Fucus Extract 25% 1 kg

Brown Seaweed Power for Firming and Body-Contouring Formulas

Fucus vesiculosus extract at 25% concentration in a 1 kg package is a staple ingredient in the cosmetic industry, where brown seaweed compounds are widely used to build anti-cellulite, drainage, and firming formulations. This raw material belongs to the Powdered Extracts and Algae category, which brings together botanical and marine concentrates for professional formulation work. Beyond skincare, fucus is also used in spa-oriented body wrap products, in select food supplement applications as a natural source of iodine and trace minerals, and across the broader wellness sector.

The primary use of this extract lies in silhouette-correcting products: anti-cellulite creams, gels, body wraps, lymphatic drainage concentrates, and firming serums. Active compounds found in brown algae help support skin tone, contribute to elasticity-boosting formulas, and function well within detox-style product lines. Fucus is frequently added to shampoos and hair masks, where it is positioned as an ingredient supporting scalp mineral balance and hair density. In household and spa-grade cosmetics, the extract also appears in bath salts, marine-themed scrubs, and spa treatment ranges.

A typical dosage for the dry fucus extract in finished formulations ranges from 0.5% to 3%, with the exact percentage depending on the product type and the desired concentration of active compounds. It is best introduced during the cooling phase of an emulsion, at a temperature no higher than 40-45 degrees Celsius, to preserve the biologically active compounds of the seaweed. Pre-dispersing the powder in a small amount of water or hydrosol before adding it to the batch helps achieve even distribution throughout the product.

Fucus pairs well with other botanical concentrates: in drainage and toning recipes it is often combined with Mint Extract Powder for a refreshing effect in leg creams and cooling gels, as well as with Green Tea Extract Powder, which reinforces the antioxidant profile of the formula. For softer, more soothing products, Clitoria Extract Powder can be added to bring a gentler, calming note to the recipe. The 1 kg package size is well suited for small-batch and studio-scale production, allowing labs and workshops to consistently manufacture anti-cellulite and drainage cosmetic lines without frequent raw material reordering.

Fucus extract should be stored in a dry place, protected from direct light, in a tightly sealed container, at room temperature without sharp humidity fluctuations. Under these conditions the powder retains its activity throughout the stated shelf life.
