Standardization: 14.2% Polysaccharides

Shiitake Liquid Extract – Standardized is a liquid blend of Shiitake Extract and Propanediol produced through a unique manufacturing technology.

Shiitake Liquid Extract is standardized for Polysaccharides (14.2%), which work in various ways, depending on their sources. Shiitake-based polysaccharides are known for their moisturizing, cooling, calming, balancing, and smoothing properties, which make them ideal for addition to firming, lifting, and skin-brightening products.

With a plant-based origin, Propanediol is a biodegradable and petrochemical-free solvent that is NPA approved, making it an excellent corn sugar-derived alternative to petroleum-based Glycols for hair- and skincare formulations. It offers benefits and functionalities that include improved emollience, enhanced viscosity, non-irritating properties, exceptional sensory characteristics, clarity, and anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, among many more.

The characteristic color of this botanical extract imbues natural and organic cosmetic formulations with its innate hue. This means that the product colors that were formerly possible to obtain only through the use of artificial and often objectionable constituents can now be achieved though plant-based ingredients that impart not only their beneficial, skin health-enhancing properties but also their individual natural colors. It is strongly recommended that small batch trials be conducted to determine the dosage required to achieve the desired shade imbued by the extract. The original color of Shiitake Liquid Extract – Standardized is Brown to Dark Brown; however, there is a possibility of this color changing, depending on the formulation to which it is added.

Recommended Usage Level: 1-3% in skincare products.

Storage: Stable when stored in a cool, dry place.

Shelf Life: Approximately 18 months
