Description and Key Features
Our Albumin is derived from pure, natural egg whites, meticulously processed to retain its inherent biological activity and functional properties. As a 100% protein source, it offers a wealth of amino acids, making it a highly sought-after ingredient for its binding, emulsifying, foaming, and film-forming capabilities. Its fine, powdered form ensures ease of use and precise incorporation into a wide variety of formulations. The natural color, ranging from white to yellowish, is characteristic of its pure egg white origin. As a versatile and high-quality ingredient, our Albumin is designed to meet the rigorous demands of various applications worldwide.
Versatile Applications and Usage Areas
The unique properties of Albumin make it an incredibly versatile ingredient with a wide spectrum of applications across several industries:
In Cosmetics:
Albumin is a prized ingredient in facial cosmetics due to its immediate and visible effects on the skin, particularly for its tightening and lifting properties:
- Facial Masks:
- Instant Lifting and Firming: Albumin is best known for its ability to create a temporary tightening effect on the skin. When applied in a mask, it forms a thin film that visibly lifts and firms the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This makes it ideal for "pre-event" masks or as a regular treatment for mature skin.
- Pore Minimization: The tightening action can also temporarily minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, leading to a smoother, more refined complexion.
- Oil Absorption: Its protein structure can help absorb excess oil from the skin's surface, beneficial for oily or combination skin types.
- Ubtans (Traditional Indian Facial Cleansers/Masks): Albumin can be a powerful addition to ubtan formulations, enhancing their cleansing, exfoliating, and skin-tightening properties. It contributes to a deep cleanse while providing a firming sensation.
- Anti-Aging Serums and Creams (though less common for direct "tightening"): While primarily used in rinse-off masks, research into its protein content suggests potential for inclusion in some leave-on products for its nourishing and film-forming benefits, creating a smooth feel. However, its primary cosmetic appeal lies in its immediate physical tightening.
In Food Industry:
Albumin is a staple in food processing due to its excellent functional properties:
- Emulsifying Agent: Helps to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, essential in products like mayonnaise, salad dressings, and certain sauces, preventing separation.
- Foaming Agent: Its ability to whip into stable foams makes it indispensable in meringues, mousses, soufflés, and confectioneries, providing aeration and light texture.
- Binding Agent: Acts as a natural binder in processed meats, baked goods, and pasta, improving texture and structural integrity.
- Clarifying Agent: Used in the clarification of wines, beers, and fruit juices by binding to suspended particles, leading to a clearer final product.
- Texturizer: Contributes to desired texture in a variety of food products.
In Dietary Supplements (BADs/VADs), Sports Nutrition, and Dietary Food Additives:
Albumin is a valuable source of high-quality protein, crucial for health and fitness:
- Protein Supplementation: As a complete protein, it provides all essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, growth, and overall bodily functions.
- Sports Nutrition: Popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts for post-workout recovery, muscle building, and satiety, often found in protein powders and bars.
- Dietary Additive: Can be incorporated into various dietary foods to boost protein content, supporting weight management, satiety, and meeting daily protein requirements, especially for those with specific dietary needs.
Our Albumin is a testament to the power of natural ingredients, offering multifaceted benefits across a broad spectrum of applications, with convenient worldwide shipping.

Albumin (Powder)
|
1 teaspoon (approx. 3-4g)

Primary firming, lifting, and pore-minimizing agent
|
Distilled Water or Rose Hydrosol
|
2-3 teaspoons
|
Liquid base to activate Albumin
|
Honey (liquid, natural)
|
1/2 teaspoon
|
Humectant, moisturizing, soothing (optional)

Activated Charcoal Powder
|
1/4 teaspoon

Instructions for Preparation:
- Preparation: Ensure all your utensils (bowl, spoon) are clean and dry.
- Combine Albumin and Liquid: In a small, clean bowl, place the Albumin powder. Gradually add the distilled water or rose hydrosol, starting with 2 teaspoons.
- Mix to a Smooth Paste: Stir vigorously with a spoon until a smooth, lump-free paste is formed. The consistency should be thick enough to apply but spreadable. If too thick, add a tiny bit more liquid; if too thin, add a tiny bit more Albumin.
- Add Optional Ingredients: If using, stir in the honey and/or activated charcoal powder until well incorporated. Honey adds moisture and soothing properties, while charcoal is great for detoxification and oily skin.
- Immediate Use: This mask should be used immediately after preparation as it will start to set.
Recommendations for Application and Use:
- Skin Preparation: Cleanse your face thoroughly before applying the mask.
- Application: Using clean fingertips or a soft brush, apply an even, thin layer of the mask to your face and neck, avoiding the eye and lip areas. You will feel a tightening sensation as the mask dries.
- Drying Time: Allow the mask to dry completely, which usually takes 10-15 minutes. Avoid talking or making extensive facial expressions during this time to allow the mask to set properly and maximize the firming effect.
- Removal: Once completely dry, gently rinse the mask off with lukewarm water, using soft circular motions to loosen it. Pat your skin dry.
- Post-Mask Care: Follow with your preferred serum and moisturizer to hydrate and nourish your skin.
- Frequency: Use this mask 1-2 times per week for an instant lifting and firming boost.
- Storage of Albumin: Store the remaining Albumin powder in its original airtight packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its quality and prevent moisture absorption.
- Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of your skin (e.g., behind the ear or on the inner arm) before applying the mask to your entire face, especially if you have sensitive skin or known egg allergies.
- Allergy Warning: This product is derived from egg white. Individuals with egg allergies should not use this product.
