What It Does

Beet Juice Powder is derived from the juice of Beta vulgaris (red beet) roots, concentrated and spray-dried to preserve its vibrant pigmentation from betalain compounds, specifically betacyanins and betaxanthins, which impart rich red-to-violet hues. It is prized by formulators as a natural, plant-based colorant alternative to synthetic dyes in lip products, blushes, and skin-care formulations, while also contributing mild antioxidant activity due to its polyphenol content. However, its color stability is pH- and light-sensitive, making it best suited for low-pH, opaque, or UV-protected formulations to prevent fading or color shift.
