Another awesome question from K! My most recent eco living/diy home beauty formulating question was on powdered fruit extracts. Powdered fruit extracts and fruit powders are a wonderful way to use fruits in cosmetics. K asked me if they can be subbed for juices in natural, fresh, kitchen cosmetic blends. The answer: it depends since there are a few types of fruit extracts. I use them extensively (both in crafting for myself, and I used them in crafting my skin care line too). In the article I described the different kind of powdered fruit extracts and powders that I am familiar with, and offered some advice on subbing them for juices in the recipes. Enjoy!
There are also liquid fruit extracts too, but I did not go over them since the question was specifically for the powdered kind. But the liquid ones are all of the usual herbal and lab types of extracts: tinctures, vinegars, glycerites, oils, and also lab concentrated fruit extracts.
