What Is Cleavers Alcohol-Free Extract?
Cleavers is the clinging spring herb that catches on sleeves and hedgerows across the temperate world, valued in traditional herbalism as a gentle lymphatic botanical. This extract is prepared from the leaf of Galium aparine, a member of the Rubiaceae family, and carried in glycerin, an alcohol-free, naturally sweet base.
Market Demand
An alcohol-free leaf extract lets brands feature it in liquid tonics and dropper formats aimed at clean-label and everyday-wellness lines.
Formulation Applications
The extract disperses into aqueous liquid supplements, dropper blends, syrups, and functional beverages, layering easily with other gentle spring herbs. Cleavers is traditionally associated with immune support — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim — giving formulators a heritage botanical for clean-label ingestible lines.
