How to Use Loquat Leaf Extract

Warm Compress

The loquat leaf extract compress method involves using cloth soaked in loquat leaf extract and applying it as a compress to help alleviate pain.

Loquat Leaf Extract Use

Loquat Leaf Extract Application

This method involves directly applying the loquat leaf extract to areas of pain or injury. Since some people may experience a rash from loquat leaf extract, it is recommended to perform a patch test beforehand.

Loquat Leaf Extract Use 2

Homemade Lotion

Dilute the extract with water at a ratio of 1:4 (extract), and optionally add glycerin (for moisture) to make your own lotion. As a guideline, use glycerin at about 1/100th of the total amount. Adjust the concentration of the extract and glycerin to your liking. Note that the preservative effect of the alcohol weakens when diluted with water, so store it in the refrigerator and use it within two weeks (about one week during the summer).

Loquat Leaf Bath

Boil the loquat leaves and add the decoction along with the leaves to your bath. The water will become very soft, and your body will warm up from deep inside, as if you've entered a hot spring.

Loquat Leaf Moxibustion

Loquat leaf moxibustion may seem difficult at first, but it's a simple home remedy. Layer the leaf, cloth, and paper on the skin, place a moxa stick on top, and move it slowly once it becomes warm. The far-infrared heat from the moxa combined with the loquat leaf's properties penetrates deeply into the body, providing a gentle warmth.

Staff's Feedback on Loquat Leaf Extract

I have been using loquat leaf extract as a lotion. Since I started using it, I’ve noticed that I no longer suffer from the breakouts that used to bother me. I love its slightly fruity scent, and it’s non-sticky and refreshing. It has also seemed to help with insect bites, as applying the extract in its raw form speeds up the healing process. It's one of the staples in my household.

Loquat Leaf Extract Q&A

Can I use loquat leaf extract on my scalp?

Since individual reactions to direct application on the skin may vary, we recommend doing a patch test beforehand. If you feel any irritation, dilute the extract before use.

What should I add when making lotion with loquat leaf extract?

We recommend adding glycerin, which has moisturizing properties, when using loquat leaf extract as a lotion. Especially during the cold winter season when skin tends to dry out, adding more glycerin will enhance the moisturizing effect. Please refer to this article for more details on how to make loquat leaf extract lotion.

Can loquat leaf extract be ingested?

Although the ingredients are only shochu (white liquor) and loquat leaves, we do not sell it as a drinkable product. Therefore, we advise against consuming it.

If you are looking for a drinkable option, please purchase "Loquat Leaf Spirits" instead of the cosmetic-grade loquat leaf extract.

What is the difference between "Loquat Leaf Extract" and "Loquat Leaf Spirits"?

There is no difference in terms of ingredients, manufacturing process, or components. The traditional loquat leaf extract is filled in cosmetic factories, allowing us to promote its use for skincare or lotion purposes. However, due to legal restrictions, we could not recommend it for ingestion.
