DESCRIPTION
Technical data sheet: Spearmint Powder
A fine powder made from dried spearmint leaves. It is used as a flavoring and aromatic in a variety of foods and beverages.
Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Guideline range: flavors 0.5–2 % in lip products; natural powders 1–10 % in masks and soaps.
How to use and incorporate: Flavors: add at the end of the process below 40 °C/104 °F in balms, glosses and lip products. Powders and natural ingredients: disperse in the water phase or at the end of the process.
Formulation tips:
- For lip products, confirm that the flavor is suitable for that use, not just food grade.
- Natural ingredients add microbial load: use a preservative in water-based products.
- Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Oil-soluble flavors in oils and anhydrous bases; water-soluble flavors in gels and aqueous bases.
Storage: Shelf life Shelf life: 24 months from the date of manufacture. Expiration date: see the package.
Precautions: Use: do not exceed recommended amounts. Allergies: may cause reactions in people sensitive to mint. Safety: keep out of reach of children.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
