Product Details
Standardization: 10:1 Extract
Lavender Liquid Extract – Standardized is a liquid blend of Lavender Extract and Propanediol produced through a unique manufacturing technology.
The Lavender plant is known for its unique skin-soothing and rejuvenating properties, helping the skin to remain optimally balanced and hydrated. The extract, sourced from the entire plant including the flower buds, has the benefit of being even milder than its essential oil while offering the same gentle calming benefits. Lavender is known to be useful for skin that is damaged, dry, or excessively oily, and is generally suited for all skin types. This liquid extract is ideal for a wide range of soothing products, such as creams, lotions, sun-care, and bath products.
With a plant-based origin, Propanediol is a biodegradable and petrochemical-free solvent that is NPA approved, making it an excellent corn sugar-derived alternative to petroleum-based Glycols for hair- and skincare formulations. It offers benefits and functionalities that include improved emollience, enhanced viscosity, non-irritating properties, exceptional sensory characteristics, clarity, and anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, among many more.
The characteristic color of this botanical extract imbues natural cosmetic formulations with its innate hue. This means that the product colors that were formerly possible to obtain only through the use of artificial and often objectionable constituents can now be achieved through plant-based ingredients that impart not only their beneficial, skin health-enhancing properties but also their individual natural colors. It is strongly recommended that small batch trials be conducted to determine the dosage required to achieve the desired shade imbued by the extract.
The original color of Lavender Liquid Extract – Standardized is Orange Brown to Dark Orange Brown; however, there is a possibility of this color changing, depending on the formulation to which it is added.
