This makes a very nice light green color for MP soaps. Very natural and not fake like some other colorants! Great in hand soaps!

I'm delighted that I purchased this product. It's really wonderful in my lotions and soaps. By itself, it's a marvelous astringent which leaves the skin soft, clear and smooth without the drying effect. It's nice to be able to add "Cucumis sativa" to the ingredients on my labels :) Although the scent is fresh and green, I personally add a bit of Green Tea fragrance to my lotions and soap. Thanks for the great packaging and reasonable price!

Cucumber peel extract added to moisturizer gives the product a great feel & texture; but also the skin actually feels lifted. I tell my clients its kind of like they're getting a free "lifting serum" with their moisturizer!

I just made a facial duo with the cucumber peel and can I tell you that I am in love. I made a cleanser and a toner with the extract and my pores looked smaller immediately! I also gave it out as samples and everybody thinks this stuff is great. Better yet, a little goes a long way. I am going to try it in an eye cream next and see how what marvelous transformation that materializes.

This extract is a lovely green color. I love what this powder can do for you. It lends to a nice cucumber scent too! This is also hard to find in a lot of suppliers and ND's prices make them stand out from the rest! Thank you!

I bought cucumber peel because I had done much research on the benefits of cucumber extracts, but had no real idea how I would incorporate it into my products. I added it to my acnes treatment just because I thought it couldn't hurt and I wanted to try it before I sent it to market. After about 2 weeks of use, I noticed a DRASTIC dimenishment of lines and wrinkles. I am thrilled to pieces with it and can't wait to try more complex formulations.

A powder that has the appearance of wheat grass powder. I smell no strong fragrance from the powder, and it works well in my facial toner. Excellent value.

Great to add in a lotion or eye/face treatment. Ingredients are the key to selling your products and people recognize cucumber for it's long standing benefits. Always packaged well and imo a quality product (which could be why they're always selling out) ;)

great packaging! User's guide in the description would be helpful. This product is an awesome price, a little goes such a long way. I used this in a facial, and in a cleanser and toner. It was fantastic in both, adding a little elasticity to the mask as well as the cool scent. Love this one.
