Cinquefoil Extract Powder 10% 1 kg

Bulk Botanical Powder Built for Consistent Astringent Formulations

Cinquefoil Extract Powder 10% in a 1 kg pack is designed for manufacturing facilities, contract labs and production lines that need a reliable, large-scale supply of active botanical raw material without frequent restocking. The product belongs to the Powdered Extracts and Algae category, which brings together concentrated plant and algae derivatives used as functional additives in skin care, color cosmetics and related industrial formulations.

Cinquefoil (Potentilla) has long been valued for its notable content of tannins, flavonoids and organic acids, which give the extract pronounced astringent, toning and calming properties. This is exactly why the strongest global demand for the ingredient comes from the skin care industry: manufacturers of creams and serums for oily and blemish-prone skin, toners, aftershave lotions, pore-refining products and anti-aging lines rely on cinquefoil as a plant-based alternative to synthetic astringent agents. A second significant field of use is pharmaceutical and parapharmaceutical production, where dried cinquefoil root extracts are incorporated into rinse solutions and topical gels. A third notable application is the food industry, particularly the production of herbal teas and blends, where the extract is prized for its characteristic astringent finish.

For cosmetic emulsions, the typical recommended dosage of the powdered extract ranges between 0.1% and 1% of the total formula weight, with the exact concentration fine-tuned depending on the desired intensity of action. The ingredient should be added at the final production stage, into the cooled water phase at a temperature not exceeding 40-45°C, to avoid degrading heat-sensitive flavonoids and tannins. The extract dissolves readily in water-based and hydro-alcoholic systems, which makes it easy to combine with hydrosols or introduce as part of a ready-made toning blend.

In formulas targeting problematic or combination skin, cinquefoil is often paired with other botanical extracts: for instance, with Cranberry Extract Powder, which contributes antioxidant support and a light toning effect, while Melilot Extract Powder is introduced to soften the astringent action and reduce the risk of dryness, thanks to its calming reputation. This combination is frequently used in lines developed for sensitive and inflammation-prone skin. Before committing to a full-scale 1 kg batch, many formulators first validate the recipe on a smaller scale using Cinquefoil Extract Powder 10% in a 5 g pack, fine-tune the dosage, and only then scale purchasing up to the kilogram format.

The powder should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a dry and dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, since excess moisture leads to clumping and gradual loss of activity. When storage conditions are respected, the product retains its declared concentration of active compounds throughout the entire shelf life, which is particularly important when building a warehouse stock intended to feed continuous production lines.
