To make aqueous preparations with 5% Organic Ivy Extract

Incorporate the extract into all your water-based formulas
Step 1
Add the Organic Ivy Extract cold, at the end of the formulation process.
Step 2

To make gels (up to 50% Organic Ivy Extract)
Organic Ivy Extract can easily be used at up to 50% to make concentrated gels.
Making gels with Organic Ivy Extract
Step 1
Depending on the length of your hair, pour the required amount of powder into a bowl.
Step 2
Start at the back of the head, applying the henna in strands and working it through to the scalp.
Step 3
Continue with the top of the head, applying in thick layers, working in strands.
Step 4
Massage to ensure all the hair is well covered and pull it into a bun.
To make emulsions containing between 5 and 30% Organic Ivy Extract
Formulating emulsions with Organic Ivy Extract requires special care. Organic Ivy Extract tends to destabilise emulsions at high concentrations. To make your emulsion, incorporate it into your aqueous phase and use the highest dosage of emulsifier.

Method of production
This hydroglycerine extract is obtained by macerating organic ivy leaves in a natural water/glycerin mixture.
Most of the active ingredients in ivy are soluble in an aqueous medium. Thus, by macerating the ivy in a water/glycerin mixture, the active ingredients will very easily dissolve in the extraction liquid. After filtration, a water/glycerin mixture loaded with the plant's active ingredients is obtained.

Ivy has been known to man since ancient times. The Egyptians dedicated it to Osiris, god of fertility and ruler of the kingdom of the dead. For the Greeks, it protected against drunkenness and symbolised the warrior's victory. It was also used to treat migraines (by rubbing the leaves between the hands and applying them to the temples), and there was a specific ritual to follow: the ivy leaves had to be picked from the head of a statue, rubbed, and wrapped in red cloth before being applied to the temples.
In the 15th century, Leonardo da Vinci claimed that animals in the woods would seek out areas covered in ivy and roll around in it, bringing their wounds into contact with the trampled ivy, which released its sap, helping the wounds to heal better. Studies have since shown that the leaves have a pain-relieving effect. It is sometimes recommended for rheumatism and neuralgia. Today, ivy is used in cosmetics as an active ingredient in slimming products.
Storage
Although preserved, this hydroglycerin extract remains sensitive to contamination. It is strongly recommended that you store it in the refrigerator and use it within six months of opening. If you notice any change in appearance or smell, discontinue use of your hydroglycerin extract.
