formulation
Blackberry Fruit Powder Extract forms a dispersion and does not fully dissolve. It is best introduced into the aqueous phase or pre-dispersed in glycerin or propanediol.
In oil-containing systems it requires emulsification. Uniform particle distribution determines final appearance and color.
How to use
Add to the water phase with mixing
Pre-disperse for improved uniformity
Control mixing intensity
Avoid prolonged heating
Recommended usage level
0.3 to 3 percent for light tinting
Up to 5 percent for deeper color
Adjust based on formulation type
Formulation example
Hydrogel mask with blackberry extract
Purified Water — 660 ml
Aloe Vera Gel — 200 ml
Blackberry Fruit Powder Extract — 10 g
Glycerin — 40 ml
Panthenol — 10 ml
Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin — 5 ml
Berry Mix Fragrance Oil — 2 ml
Processing
Glycerin and Blackberry Fruit Powder Extract are mixed to obtain a uniform dispersion. The mixture is added to the water phase with stirring.
Aloe Vera Gel is incorporated to build structure. At the final stage Panthenol, preservative, and fragrance are added.
The system is mixed until homogeneous.
Important considerations
Color depends on pH and concentration
Avoid prolonged heat exposure
Dispersion quality affects final appearance
Overall performance depends on full formulation composition
