Kigelia Hydroglycerite Extract

This hydroglycerite format makes Kigelia Extract easy to incorporate into water-based cosmetic formulations such as facial serums, toners, gels, creams, lotions and body care products. Similar kigelia cosmetic extracts are described by suppliers as water-soluble and suitable for skincare applications, including products for sensitive or irritated-looking skin.

Kigelia is valued in cosmetic formulations for its naturally occurring flavonoids and other botanical constituents. Formulator Sample Shop notes that its Kigelia Extract G PF is used in skincare applications as an antioxidant and firming ingredient, while other supplier data describes kigelia extracts as purifying, soothing and supportive in skincare formulations.

Use Kigelia Hydroglycerite Extract in leave-on skincare where a botanical active with a natural, plant-based profile is desired. It is well suited to facial care, mature-skin formulations, body-firming products, bust-care cosmetics, gels, lotions and botanical serums. As with all cosmetic raw materials, finished products must be properly formulated, preserved and tested for stability and suitability.

Usage Information

Add Kigelia Hydroglycerite Extract to water-based formulations such as facial toners, hydrating gels, botanical serums, lotions, creams and body care products. It is especially useful in products aimed at skin-conditioning, toning, mature skin care, botanical facial care and body-firming cosmetic applications.

Ensure the final product is properly preserved and that the pH, compatibility and stability of the finished product are tested.

For small-scale DIY formulation, begin with a low usage level and evaluate the skin feel, colour, scent and compatibility in the final formula. Always patch test finished products before wider use.
