Natural extracts and clays

Beraca introduces new biofunctional extracts sourced from four Amazonian fruits: annatto, acerola, guaraná and açaí. The new ingredients mark the launch of Beraca’s powdered extracts.

Besides having a higher concentration of active ingredients, they have shown improved stability for use in cosmetic formulations. Free from water interference, the ingredients remain active for a longer period of time and are less susceptible to contamination. With a standardised concentration of active ingredients such as bixin, ascorbic acid, caffeine, and anthocyanin, among others, the extracts are a natural alternative to synthetic raw materials used for manufacturing different cosmetic products. Also recently launched is the Beraclays line, which contains 13 naturally coloured clays sustainably extracted from the soil of different regions of Brazil. With various applications in the cosmetic industry, they do not contain artificial dyes or pigments. Their tones and shades are variations of minerals and oligoelements found in nature. Beraclays’ decontamination process does not use radiation or generates toxic waste, allowing their organic properties to be preserved. Composed of mineralogical active ingredients with clinically proven benefits, Beraclays can be used for various purposes, the main of which being as a natural colouring alternative to creams, masks and lotions.
