Cyperus rotundus powder contains polyphenols and aromatic constituents that can provide a pleasant feel with purifying and deodorizing support, especially in rinse-off formats. It disperses easily in dry blends and can be added at low levels to emulsions to subtly enhance overall sensory. It can also be extracted into Aqua, glycols, or a light hydroalcoholic mixture for use in toners and gels. Use sparingly to manage natural color/odor, and perform a patch test on sensitive skin.

Benefits:

●       Light shine control for oily/combination skin

●       Gentle tightening feel that supports improved pore appearance

●       Purifying and odor-reducing support in rinse-off products

●       Mild antioxidant support from natural polyphenols

●       Adds a warm, natural tint in powder formats

●       Plant-derived and suitable for minimalist formulas

How to use:

●       Emulsions (cream/lotion): disperse as a fine powder in a little glycerin or propanediol; add in cool-down with mixing, and fine-filter if needed to avoid grittiness.

●       Toner/gel (as an extract): prepare a filtered Aqua/glycol or light hydroalcoholic extract and preserve appropriately.

●       Safety: patch test on sensitive skin.
