Sourcing and specification details
Edelweiss Extract Powder 10 g originates from Germany and carries the INCI designation Leontopodium alpinum (and) Maltodextrin. The powder exhibits a characteristic odor and arrives in transport-grade packaging. Cosmetic laboratories and supplement manufacturers source this material for consistent performance in finished goods. Powdered Extracts and Algae category lists comparable botanical concentrates.
Technical parameters for formulation
The material disperses readily in hot water or polysorbate-80, occasionally leaving a faint sediment. Recommended input levels range from 1 to 4 percent, with lower percentages for toners and higher percentages for masks. Addition occurs in the aqueous phase after emulsification once the batch temperature drops below 40 degrees Celsius. Solubility behavior supports both clear and opaque systems.
Applications across cosmetics and related sectors
Formulators incorporate the powder into creams, serums, emulsions, masks and body wraps at 0,5-3 percent. Hair-care products, scalp toners and bath preparations also benefit from its inclusion. International buyers value the standardized quality for both small-batch and pilot-scale production. Edelweiss Extract Powder 1 kg supports larger development programs.
Role in dietary supplements and food manufacturing
Supplement producers and food-industry facilities purchase this powder as a botanical raw material for capsules, functional blends and fortified beverages. Confectionery plants integrate it into dry mixes and tea compositions. Both wholesale and retail volumes of 10 grams serve private formulators and industrial clients worldwide. Botanical Extracts section offers additional options for similar projects.
