Cucumber Liquid Extract

Cucumber Liquid Extract

Recommended Concentration:

Cucumber extract is typically used at 1% to 10% in formulations:

Solubility:

Cucumber liquid extract is water-soluble, so it should be added to the water phase of your formulation.

pH Range:

Cucumber extract is stable in a pH range of 4.5 to 6.5, which is compatible with most skincare products.

Always check the pH of your final formulation to ensure it remains within this range for optimal stability and performance.

Temperature Sensitivity:

Cucumber extract is sensitive to high temperatures, so it’s best to add it during the cool-down phase of your formulation (below 40°C) to preserve its active compounds.

Compatibility:

Works well with other hydrating and soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, aloe vera, and rose water.

Can be combined with vitamin C and green tea extract for added antioxidant protection, or with peptides for anti-aging products.

Be mindful of combining cucumber extract with highly acidic ingredients in large quantities, as this may lower the pH and reduce the extract’s effectiveness.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Cucumber extract is commonly used in moisturizers, toners, serums, masks, and eye creams due to its cooling, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s perfect for calming irritated or sunburned skin.

Haircare Products: Can be added to shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks to hydrate the scalp and hair, especially in formulations for dry or damaged hair.

Body Care Products: Works well in body lotions, body sprays, and after-sun care products to refresh, hydrate, and soothe the skin.
