Formulation parameters for manufacturers
Recommended usage level is 0.05-1 %. In toners and micellar waters the range is 0.05-0.07 %, in brightening serums 0.5-1 %. It dissolves in polysorbate-80, oils and triglycerides and is added below 40 °C. Stability remains high across a wide temperature range during processing.
Integration into dietary supplements and food products
Supplement and confectionery manufacturers worldwide source the extract as a botanical raw material for functional drinks, bars and blends. Extracts Wholesale lots support both pilot and full-scale production where plant-based ingredients are required for clean-label formulations.
Body care formulation example
A sample body lotion contains 68 % water, 6 % emulsifier, 20 % caprylic/capric triglyceride, 0.8 % CO2 Grain Mix, 0.5 % fragrance and 0.7 % preservative. Heat water and oil phases to 70 °C, combine, cool and add the extract at 35 °C. The finished lotion leaves skin comfortable and non-greasy while supporting daily body routines.
Additional compatibility notes
The extract performs well in emulsions and does not cloud clear toners at low percentages. Cosmetic producers frequently test it in circulation-focused programs where it contributes to pleasant skin feel. CO2 Grain Mix 5 g serves as an ideal trial size before committing to bulk orders.
Storage guidelines
Store in a cool dark place in a tightly closed container until October 2028. Periodic gentle agitation before use maintains homogeneity of the batch.
