Botanical extracts formulated in glycerin for topical use
Cosmetic Glycerin Extract
A cosmetic glycerin extract is a botanical extract formulated in a vegetable glycerin carrier for topical formulas. Glycerin is the carrier, not the extraction solvent. Bio-Botanica supplies these to personal-care developers from our cGMP plant in Hauppauge, New York, priced by quote with a sample and documentation.
About this format
These are botanical extracts formulated in a vegetable glycerin carrier and supplied at cosmetic use levels for topical work. Glycerin here is the carrier the extract is delivered in, not the solvent it was extracted with — extraction is by Bio-Botanica's Bio-Chelated low-heat process. Glycerin is water-compatible and mild, so these blend into the water phase of a formula.
If you need a more concentrated botanical for an ingestible product, look at our Alcohol-Free Extracts instead — also glycerin-based, but supplied at full strength for supplement and beverage formulas.

Formulation applications
These extracts fold into toners, essences, mists, gels, serums, lotions, and hair and scalp formulas, dispersing into the water phase during cold or gentle warm processing. The glycerin carrier is a familiar humectant on a cosmetic ingredient list.
They are formulated for topical use. For ingestible formats, see the Alcohol-Free Extract range.
