WHY WE PRODUCE A WATER-DISPERSIBLE BLACK PEPPER FRUIT EXTRACT?
The key pungent principle in black pepper, piperine, is practically hydrophobic—its aqueous solubility is only 40 mg/L at 18 °C. Cosmetic formulators repeatedly asked us for an ingredient that dissolves instantly in water and has an almost ivory hue so it can be blended into light-colored emulsions without darkening the final product.
OUR WATER-DISPERSIBLE BLACK PEPPER FRUIT EXTRACT – WHAT SETS IT APART?
- Dissolves crystal-clear: no haze, no sediment.
- Off-white micro-fine powder that will not tint your finished cosmetic.
- Virtually solvent-free, total heavy metals <10 ppm, micro count within pharmacopoeial limits—safe for premium skin-care applications.
