hey there

i make my own moisturising serum just out of distilled water and 10% glycerin, however i was thinking of adding a tiny amount of powdered fruit extracts to jazz it up and add a bit of scent.

would you recommend this? does powdered fruit extract disolve well? i usually only make up a small 20mL batch of serum at a time and i wasnt sure how much to add

in terms of which fruit extracts, i was thinking of something like papaya for the summer and banana for the winter

just adding, what im looking at isnt actual powdered fruit or anything but some sort of extract which is used in skincare/soap making supplies

eg.

Papaya Fruit Extract, Powdered
Papaya is gently refreshing with a sweet, summery fragrance. It is excellent in stabilizing oily skin & working as an exfoliant on dry areas. Papaya also is often used in skin products for the purpose of a natural lift & rejuvenation of the skin. Papaya contains Vitamin A, a property that benefits skin repair through increasing the rate of new cell formation. Vitamin C is also an anti-oxidant with wonderful proteins for smoother, softer skin.

Powdered fruit extracts are the perfect ingredient to enhance the therapeutic properties of your handmade toiletries products! These botanical extracts are 100% natural in powdered form and are the perfect to both skin and hair care products. Powdered extracts have a 2 year shelf life if properly stored.
