Description: Black cumin seed powder, derived from the Nigella sativa plant, has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. It contains various bioactive compounds, including thymoquinone, which is believed to be responsible for its health benefits. 

Common Uses: A powder that is soluble in solutions of alcohol and water, it is believed to be an effective natural preservative that prevents molding. A tincture is made to add to the water phase of the product and used at 1.5 to 3.5%.

How To Incorporate Extracts In Formulations:

Most extracts should be added to the cool down phase of the formulation.

• For shampoos, creams, and other thick products: Mix 5-10 ml of hot water (45 ̊C – 50 ̊C; the temperature of the cool down phase) into the powdered extract until it dissolves. Combine this mixture thoroughly into the product.

• For mists, toners, and other products that are almost entirely water: There is no need to dissolve the extract before adding it to the product.

Tincture Instructions: Botanical 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. Not all extracts are completely soluble, so you may see some residue after it has been blended and if necessary, this can be removed using a filter. Once the botanical extract moistened with the solvent, it can be used right away.

Solubility: Soluble in water.
