In Ayurvedic medicine, hibiscus petal is used to stimulate thicker hair growth, prevent premature graying, hair loss and scalp disorders. It acts as a natural emollient hair conditioner and can be used in hair washes, treatments and vinegar rinses for the hair.
Hibiscus extract visibly promotes even tone and texture to skin affected by cellulite. Hibiscus extract is used throughout Polynesia, Southeast Asia, and Central and South America as an infusion to cleanse, soften, and soothe baby's hair and scalp.
The flowers of the Hibiscus have antioxidant properties and inhibit elastin degradation, helping to maintain the skin's elasticity and thereby offering anti-aging effects.
Hibiscus Extract Powder is useful for formulations targeting skin tone, anti-aging, anti-cellulite and firming products.
Traditional use of the flowers and leaves in India include burning them in ghee to produce a black dye used to blacken eyes and eyebrows. In Hawaii, the flowers are worn on women's hair and around the neck as garlands. Hibiscus Extract Powder has a tart lemony scent and an attractive burgundy color. You will need to account for color variations in your final formula.
