Lavender extract 1:5 dry botanical raw material for food systems and formulation applications
Lavender extract 1:5 dry is a concentrated botanical ingredient obtained from lavender flowers through extraction followed by drying and standardization. This format provides stability, extended shelf life and precise dosing in formulation systems. It is used across cosmetics, food production, nutraceutical products, pharmaceutical developments, SPA applications and industrial processes where a plant-derived component with a defined aromatic and functional profile is required.
From a technical standpoint, dry lavender extract is a concentrate of bioactive compounds including polyphenols and aromatic fractions preserved during processing. The 1:5 ratio indicates a high concentration of the original plant material within the extract, allowing efficient use in both low-dose and complex formulations. This format is particularly suitable for dry blends, aqueous solutions and hybrid systems where controlled dispersion is needed.
In food systems, lavender extract is used in flavor compositions, functional beverage bases and specialty confectionery blends. In nutraceutical formulations, it is incorporated into capsules, powdered complexes and botanical mixtures. In pharmaceutical development, it is applied as a plant-derived component in technical systems. In cosmetics, it is used in masks, serums, gels and cleansing formulations. In SPA applications, it is included in aromatic compositions and treatment systems. In fragrance and candle production, it may be used as a botanical source for scent distribution. In industrial applications, it is used in blends where stable plant-derived inputs are required.
Functionally, lavender extract distributes throughout the formulation and contributes to the active phase. In powder systems, it acts as a concentrated botanical component, while in aqueous systems it provides uniform dispersion when properly dissolved. It does not directly modify structural properties but contributes to the functional profile of the final formulation.
In formulation practice, the dry extract is introduced into the aqueous phase or pre-dispersed depending on the system design. It is compatible with humectants, hydrolates, polysaccharides, emulsifiers and other botanical ingredients. Pre-dissolution is recommended to ensure uniform distribution.
Usage level is defined by technical specifications and adjusted by the formulator depending on the application and target concentration.
Example formulation: Botanical calming serum system
Purified water 71 ml
Lavender extract 1:5 dry 3 g
Propanediol 5 g
Green tea hydrolate 10 ml
Trehalose 3 g
Sodium PCA 2 g
Preservative 1 g
pH adjuster 5 g
Process: the dry extract is pre-dissolved in a portion of water until a uniform solution is obtained. The main phase is prepared by combining purified water and green tea hydrolate. Propanediol, trehalose and sodium PCA are then added with continuous mixing. After temperature stabilization, the lavender extract solution is incorporated. Preservative is added and pH is adjusted. The system is mixed until uniform and filled.
Example formulation: Gel mask with botanical extract
Purified water 66 ml
Lavender extract 1:5 dry 3 g
Butylene glycol 5 g
Sclerotium gum 1 g
Cucumber extract 10 ml
Inulin 3 g
Preservative 1 g
pH adjuster 11 g
Process: sclerotium gum is dispersed in butylene glycol and introduced into water under mixing to form a gel structure. Lavender extract is pre-dissolved and added to the system. Cucumber extract and inulin are then incorporated. Preservative is introduced and pH is adjusted. The formulation is mixed until homogeneous and stabilized.
Lavender extract 1:5 dry is used as a concentrated botanical raw material across multiple industries. It supports formulation stability, accurate dosing and compatibility with a wide range of ingredients in both liquid and powder systems.
