Glycerin
$ 1.20
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. Food-grade glycerin is produced through hydrolysis, saponification, or transesterification of fats and oils, ensuring compliance with stringent purity standards. It is supplied in bulk (e.g., 250kg drums) for large-scale applications where non-toxic, biodegradable humectants or solvents are required. Glycerin is widely appreciated for its moisture-retaining ability, solubility, lubricity, and stabilizing properties.

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.
Apricot Powder
Apricot powder is a dehydrated, finely ground form of apricot fruit, retaining much of the natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional properties of fresh apricots. It is typically made by drying fresh apricots through spray drying, freeze drying, or drum drying, then milling into a fine powder. Apricot powder is rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and antioxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamin C. It is widely used as a natural flavoring agent, colorant, and nutritional supplement in food and beverage products, as well as in cosmetics and dietary supplements. Its convenient powdered form allows for easy incorporation into dry mixes and processed goods without the perishability of fresh fruit.
Cocoa Butter
Cocoa Butter, also known as Theobroma oil, is a pale-yellow, edible fat extracted from cocoa beans, primarily from Theobroma cacao. It has a smooth, creamy texture and a mild, characteristic chocolate aroma. Cocoa Butter is solid at room temperature but melts near body temperature, which gives it a luxurious feel when applied to skin or consumed. It is highly valued for its emollient, moisturizing, and protective properties. Cocoa Butter is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and confectionery industries. Its stable composition rich in fatty acids such as stearic, palmitic, and oleic acids imparts excellent oxidative stability and a long shelf life.
Fish Collagen
Fish Collagen is a natural protein derived from the skin, scales, and bones of various fish species through enzymatic hydrolysis or acid extraction. It is predominantly Type I collagen, known for its excellent bioavailability and biocompatibility. Fish Collagen typically appears as a fine white to off-white powder with low odor and high solubility in water and acidic solutions. It is widely prized in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and food industries due to its superior absorption compared to mammalian collagen, making it highly effective in skin, joint, and bone health applications. Fish Collagen supports the body’s extracellular matrix, promoting skin elasticity, hydration, and tissue repair.
