The extract is made from the flower. Bio-Botanica has manufactured botanical extracts at its cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York since 1972.

What part of Hibiscus does Bio-Botanica extract?

Bio-Botanica extracts the flower of Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis). The plant part is stated on every specification sheet, because part-versus-species accuracy matters for identity testing and for label copy in the finished product.

What extract forms of Hibiscus are available?

Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is available from Bio-Botanica as alcohol-free extract and cosmetic glycerin extract. 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.

Is Hibiscus extract available alcohol-free?

Is Hibiscus extract standardized to a specific compound?

Bio-Botanica’s Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) 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 Hibiscus material, our team can discuss a custom extraction.

Positioning is structure/function only.
