Origin
Botanical (Fresh fruit)
Process
Produced by taking freshly squeezed Kiwi and spray drying them. Spray drying concentrates the antioxidants naturally present in the fruit juice. The process also stabilises the phytochemicals by drying off the water. Most Kiwi fruit contain around 80% water when fresh so 20g of this Kiwi juice powder would provide the same antioxidant hit as you would get from a 100g of fresh Kiwi juice.
Appearance
Light Green particulates. Free flowing when dehydrated
Odour
Mild, characteristic of Kiwi but not strong enough to be used as a major odour active.
Solubility
Water soluble.
pH of reconstituted powder
Approx 4
Heat stability
Will tolerate heating for a short time but best to add into your formula once the temperature is below 50C as some of the will start to break down with excessive heat.
Use instructions
To create a re-constituted Kiwi juice mix 1 part Kiwi powder to 4 parts water (20% powder to 80% water). Add to your formula in the cool-down phase if possible and for best stability, maintain a product pH of below 5. Final product pH is a more important factor in polyphenol stability than heat treatment during manufacturing.
Typical use level
Between 1-20% on an ‘as supplied’ basis but can be used in higher quantities if required.
Examples of applications
Fresh, bright Kiwi fruit is perfect for young skins as the quercetin concentration reduces the irritation potential of your cleansing formulations. Add a splash of juice to their body wash, shampoo and bubble bath for some fruity, cleansing fun!
Kiwi powder is a low-allergy option for those looking for fruit-based skincare but have skin sensitivities. Add into a moisturiser or serum for an antioxidant boost.
