Product Description
As DB FloraLuxe, we are proud to introduce our latest addition to the range of natural extracts - the Konjac Extract. This unique ingredient, derived from the root of the Konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), a perennial native to Asia, is highly valued for its beneficial properties and variety of uses. Konjac Extract is rich in glycosaminoglycans, dietary fibers, proteins, and various types of vitamins and minerals. It is well known for its hydrating qualities and exhibits exceptional thickening and emulsifying properties. Due to these unique characteristics, it's increasingly been incorporated in various cosmetic and skincare products.
Functions
Konjac Extract's natural gum-forming abilities make it an excellent skin hydrator. It forms a protective film on the skin, sealing in moisture and preventing dryness. The glucomannan in Konjac Extract, due to its high water-retention capacity, maintains skin elasticity and promotes the regeneration of skin cells, giving the skin a youthful, radiant glow, and reducing wrinkles. Additionally, the extract's natural cleansing properties aid in removing makeup, dirt, and impurities from the skin, leaving it clean and refreshed.

Extraction Methods
Adhering to the highest quality standards, we procure our Konjac roots from reliable organic farmers to ensure we start the extraction process with the best raw materials. The extraction process primarily involves two methods – water extraction and alcohol extraction. During water extraction, konjac flour is diffused with water under controlled conditions to release the active ingredients, yielding a clear solution containing konjac glucomannan. Alternatively, for alcohol extraction, a distillation process is employed under low temperatures and reduced pressure to extract the soluble components.
Applications
With its versatility and myriad benefits, Konjac Extract has various applications in the cosmetic industry. It is used in skin care products like facial masks, serums, and lotions for its hydrating and anti-aging properties. It's also found in makeup as it imparts a smooth texture and enhances the product's overall feel. Konjac Extract is also used in the formulation of shampoos and conditioners because it helps nourish and strengthen the hair.
