Product Description
Ingredients: Ficus Carica Fruit Powder, Purified Water
Summary
This pure, spray-dried Fig powder is rich in soluble polyphenols, fibre, calcium, potassium and manganese. Figs also contain vitamin B6 and amino acids, both of which are essential for optimal skin health.
Polyphenol antioxidants (Rutin, Anthocyanin), Amino Acids, Manganese, calcium, potassium, fibre and Vitamin B6.
Origin
Botanical (Fresh fruit)
Process
Produced by taking freshly squeezed Figs and spray drying them. Spray drying concentrates the antioxidants naturally present in the fruit juice. The process also stabilises the phytochemicals by drying off the water. Most Figs contain around 80% water when fresh so 20g of this Fig juice powder would provide the same antioxidant hit as you would get from a 100g of fresh Fig juice.
Appearance
Brown particulates. Free flowing when dehydrated
Odour
Mild, characteristic of Figs but not strong enough to be used as a major odour active.
Solubility
Water soluble.
pH of reconstituted powder
Around 4
Heat stability
Will tolerate heating for a short time but best to add into your formula once the temperature is below 50C as some of the polyphenols (brown colourants) will start to break down with excessive heat.
Use instructions
To create a re-constituted Fig juice mix 1 part Fig powder to 4 parts water (20% powder to 80% water). Add to your formula in the cool-down phase if possible and for best stability, maintain a product pH of below 5. Final product pH is a more important factor in polyphenol stability than heat treatment during manufacturing.
Typical use level
Between 1-20% on an ‘as supplied’ basis but can be used in higher quantities if required.
Examples of applications
- Figs are great for weight control which makes this extract perfect for sports-focused moisturisers, body products and washes. You can also add it to your massage creams and lotions.
- Fig is naturally sweet and the brown colourant works well in lip balms. Add a concentrated liquid to a balm by forming a water-in-oil emulsion using lecithin as your emulsifier.
- Rutin is great for circulation boosting and has benefits in allergy management. A great addition to an eye serum for puffy eyes or eye-bag management.
