Saw Palmetto Liquid Extract

Recommended Concentration:

Solubility:

Saw palmetto liquid extract is oil-soluble. If you’re incorporating it into a water-based product, use a solubilizer or emulsifier to blend it smoothly into your formula.

pH Range:

Saw palmetto extract is stable in a pH range of 4.5 to 7, which is suitable for most skin and haircare formulations.

Temperature Sensitivity:

As an oil-based extract, saw palmetto is relatively stable under heat. However, it’s still a good idea to add it during the cool-down phase (below 40°C) to preserve its active properties.

Compatibility:

Saw palmetto extract works well with other botanical extracts, vitamins, and essential oils.

It can be combined with ingredients like jojoba oil, argan oil, and tea tree oil for scalp treatments or added to moisturizers and serums aimed at reducing the appearance of fine lines.

Applications:

Haircare Products: Saw palmetto extract is most commonly used in shampoos, conditioners, serums, and scalp treatments to help combat hair thinning and support healthy hair growth. It is believed to inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT (a hormone linked to hair loss).

Skincare Products: It can be included in anti-aging creams, serums, or lotions, where its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help reduce the appearance of fine lines and promote healthy skin.

Body Care Products: Use in body lotions or creams for its moisturizing and soothing benefits.
