Extracts in oil (such as our Seaweed extract) can be used in oil based products such as massage oil, simply by adding and stirring. This simple method adds the therapeutic properties of ingredients that are often very hard to combine into oil based products such as Seaweed.

We use Dipropylene glycol (DPG) to extract some of the more difficult to extract plant substances as it is excellent at extracting their properties. These extracts are miscible in water (making them perfect in the formulation of Shower Gels, Face Washes, Shampoos and Bath Foams) whilst also be soluble in some vegetable based.

Adding Dipropylene glycol based plant extracts to your formulation is done during the formulation or added after being produced. Simple stirring in water based products will easily add the extract to your formulation.

If you are producing a formulation from raw ingredients, then adding the extract into the water stage will make dispersion easy throughout your product.

Extracts in Glycerin are super easy to add to water based products. For example for addition to a facial toner or spritz.

Simply add the glycerin based extract directly to the water component and mix throughly. The Glycerin will disperse throughout the water and add the beneficial properties to the water. These types of extracts are exceptionally useful at adding the properties of products that would be typically impossible to add to a water based product, for example Argan extract.

The above video shows how easy it is to combine the plant extract to the cosmetic base to create your own plant based skincare. In the example above we use our Face Wash base, but the method is the same for all of our Cosmetic bases.

The above video shows how easy it is to stir the Plant extract into the cosmetic base. In this example we used our Face Wash base, but all of our bases are just as easy to produce your own Plant based skincare.
