2 BUTTERFLY PEA FLOWER EXTRACT FOR DIY SKINCARE

Butterfly Pea Flower Extract — Antioxidant Botanical Additive for Toners, Magnesium Sprays & HA Serums

This Butterfly Pea Flower Extract is a potent botanical additive created by extracting whole butterfly pea blossoms in high-grade alcohol to capture their rich anthocyanins—the deep blue antioxidants known for brightening, calming, and restoring the skin. This extract is meant to enhance your DIY skincare, not preserve it, offering vibrant plant benefits and a touch of natural color.

Important Use Guidelines

• Not designed for shelf stability.
  This extract does not contribute enough alcohol or antimicrobial action to preserve a finished formula. It is purely for herbal benefits, color, and antioxidant support.

• Use under 5% of your total formula.
  Butterfly pea flower has a naturally strong pigment. Using more than 5% can cause temporary skin discoloration or staining in lighter-toned formulas.

• Best added as an herbal booster to products that already meet your preservation needs (like toners or serums formulated to 15% alcohol or other stable bases).

Skin & Herbal Benefits

Butterfly pea flower is revered for:

• High anthocyanin content — powerful antioxidants that brighten and shield the skin from oxidative stress

• Calming anti-inflammatory action — perfect for redness, sensitivity, and reactive skin

• Collagen-supportive properties — may help improve elasticity and soften fine lines

• Hydration synergy — works beautifully with hyaluronic acid and hydrosols

• Soft botanical tint — adds a natural blue hue without synthetic dyes

It brings gentle vibrancy and antioxidant richness to even the simplest formulas.

Perfect For DIY Creations

Use Butterfly Pea Flower Extract in:

• Hydrosol Toners – adds brightening antioxidants and a gentle botanical tint.

• Magnesium Sprays – softens the feel and soothes irritated skin.

• Hyaluronic Acid Serums – enhances hydration, elasticity, and antioxidant protection.

Just a small amount elevates your creations with plant magic and visible results—without overpowering the skin.
