Plant Extracts for Homemade Creams

Plant extracts for cosmetics

The plant extracts that you will find in this section contain all the properties of the plants in which they have been macerated. They are of high quality and with them you will be able to fill your homemade creams with properties. In Gran Velada we have an exquisite selection of plant extracts for cosmetics. The main difference between them in the liquid medium in which they have been made: oil, water, glycerin or alcohol.

In this way, extracts resistant to rancidity are obtained that allow obtaining active ingredients better preserved over time. They are of high purity and all of them are subject to contaminant control. In Gran Velada you can buy plant extracts for cosmetics in plastic containers of different sizes at a very competitive price. With them you will find it very easy to make homemade creams, masks or tonics according to the needs of your skin.

Depending on the extract we choose, it will have to be incorporated into one phase or another of the recipe. Creams are the result of joining an aqueous phase with another fat. The ingredients are mixed separately and joined at the end. If we opt for oily extract, it will have to be mixed with the oils of the fat phase. Meanwhile, if we choose a glycolic or water-soluble extract we will have to incorporate it together with the ingredients of the aqueous phase.

Making handmade cosmetics

When opting for one extract or another, we must be clear about what benefits we want to obtain for our skin. Of course, whatever we choose, we will be able to make handmade cosmetics in a simple and economical way. Making your own creams at home allows you to add the ingredients that best suit your skin type.

For example, lemon balm extract is astringent and can be used to formulate a tonic for oily skin. Meanwhile, calendula extract will serve to make a cream for burns and scars. If you are looking for a cream that stimulates skin rejuvenation, royal jelly extract, due to its high content of vitamin B and minerals, will be of great help.

With carrot extract you can make a homemade sunscreen, as it protects the skin and enhances tanning. For its part, chamomile extract will serve to take care of sensitive skin. It also helps fight irritation and redness.

These are just some examples of how these extracts can help us when making cosmetics at home. Dare to try them!
