## About
The hop vine climbs high through the summer, hung with soft green cones that have long flavored the brewer's kettle. Here those blossoms become something for the apothecary shelf: a CO2 extract of Humulus lupulus, made in Germany, of which a very little goes a very long way.Hops extract is highly recommended for use in deodorants and foot-care products. Its lipophilic components, the humulones and lupulones, are behind its deodorant activity, and it is used at remarkably low dilutions, as low as 0.1 to 0.2%, literally a single drop per ounce of an oil-based product. One idea worth trying: a drop or two worked into clay or arrowroot powder for a deodorant powder.DetailsBotanical name: Humulus lupulusMethod: CO2 extraction of the blossomsMade in: GermanyTexture: thick, from molasses to semi-solid at cool room temperatureHow to useWarm the bottle gently before pouring, since the extract thickens in a cool room.
