Apricot Extract Powder 1 kg

Bulk Apricot Powder Extract for Consistent Manufacturing Batches

Apricot extract powder supplied in a 1 kg package belongs to the category of Powdered Extracts and Algae, and this larger volume clearly points to industrial-scale use rather than small trial batches. The powder is obtained from apricot flesh and kernels through gentle drying and milling, preserving a natural complex of organic acids, carotenoids, flavonoids and trace minerals typical of the fresh fruit. Worldwide, the strongest demand for such powdered fruit extracts comes from skincare and haircare manufacturers, followed closely by the food and pharmaceutical industries, where apricot derivatives are valued as a source of natural antioxidants and vitamins.

In cosmetic manufacturing, apricot extract powder is added to creams, emulsions, serums, toners, masks and hair care formulas during the water phase, at a temperature not exceeding 40-45 degrees Celsius to avoid degrading heat-sensitive compounds. Typical industrial dosage ranges from 0.3 to 2 percent of the total formula weight, with the exact concentration adjusted by the formulator depending on the desired texture and claimed benefit. The powder disperses well in water and water-glycerin systems, so it is usually pre-dissolved in a small amount of warm water or hydrosol before being blended into the main emulsion, which prevents clumping and ensures even distribution throughout large production volumes - a key factor for manufacturers running consistent batch-to-batch formulas.

Beyond skin care, apricot powder extract is widely used in shampoo and conditioner formulations, contributing to a softer feel of hair and supporting the antioxidant stability of the finished product. In the food industry, similar powdered fruit extracts serve as ingredients in functional additive blends and flavoring mixtures, while the dietary supplement sector values them for their concentration of natural acids and micronutrients. Decorative cosmetics represent another application, where the extract is introduced to soften formulas and boost consumer appeal through a naturally derived ingredient.

Apricot extract powder combines readily with other botanical powders in complex formulations. It is frequently paired with Melilot Extract Powder, which contributes a toning character to the blend, and with Wheat Extract Powder, rich in proteins and polysaccharides that reinforce the nourishing profile of the final product. For laboratory trials before committing to a full production run, a smaller pack is available - Apricot Extract Powder 10 g, allowing formulators to test a recipe without drawing from the main kilogram supply.

The powder should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, since it is hygroscopic and may clump under humid conditions. When storage guidelines are followed, the extract retains its properties over an extended period, which matters for facilities planning purchases across several production cycles.

Distilled water 550 ml

Apricot extract powder 7 g

Cetearyl alcohol emulsifier 35 g

Apricot kernel oil 50 g

Glycerin 20 g

Combine the emulsifier and apricot kernel oil and heat gently to around 70 degrees Celsius until fully melted. Warm the water and glycerin separately to the same temperature, then slowly pour into the oil phase while stirring continuously until a stable lotion forms. Once the mixture cools to about 40 degrees, blend in the apricot extract powder pre-dissolved in a small amount of warm water along with the preservative, stir until smooth, and transfer into clean bottles for storage.
