Dragonfruit Powder
INCI Hylocereus Undatus Fruit Powder
Overview
Finely milled dragonfruit, bringing a striking natural pink colour to a dry formula.
What it is
Dragonfruit Powder is made by drying and milling dragonfruit, also known as pitaya, into a fine powder. It carries a vibrant, natural pink colour.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Dragonfruit grows on a climbing cactus native to Central America, now cultivated widely across tropical regions including Southeast Asia. The fruit is dried and milled into the fine powder used in a formulation.
What it does in a formulation
Contributes a natural pink colour and fine texture to a finished powder-based product.
Why Lovebee uses it
That colour is genuinely striking, and we like being able to reach for a real fruit powder rather than a synthetic dye whenever we want a formula to have that vivid pink character.
