Organic Butterfly Pea Flowers have a beautiful purple-blue hue to them. You can use them in a variety of ways in your formulation process, including making a tea water for the color and antioxidant benefits, or grinding the flowers down to make a powder and using that for color in products like dry masks, shampoo and conditioner bars, and body care products.
Butterfly Pea Flowers are traditionally used in Southeast Asian traditional herbal medicine both for the color and the bioactive compounds and antioxidants. Butterfly Pea Flowers are rich in anthocyanins, specifically delphinidin, which helps neutralize free radicals. This makes it an excellent addition to aging skincare routines.
Organic Butterfly Pea Flowers are also known to help reduce redness and reduce inflammation. If you’re creating a line to help target rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, acne, rashes, swelling and other types of skin inflammation. In addition to soothing irritated skin, organic butterfly pea flowers have also been said to help promote a more radiant complexion.
These same flavonoids make butterfly pea flower an excellent ingredient for use in hair care. Incorporating it into your shampoo and conditioners can help to strengthen hair and prevent hair loss. This is in addition to the purple/blue color, which can help reduce brassiness.
In a 2021 study published by National Library of Medicine, organic butterfly pea flower was shown to have the highest phenolic compound content of the three plants in the study. These compounds are what help fight free radicals on the skin. Organic Butterfly Pea Flower has been shown to help neutralize these free radicals, reducing the reactive oxygen species, which in turn makes the skin more youthful, helps protect the moisture barrier, and helps reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
