Eucalyptus Extract Powder 5 g

Eucalyptus Dry Extract water soluble botanical powder for concentrated cosmetic and cleansing systems

Eucalyptus Dry Extract is a powdered plant derived ingredient obtained from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus and used as a concentrated active in water based formulations. INCI Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract. Removal of moisture during production allows high loading of botanical compounds while maintaining convenient handling and precise dosing in formulation development.

What it is and where it is used

Eucalyptus Dry Extract is used in formulations where a concentrated botanical component is required without diluting the system with additional liquid. It is commonly incorporated into toners cleansing gels shampoos scalp care products and aqueous serums.

The ingredient is selected in systems where it is important to maintain formulation viscosity and structure while introducing plant derived actives. In cleansing products it contributes to a fresh sensory profile. In manufacturing it is used to standardize botanical input across batches.

How it works

Eucalyptus Dry Extract dissolves in water and distributes uniformly across the aqueous phase. The extract components interact with the formulation matrix rather than altering its structure.

It acts as a functional additive within the water phase supporting consistent performance. The overall effect is defined by concentration and compatibility with other ingredients in the system.

Properties

Eucalyptus Dry Extract is fully water soluble and forms clear to slightly tinted solutions depending on concentration. It provides a high density of botanical material in a compact format.

The ingredient is compatible with surfactants humectants and polymer thickeners. It does not interfere with emulsification when used within recommended levels.

Applications across industries

In cosmetics it is used in facial cleansers toners shampoos and scalp products. In skin care it is included in water based formulations requiring plant derived actives.

In hair care it is applied in cleansing and scalp focused systems. In spa products it is used in gels and aqueous solutions. In cleansing product development it functions as a botanical additive for water based systems.

Behavior in formulation

Eucalyptus Dry Extract is incorporated into the aqueous phase and dissolves completely when properly dispersed. It does not remain as particles and does not create sediment.

At higher concentrations it may influence color intensity and slight opacity. It remains stable in systems with balanced pH and appropriate preservative systems.

How to use

The powder should be pre dissolved in a small portion of water before addition to the main batch. This ensures full hydration and prevents clumping.

It is recommended to add during the cooling phase or at ambient temperature to preserve extract integrity.

Recommended usage level

Typical usage ranges from 0.1 percent to 2 percent depending on extract strength and formulation goals.

Lower levels are used for mild incorporation while higher levels provide more pronounced presence within the system.

Formulation example

Mild cleansing gel with botanical component

Purified Water — 800 ml
Glycerin — 50 ml
Cocamidopropyl Betaine — 70 ml
Decyl Glucoside — 40 ml
Eucalyptus Dry Extract — 6 g
Panthenol — 10 ml
Allantoin — 3 g
Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin — 5 ml
Fresh Herbal Fragrance Oil — 3 ml

Processing

Glycerin is mixed with water followed by addition of surfactants Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Decyl Glucoside with gentle stirring.

Eucalyptus Dry Extract is pre dissolved separately and then introduced into the main batch. Panthenol and Allantoin are added next.

Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin and Fresh Herbal Fragrance Oil are incorporated at the final stage. The mixture is stirred until fully uniform.

Important considerations

Eucalyptus Dry Extract is a concentrated material and requires accurate dosing for consistent results.

Formulation clarity and color may vary depending on concentration. Proper dispersion and addition at low temperature help maintain stability and performance.
