Description
Pineapple Extract
The nutrients found in our Pineapple Extract provide the necessary building blocks essential for healthy hair and skin.
Pineapple has long been used in skincare for its soothing and astringent properties. Use it to boost the performance of your lotion, cream, wash, and toner formulations.
Why do we prefer extracts in liquid form? They are easy to use in bases and do not normally require heating to be properly mixed in. Many customers have expressed frustration when attempting to incorporate extract powders into viscous formulations due to issues with powders not fully dissolving. Our goal is to keep this as easy and enjoyable as possible!
Our proprietary extraction process allows for the isolation and separation of the beneficial constituents without any of the undesirable by-products. Our Extracts are low-color, low-odor and cost effective, as well as having a consistent lot quality you can count on.

Hello, can the pineapple extract be used to scent the gel body wash ? -
Hi Stephanie, extracts are odorless. You would want to use Pineapple Fragrance Oil to scent the body wash. Here is a link: https://essentialsbycatalina.com/product/pineapple-fragrance-oil/
