Guarana Extract Powder 10 g

A Caffeine-Rich Botanical Boost for Firming and Energizing Formulas

Guarana extract powder is derived from the seeds of a South American plant prized for its naturally high caffeine content, related alkaloids, and tannins. Globally, this raw material is in strongest demand among manufacturers of firming and anti-cellulite cosmetics, energy drinks, sports nutrition, and encapsulated supplements, which makes the 10 gram size ideal for lab trials, small-batch formulation work, and home-based cosmetic making. This item belongs to the Powdered Extracts and Algae category, where plant-based concentrates for targeted active formulas are gathered.

In skincare, guarana is valued for its ability to stimulate microcirculation and give skin a firmer, more toned appearance, so the extract is commonly added to body creams, gels and serums, anti-cellulite wraps, warming masks, and facial lifting formulas. Within the food and pharmaceutical industries, the powder serves as a natural caffeine source in tonic drinks, bars, dragees, and capsules, while household care lines occasionally use it in treatments for tired or problem-prone hands and feet. Typical usage rates range from 0.5 to 3 percent of the finished product, with the exact amount depending on the active compound concentration in a given batch and the desired intensity of effect.

The extract is introduced at the final production stage, into the water or water-glycerin phase, at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius to protect its heat-sensitive compounds. Before adding, dissolve the powder in a small amount of warm water or hydrolate, then blend it into the main batch under constant stirring until fully homogeneous. Guarana pairs well with other botanical concentrates: in comprehensive firming and toning formulas it is often combined with Artichoke Extract Powder, which supports the drainage and purifying properties of the blend, as well as with Grapefruit Extract Powder, which enhances the invigorating, refreshing effect. For decongestant and skin-strengthening formulas, guarana also performs well alongside Elecampane Extract Powder.

Store the powder in a tightly sealed container, in a dry, dark place at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, since exposure reduces the potency of its active compounds. When stored properly, the extract retains its properties for an extended period, making it a practical raw material for small workshops and home labs that prefer not to keep large stock on hand.
