Product Description
Alfalfa Extract Powder Medicago sativa botanical ingredient for cosmetic and functional formulations
Alfalfa Extract Powder is a botanical ingredient obtained from leaves and stems of Medicago sativa through aqueous or hydro glycol extraction followed by drying of the extract. The material appears as a fine powder with light green to green beige coloration and characteristic herbal aroma.
Powder format allows convenient storage and accurate dosing during formulation development. The extract disperses well in water and water glycol systems which enables easy incorporation into aqueous cosmetic formulations.
The ingredient is compatible with gel systems, emulsions and dry cosmetic blends. Due to botanical origin and formulation versatility the extract is widely used in natural cosmetic products and functional skincare formulations.
Properties and skin appearance
In cosmetic formulations the powder distributes evenly within the aqueous phase and maintains stable product texture. Finished formulations demonstrate smooth consistency and lightweight sensory profile.
Products spread evenly across the skin surface and maintain clean cosmetic finish.
Industry applications
Alfalfa Extract Powder is used in facial serums, creams, gel masks, lotions and other skincare formulations. The ingredient is incorporated into natural cosmetic lines, spa products and botanical skincare systems.
The powder extract is also used in dry cosmetic blends, powder masks and botanical cosmetic formulations. The material is widely used in formulation laboratories, private label development and contract manufacturing.
