Spirulina Extract Powder 30% Protein 1 kg for Professional Formulation
Spirulina Extract Powder with 30% protein is a powdered raw material for cosmetic and technical formulation development. The listed composition is Spirulina Extract and Maltodextrin. The 1 kg pack is intended for cosmetic manufacturers, formulation laboratories and production facilities requiring the ingredient for repeated batches, pilot production and scale-up.
Different forms and specifications of spirulina-based ingredients are available within the range. For this reason, formulators should consider the exact raw material specification rather than botanical origin alone. Spirulina Extract Powder 20% Protein 1 kg is a separate product with a different stated protein level. Different specifications should not automatically be treated as interchangeable when reproducing an established formula.
How the 30% Dry Extract Differs from Other Spirulina Forms
For professional formulation work, it is important to distinguish between a dry extract, spirulina powder and a liquid botanical extract. These materials can differ in composition, concentration, carrier, solubility and processing requirements.
The 30% protein extract has its own specification. When a laboratory formula has been developed with this material, maintaining the same raw material during scale-up helps preserve the established manufacturing process. Changing to another stated concentration should be treated as a raw material substitution and evaluated in the formula.
When a liquid botanical format is more appropriate for the formulation, Spirulina Extract 1 L is available as a separate product. The liquid extract should not be considered a direct replacement for the 30% dry extract.
Cosmetic Formulation Applications
Spirulina Extract Powder 30% Protein can be considered for creams and emulsions, cosmetic gels, serums, facial and body masks, scrubs, gommage products, body wraps, toners, micellar formulations, shampoos and dry cosmetic blends.
The powdered format supports different processing approaches. In water-containing products, the extract can be prepared through the aqueous phase. In masks, scrubs, body treatments and suitable dry blends, direct incorporation of the powder may be used when compatible with the formulation process.
The inherent color of the raw material should be considered when developing light emulsions and transparent gels. Its effect on the finished product should be evaluated in the complete test formula.
Solubility and Incorporation into the Aqueous Phase
According to the product characteristics, the dry Spirulina Extract dissolves readily in hot water. A barely visible sediment may remain after preparation.
For water-based systems, the powder can be dissolved or dispersed in the aqueous phase before further processing. The prepared system may be filtered when required by the formulation process.
Solubility in Polysorbate 80 is also listed for this ingredient. The final incorporation method should be selected according to the complete formulation because surfactants, emulsifiers, thickeners and other active ingredients can influence the behavior of the finished system.
Use Levels in Different Product Types
The general specified use range for the dry extract is 1-4%.
For sprays, emulsions and gels, the listed guidance is 1-1.5%. For ubtan and cosmetic milk, the range is 0.5-2%. For soap and beldi, approximately 1% is indicated. Masks, scrubs, gommage and body products use a listed range of 1-3%. For toners, micellar water and shampoos, the guidance is approximately 1.5%.
The final concentration should be selected according to the composition and intended format of the finished product. Before moving to a production batch, the selected use level should be evaluated in the working formulation.
Use in Hair Care Formulations
Spirulina Extract can be incorporated into shampoos, masks, conditioning products and other formulations for hair and scalp care.
When the extract is incorporated into shampoo, compatibility with the surfactant and thickening system should be evaluated. The finished test batch should be observed for uniformity, viscosity, color and possible sediment formation.
A different processing approach may be appropriate for masks and powdered products. Where the base is designed for direct addition of dry ingredients, the extract can be incorporated without preparing a separate solution.
1 kg Pack for Laboratory and Production Use
The 1 kg format serves a different practical purpose from small trial packs. It is suitable for repeated laboratory batches, pilot production, small manufacturing runs, contract manufacturing and scale-up of an established formulation.
When the same dry extract is used in several products within a cosmetic line, the kilogram format allows the manufacturer to work with one raw material specification across multiple production formulas.
Other powdered botanical ingredients supplied for manufacturing applications can be explored in Dry Extracts and Algae Wholesale. This category provides a broader path to related production-size materials while individual product links maintain the semantic relationship within the spirulina family.
Considerations During Scale-Up
Before moving from a laboratory sample to a larger batch, it is useful to maintain the extract concentration, preparation method, aqueous phase temperature, ingredient addition sequence and mixing conditions established during development.
Process consistency is particularly important in complex emulsions, shampoos and gel systems. Changes in water quantity, dispersion method or ingredient addition sequence may influence uniformity and the appearance of the finished product.
Changing from the 30% material to another Spirulina Extract concentration should therefore be treated as a change of raw material rather than simply a change of pack size.
Dry and Liquid Spirulina Formats
The dry extract is useful when the formulator needs to control dispersion and the amount of liquid introduced into the formula. It is also suitable for powdered masks and other dry cosmetic blends.
When a liquid botanical format is required, Spirulina Extract 100 ml provides a related product option. The liquid and dry materials are separate forms, so changing between them requires reassessment of the incorporation method and the liquid phase of the formula.
Other Application Areas
In addition to cosmetic applications, the product characteristics list food production, sports nutrition, pharmaceutical and veterinary fields.
Requirements for raw materials and finished products differ between these sectors. Suitability for a specific application should therefore be determined according to the product documentation, intended use and requirements applicable to the relevant field.
Storage
The dry extract should be stored in a tightly closed package in a cool dry place protected from light and moisture.
Caking may occur during storage. According to the product characteristics, this physical change does not affect the properties of the material. After weighing the required quantity, the package should be closed promptly.
FAQ
Are Spirulina Extract Powder 30% Protein and the 20% version the same product?
No. They are separate product specifications with different stated protein levels. When reproducing an established formula, the specification used during the original formulation work should be maintained.
Can liquid Spirulina Extract replace the 30% dry extract?
It should not be treated as a direct replacement. Dry and liquid forms have different processing characteristics, so the formulation should be reassessed after changing the raw material format.
Is Spirulina Extract Powder soluble in water?
Yes. According to the product characteristics, the extract dissolves readily in hot water. A barely visible sediment may remain.
What is the recommended use level in cosmetic formulations?
The general specified range is 1-4%. Narrower guidance is provided for individual types of finished products.
Can Spirulina Extract Powder be used in shampoo?
Yes. The listed guidance for shampoo is approximately 1.5%. Compatibility should be evaluated with the specific surfactant and thickening system.
What is the 1 kg pack intended for?
The 1 kg format is suitable for repeated laboratory batches, pilot production, formulation scale-up and regular manufacturing use.
