Skin Glow Herbal Extract Blend is a liquid herbal extract designed to be mixed into skincare formulations to help improve skin texture, tone and overall appearance. It combines well-known botanicals like turmeric, orange, lemon, liquorice, papaya, manjistha, cucumber, fenugreek, red sandal and carrot seed, and is meant for external use in creams, lotions, oils and serums rather than on its own.
What is Skin Glow Herbal Extract Blend?
This is a plant-based cosmetic extract from Azlok, made in India. It comes as a liquid with a characteristic herbal odour and is available in both oil-soluble and water-soluble grades, so you can pick the version that suits your base. The blend draws on ingredients traditionally used in Indian skincare — think turmeric and manjistha for brightness, cucumber and liquorice for a soothing, cooling feel, and papaya for a fresh, even look.
The extract is prized for its cooling and anti-inflammatory character, which can help calm minor skin irritation while supporting a smoother, more supple finish. It is designed to add moisture without a heavy, greasy after-feel.
Common uses
- Face and body creams: Add a small percentage to your lotion or cream base for a brightening, hydrating boost.
- Facial serums and oils: Blend into a carrier oil (jojoba, almond, grapeseed) for a lightweight glow serum.
- Soap making: Include in melt-and-pour or cold-process recipes for herbal-themed bars.
- Face packs and masks: Stir into clay or gel masks for a fresh, cooling treatment.
- Small-batch cosmetic brands: Bulk packs (up to 10 Kg) make it practical for product lines.
How to use it
Because this is a concentrated extract meant for formulation, always add it to a base rather than applying it neat. A few pointers:
- Choose the right grade. Use the water-soluble version for gels, toners and water-based creams; use the oil-soluble version for facial oils, balms and oil-rich creams.
- Start low. Begin with a small addition — around 1–3% of your total recipe — and adjust based on feel, colour and fragrance.
- Add at the right stage. Blend it into the cool-down phase of a cream or into your finished oil, mixing thoroughly for an even distribution.
- Patch test the final product. Apply a little to your inner forearm and wait 24 hours before regular use.
Ingredients like turmeric and red sandal naturally carry colour, so expect your finished product to take on a warm tint. Keep the percentage modest if you want a pale base.
Safety notes
This is a cosmetic ingredient for external application only. Keep these points in mind:
- Do not ingest. This is not a food or a supplement.
- Always patch test before wider use, especially on sensitive or reactive skin.
- No herb–drug interactions are known, but exercise caution with external applications and stick to sensible, low use levels.
- Keep away from children and out of the eyes.
- Citrus-based botanicals can increase sun sensitivity in some formulations, so use sun protection during the day.
- Refer to the product's COA and MSDS (available in both oil-soluble and water-soluble forms) if you are formulating professionally.
Buying and storage tips
Azlok offers the blend in sizes from 100 Gm right up to 10 Kg, so hobbyists and small businesses can both find a suitable pack. The 100 Gm pack starts at ₹499, which makes it easy to trial before committing to bulk. Packaging is supplied as per requirement.
Store the extract in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the container tightly closed to protect it from moisture and air. Unopened and stored well, it has a shelf life of around two years. Note the batch and opening date on your bottle, and always use clean, dry tools when measuring out to avoid contamination.
