Pumpkin Liquid Extract

Pumpkin Liquid Extract

Recommended Concentration:

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

Solubility:

Pumpkin extract is water-soluble and should be added to the water phase of your formulation.

If you're using an oil-based extract, you will need an emulsifier to incorporate it into water-based products effectively.

pH Range:

Pumpkin extract is generally stable in a pH range of 4.5 to 6.5, which is suitable for most skincare products. However, always check the pH of your final formulation to ensure stability and compatibility.

Temperature Sensitivity:

Add pumpkin extract during the cool-down phase of your formulation (below 40°C) to preserve its bioactive compounds, including enzymes and vitamins, which can be sensitive to high heat.

Compatibility:

Works well with other nourishing and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera.

Can be paired with exfoliating acids like AHA or BHA for enhanced exfoliation, or combined with antioxidants like vitamin C or green tea extract.

Be cautious when combining with very acidic ingredients as this may lower the pH excessively, making the extract less effective.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Pumpkin extract is excellent in moisturizers, serums, masks, and exfoliating products. It helps in gentle exfoliation, skin renewal, and promoting a radiant complexion.

Body Care Products: Ideal for use in body scrubs, body butters, and lotions to deeply hydrate and smooth the skin.

Haircare Products: Can be used in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks to nourish the scalp and provide shine to the hair.
