Ashwagandha Extract for DIY skincare

Ashwagandha Extract is a powerful adaptogen that brings both calming energy and skin-loving antioxidants to DIY skincare. When added to toners and hyaluronic acid serums, it helps soothe stressed or reactive skin, reduce the look of redness and irritation, and protect against oxidative damage that contributes to early signs of aging. Ashwagandha is also known to help improve skin tone and texture, leaving the complexion softer, more balanced, and naturally radiant. In magnesium sprays, it adds a deeply grounding and relaxing quality, helping to ease muscle tension, calm the nervous system, and support a greater sense of well-being.

For those creating their own skincare, using 20% of this high-proof ashwagandha extract and bringing the finished formula to 15% total alcohol gives you a naturally preserved, shelf-stable product without synthetic preservatives. At this level, the alcohol helps maintain freshness, discourages microbial growth, and keeps the plant’s active compounds potent for several months while still feeling gentle on the skin.
