Ivy Extract Powder 1 kg

Bulk Ivy Powder Concentrate for Body Care and Anti-Cellulite Formulations

Ivy extract powder is produced from the leaves and shoots of the plant through gentle drying followed by extraction, which preserves a high concentration of saponins and bioflavonoids. The 1 kg packaging is designed for production volumes and suits laboratories, contract cosmetic manufacturers, and companies producing creams, gels, and serums in serial batches. This ingredient belongs to the category of Powdered Extracts and Algae, which brings together plant concentrates for active formulations across different industries.

The primary application of ivy extract powder lies in anti-cellulite and firming body care, where its ability to stimulate microcirculation and support skin tone is highly valued. The ingredient is also in demand for scalp care products and anti-hair-loss formulations, since ivy has traditionally been used to strengthen hair follicles. In the pharmaceutical sector, ivy is well known as a raw material for cough syrups and herbal preparations supporting respiratory function, which extends demand for the powdered concentrate well beyond cosmetics. Another growing segment is functional beverages and dietary supplements, where the powder form allows precise dosing into capsules and tablets.

From a technological standpoint, ivy extract is introduced into a water phase that is cold or slightly warmed to 35-40 degrees, at a stage when the main emulsion has already formed, since higher temperatures degrade part of the active saponins. Recommended dosage in cosmetic formulations ranges from 0.5 to 2 percent, while in pharmaceutical forms the amount is determined separately based on the target concentration of active compounds. The powder dissolves readily with stirring and requires no pre-swelling, which simplifies handling on automated dosing lines in conveyor production.

Ivy extract powder pairs well with other plant concentrates, allowing manufacturers to build complex formulas with targeted action. For formulations focused on strengthening skin and capillary walls, it is often combined with oak bark extract powder, known for its astringent and toning properties, while nourishing and restorative blends benefit from wheat extract powder, which softens and hydrates the skin. For small trial batches and formulation testing, a more compact package such as Ivy Extract Powder 100 g allows manufacturers to confirm the right concentration before scaling up to a full kilogram batch.

The powder should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, which helps preserve the extract's activity throughout its stated shelf life. Once opened, transferring the remaining powder to a tightly sealed container is recommended to prevent moisture ingress that could cause clumping and reduce biological activity.
