Recommended Usage Rate

A typical usage rate is 1–5% of the total formulation, depending on the type of product and the desired result. Always follow the recommended usage instructions provided by your raw-material supplier.

Formulation Considerations

As a natural plant powder, Raspberry Leaf Powder may influence the colour, texture, and appearance of your finished product. It should be thoroughly dispersed throughout the formulation to help prevent clumping and ensure even distribution.

For water-containing products such as creams and lotions, use an appropriate cosmetic preservative and follow good manufacturing practices.

Potential Drawback

Raspberry Leaf Powder may cause irritation or sensitivity in some individuals, particularly those with sensitive skin. A patch test is recommended before using a finished product containing the ingredient over a larger area.
