Description and Key Characteristics

Kiwi Oil Extract (INCI: Kiwi oleum extractum) is a concentrated lipid extract derived from the seeds of the kiwi fruit (Actinidia deliciosa). This fruit is renowned globally for its impressive nutritional profile and high antioxidant content. As a 100% natural product sourced from plant raw materials, our extract delivers the full spectrum of beneficial compounds that make kiwi a powerhouse of health and beauty.

Key features and benefits:

• Rich in Nutrients: Abundant in essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6), vitamins (especially Vitamin C and E), antioxidants, and phytosterols. This comprehensive composition provides a multi-faceted approach to skin and overall health.

• Powerful Antioxidant Protection: High concentrations of Vitamin C and E, along with other antioxidants, effectively combat free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative damage and helping to slow down the aging process.

• Intense Moisturization and Nourishment: The rich fatty acid profile deeply moisturizes, nourishes, and softens the skin, reinforcing its natural barrier and preventing moisture loss.

• Promotes Skin Regeneration: Aids in the natural regeneration process of skin cells, supporting healing and maintaining skin vitality.

• Enhances Skin Elasticity: Contributes to improved skin firmness and elasticity, leading to a more supple and youthful appearance.

• Brightens Skin Tone: The presence of Vitamin C helps to brighten the complexion, reduce hyperpigmentation, and promote a more even skin tone.

• Superior Quality: Produced in France, ensuring adherence to rigorous quality control standards and European manufacturing excellence.

• Gentle Extraction Method: The careful oil extraction process at controlled temperatures guarantees that the valuable heat-sensitive components of the kiwi are preserved.

The recommended percentage of input is 0.05-5% in the active phase. It is crucial not to heat the extract above 40°C during formulation to preserve its heat-sensitive active compounds. Its oil-soluble nature ensures effortless integration into oil-based products and the oil phase of emulsions.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Kiwi Glow" Rejuvenating Facial Serum

Create a lightweight yet powerful facial serum that deeply nourishes, brightens, and revitalizes your skin, harnessing the benefits of Kiwi Oil Extract.

Instructions for Preparing the "Kiwi Glow" Serum:

1. Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment, utensils, and the serum bottle using isopropyl alcohol. Allow them to air dry completely.

2. Combine Oil Phase (A): In a clean, heat-resistant beaker, measure and combine Jojoba Oil and Squalane.

3. Gentle Heating (Optional, if needed for blending): If your environment is cold or if any oils are solid, you may gently warm Phase A in a water bath to no more than 40°C to ensure they are fully liquid and blend easily. Once blended, remove from heat immediately.

4. Cooling: Allow Phase A to cool down to below 40°C. This is a crucial step to preserve the integrity of the heat-sensitive active ingredients.

5. Add Active Phase (B): Once Phase A is below 40°C, add the Kiwi Oil Extract, Vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10, and your chosen essential oil blend.

6. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.

7. Bottle and Store: Carefully pour the finished serum into your sanitized dropper bottle.

Recommendations for Application:

• Input Percentage: This recipe uses 5% Kiwi Oil Extract, which is the maximum recommended concentration for a potent effect. You can adjust it between 0.05-5% based on your desired intensity.

• Temperature Sensitivity: It is paramount to add the Kiwi Oil Extract only when the oil blend has cooled to below 40°C. Heating it above this temperature can degrade its valuable heat-sensitive compounds, such as vitamins and fatty acids.

• Oil-Solubility: As an oil-soluble extract, it seamlessly integrates into oil-based serums, balms, and the oil phase of emulsions.

• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its stability and efficacy. Using an amber or dark glass bottle will further protect the product from light degradation. The natural antioxidant (R.O.E. and Vitamin E) will help extend shelf life, typically 6-12 months.

• Usage: Apply 2-4 drops of the serum to clean, slightly damp skin (after cleansing and toning) in the morning and evening. Gently massage into your face and neck until absorbed. Follow with your preferred moisturizer if desired.

• Skin Types: This serum is suitable for most skin types, particularly beneficial for dull, mature, dry, or normal skin seeking nourishment and radiance.

• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of your skin (e.g., inner forearm) before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies.
