Why Guava Fruit Powder?

Guava is a good source of antioxidants, particularly vitamins A and C. On top of that, guava is well-known for its potassium content.

• Common Uses: Guava is revered for both its vitamin content and its ability to slow the signs of aging. This is because Guava is very rich in Vitamin A, B and C, and it helps prevent day to day wear and tear of the skin. It can also be added to hair care products as a natural source of fiber.
• Recommended Usage: The maximum quantity of powdered fruit extract should not exceed 0.5% of the total product, while in tincture form the maximum amount of fruit extract must not exceed 5%.
• Fruit extracts are most easily added to formulations by first dissolving the extract in a suitable solvent such as alcohol (vodka or another grain alcohol with less scent), water, glycerin or mixture of solvent (water : alcohol or water : glycerin) and adding this tincture to your product.
• Tincture Instructions: Guava Powder has an extract ratio of 8:1 meaning 8 kg of Guava Powder is used to produce 1 kg of extract. Since you want the 100 ml tincture to contain 20 g of the raw plant, you should add 2.5 g of extract to 100 ml of suitable solvent. Remember that with the tincture once they are moistened, they must be used right away unless a proper preservative is used. Solubility: Soluble in water.
• Shelf Life: Stable.
