Avocado extract from Bio-Botanica is a botanical extract made from Persea americana, a plant in the Lauraceae family, native to South-central Mexico and Central America. Bio-Botanica has manufactured botanical extracts at its cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York since 1972.

What extract forms of Avocado are available?

Avocado (Persea americana) is available from Bio-Botanica as cosmetic glycerin extract and Zea-Botanicals®. Each form carries its own Part ID and its own specification. Which one suits you depends on the carrier, the solids content and the process your finished product runs through.

Where does Avocado originate?

Is Avocado extract standardized to a specific compound?

Bio-Botanica’s Avocado (Persea americana) extracts are full-spectrum rather than standardized to a single marker compound.

If your specification calls for a standardized Avocado material, our team can discuss a custom extraction.

Positioning is structure/function only.
