Cucumber

What is Cucumber extract, and what species does it come from?

Cucumber extract from Bio-Botanica is a botanical extract made from Cucumis sativus, a plant in the Cucurbitaceae family, native to the Himalayas to southern China and northern Thailand. Bio-Botanica has manufactured botanical extracts at its cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York since 1972.

What extract forms of Cucumber are available?

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is available from Bio-Botanica as butylene glycol extract, 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 Cucumber originate?

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is native to the Himalayas to southern China and northern Thailand. Bio-Botanica sources raw Cucumber against identity and quality specifications, and every incoming lot is tested in our onsite laboratory before extraction begins.

Is Cucumber extract available alcohol-free?

Yes. Every Cucumber extract Bio-Botanica currently offers is alcohol-free — butylene glycol extract, cosmetic glycerin extract, and Zea-Botanicals®. These suit formulations where ethanol is restricted by label, market or process.

Is Cucumber extract standardized to a specific compound?

Bio-Botanica’s Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) extracts are full-spectrum rather than standardized to a single marker compound. The Bio-Chelated process is designed to carry the botanical’s naturally occurring constituents through in their native ratios. If your specification calls for a standardized Cucumber material, our team can discuss a custom extraction.

What applications is Cucumber extract suited for?

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) extract is supplied to formulators in dietary supplements, food and beverage, and cosmetics and personal care. The right format depends on the application: liquid and glycerin-carried forms suit water-based systems, powdered and solid extracts suit dry blends and capsules, and oil infusions suit anhydrous and oil-phase work. Positioning is structure/function only.
