What Is Cordyceps Glycerin Extract?
Cordyceps Glycerin Extract is an alcohol-free glycerin extract of Cordyceps (Ophiocordyceps sinensis), a prized medicinal fungus from the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau, presented here in a glycerin base for topical work. It is full-spectrum and non-standardized, giving personal-care formulators a functional-mushroom active with a clean, water-compatible carrier.
Market Demand
Functional mushrooms have jumped from wellness into beauty, and the category is expanding fast — Fortune Business Insights projects the functional mushroom market to reach USD 51.87 billion by 2030. Cordyceps, one of the most recognizable names in that set, gives mushroom-skincare brands a hero botanical for energizing and revitalizing concepts.
Formulation Applications
The glycerin liquid folds into serums, essences, eye creams, and scalp treatments during the water phase, and it layers well with other adaptogenic botanicals. Cordyceps supports revitalizing and replenishing skincare positioning — a structure/function story for topical products, made without consumer health promises.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Since 1972, family-owned Bio-Botanica has produced extracts at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York, using a proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat process that treats this fungus gently to keep a Holistically Balanced profile. Identity, microbial, and heavy-metal testing runs in an onsite lab on HPLC and ICP/MS instrumentation, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available on request.
