Incorporating Extracts into Formulations

Regarding your request to combine Plumeria flower extract and Religiosa extract in a formulation:

We found information on Plumeria Alba (Frangipani) Flower Extract. Based on the product description, this extract is primarily intended for use as a natural scent in cosmetic formulas and for marketing purposes. There is no research available regarding its effectiveness on the skin.

Key properties and usage guidelines for Plumeria Alba (Frangipani) Flower Extract:

• Usage Rate: 0.5% to 5%
• Mixing Method: It is water-soluble and should be mixed into the water phase of your formulation.
• pH Compatibility: Works best in formulas with a pH between 3.5 and 7.

Regarding Religiosa extract, we could not find a specific product with this name in our database. Therefore, we do not have information on its properties, recommended usage, or compatibility.

Formulation Considerations (especially for balms):

Balms are typically oil-based or anhydrous (water-free). Since the Plumeria Alba (Frangipani) Flower Extract is water-soluble, incorporating it into an oil-based balm requires careful formulation. You would likely need to include a small water phase and an emulsifier to properly disperse the extract within the balm structure and maintain stability.

Without information on the specific type and properties of the Religiosa extract you intend to use, it is difficult to provide guidance on how to incorporate it effectively and safely into your formulation.

If you have more details about the Religiosa extract (e.g., is it oil-based, water-based, a powder?), we might be able to offer more specific advice.
