Question
When using dark colored extracts like Onion Extract, Pycnogenol / Pine Bark Extract, and Grape Seed Extract in a formula, the formula becomes dark. Does this dark color affect skin color?
Answer
Subject: Dark colored extracts and their effect on skin color
Regarding dark colored extracts such as Onion Extract (สารสกัดหัวหอม), Pycnogenol / Pine Bark Extract (สารสกัดเปลือกสน), and Grape Seed Extract (สารสกัดเมล็ดองุ่น), it is true that using these in large quantities can result in a dark colored formula.
However, when a dark colored formula is applied to the skin, the dark color may make the applied area appear temporarily darker. This effect is only temporary and washes off. It does not cause permanent darkening of the skin color.
