1 kg Spinach [4:1] Extract - Fruit & Herbal Powder Extracts

Product number: EXTR1KSPINCH4
AU$126.50

Product Description


Ingredients: Spinacia Oleracea Leaf Extract

 

Spinach is a great source of vitamins and minerals and as such this extract is a useful addition to any active skin care.  The leaf extract is highly water soluble but we do recommend mixing up a stock solution and then filtering that prior to adding the spinach 'juice' to your formula.  A stock solution is made by simply adding a proportion of the powdered extracts to water, dissolving it as best as possible then filtering that.  The resulting fluid can then be used as your water phase or you can use a proportion of it.

This extract is 4:1 strength which means it is 4 times stronger than fresh spinach juice.

Vitamins found in Spinach include:

Vitamin A

Vitamin C

Minerals include:

Calcium

Iron

The extract also contains a proportion of soluble fiber which can work as a humectant in skin and hair care, helping to bind moisture.

Typically people will use between 0.5-5% of powdered extract in their product which translates to spinach juice of 100% strength down to 10% strength. 

When making a stock solution it is typical for a more concentrated solution to be made and then preserved to be dosed in at lower levels across different formulations.  You could make a stock solution by taking  20%of spinach powder and mixing it with 80% of water and preserative to make a 500 x strength solution.  Every 1% of that you pop into your formula would contain equivalent of 5% strength fresh spinach juice.

Uses:  Can be used in hair or skin care to boost vitamin and mineral concentration, for natural claims and food-inspired beauty brands.

Stability:  The extract is relatively heat stable under normal cosmetic processing conditions.

Solubility: Water

Odour: Slightly irony/ plant-like. Not overly aromatic but does have a slight aroma.

Colour: This is a light green to brownish powder that may impart a bit of colour into a cream base depending on dose used.

Please Note: These products are for cosmetic use only and not to be consumed.
