Khaya Senegalensis Bark Extract Liquid, IO

This ingredient at a glance

The recommended level is 0.1 to 1%, with 1% typical. The card lists a wide range of face products: facial skin care, age-defying cosmetics, moisturizers, BB-perfecting products, care for oily and teenage skin, products for skin with imperfections and visible redness, and cleansers.

A versatile face active

Few actives are listed for both mature skin and teenage skin. This broad positioning suggests a general skin-conditioning or smoothing role. Read the supplier data sheet to learn which effect it is known for and plan the product story around that, rather than trying to claim everything at once.

Teenage skin

Products for younger skin should be simple, light and gentle. Avoid heavy fragrance, keep the texture fresh and give clear, short directions. Present the product as everyday care for a balanced look.

BB products

In tinted creams, add the concentrate to the water phase after the pigments are dispersed. Check that it does not change the shade over time.

Directions for users

Suggest applying the gel fluid morning and evening after cleansing.

Sensory check

Ask testers to rate shine, absorption and comfort after ten minutes and after two hours.

Record keeping

Note the concentrate lot, the format and the final pH of each batch.

Packaging

Pumps and tubes keep light gels clean and easy to dose.

Lot records

Keep each CoA with the batch file and note the lot used.

Cleanser tip

In rinse-off cleansers, contact time is short, so pair the active with leave-on products in the same range.

Record the lot number in your batch log so every production run can be traced back to its certificate of analysis. Retain a small sample of each lot for at least the shelf life of the finished product, since it makes later quality questions much easier to answer.

Storage

Store closed as the CoA directs. Close the container after use.
