Gelatin Powder 180 Bloom
Gelatin Powder 180 Bloom is a high-quality, partially hydrolyzed collagen protein derived primarily from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as pigs and cows. The “180 Bloom” rating indicates its gel strength, meaning it forms a firm gel, making it suitable for various industrial, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. Gelatin is a natural biopolymer, pale yellow to off-white in color, odorless, and tasteless. It is widely used due to its excellent gelling, film-forming, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. The powder form offers ease of handling, storage, and precise dosing.

African Potato Extract
African Potato Extract is derived from the plant Hypoxis hemerocallidea, a medicinal plant native to southern Africa. It is commonly used in traditional African medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties. The active compound in the extract is hypoxoside, which is converted in the body to rooperol, a potent antioxidant. African Potato Extract is often used as a complementary treatment for conditions like arthritis, prostate issues, and certain infections, though scientific evidence on its effectiveness is still limited.
Flax
Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is an ancient crop cultivated primarily for its seeds and fibers. The flax seeds are small, flat, and oval, ranging from golden yellow to brown in color, and are rich in nutrients including omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid), lignans, dietary fiber, proteins, and vitamins. Flax fibers are derived from the stem and used in textile and industrial applications. Flaxseed oil, extracted from the seeds, is highly valued for its nutritional and therapeutic properties. Flax is utilized across food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors due to its multifunctional health benefits, fiber content, and sustainable nature.
Glycerin
Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid with a sweet taste and hygroscopic properties. It is a trihydroxy alcohol (triol) used extensively across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
