What Is Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract?
Cranberry alcohol-free extract is a glycerin-based liquid extract of Vaccinium macrocarpon fruit, made without alcohol through our low-heat Bio-Chelated cold-extraction process. It preserves the berry's naturally occurring proanthocyanidins in a Holistically Balanced profile, giving supplement and beverage brands a clean-label, alcohol-free North American botanical.
Market Demand
Cranberry is one of North America's most recognized functional berries, and demand for alcohol-free, glycerin-based extracts continues to grow alongside clean-label supplement and women's-wellness product lines. Its strong consumer familiarity gives brands an easy-to-market ingredient with immediate shelf recognition.
Formulation Applications
This alcohol-free extract suits liquid and clean-label formats such as tinctures, liquid supplements, functional beverages, and gummies. Brands can position cranberry around urinary-tract and women's wellness, and its alcohol-free glycerin base fits water-based and family-friendly systems.

Common Buyer Questions
What is Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract, and what species and plant part does it come from?
Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract is an alcohol-free extract made from the berry of Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon), a member of the Ericaceae family. Bio-Botanica extracts it at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York using the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat, cold-extraction process, so the finished extract carries a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced profile of the naturally occurring constituents of Vaccinium macrocarpon berry.
What extract form is this, and what is it carried in?
Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract is an alcohol-free extract, and the carrier is glycerin. The carrier is what the finished Cranberry extract is delivered in — it is not the extraction solvent, which is Bio-Botanica's Bio-Chelated low-heat process. The glycerin carrier is confirmed on the Spec Sheet/TDS that ships with samples.
Does Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract contain alcohol?
No. Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract contains no ethanol. It is an alcohol-free extract delivered in a glycerin carrier, which is the format formulators choose when an alcohol-free Cranberry extract is required. Residual-solvent details for your lot are documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS and representative COA.
Is Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract standardized to a specific compound?
No. Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract is a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced extract and is non-standardized — it reflects the naturally occurring constituents of Vaccinium macrocarpon berry rather than an isolated, quantified compound. Where a specification requires standardization to a marker, Bio-Botanica can quote a standardized extract to your requirement.
Is Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract for ingestible or topical formulas?
Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract is formulated for food, beverage and dietary supplement products. It is a full-strength ingestible extract, distinct from Bio-Botanica's Cosmetic Glycerin Extracts, which are formulated in a glycerin carrier at cosmetic use levels for topical products only. Confirm the grade on the Spec Sheet/TDS before specifying it into a formula.
What applications and formats is Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract suited for?
Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract is supplied in bulk as a formulation base, and it suits tinctures, herbal syrups, shots and functional beverage concentrates, and it can be carried into gummies and other liquid-compatible supplement formats. Bio-Botanica supplies the extract and its documentation; dose level and finished-product claims are set by your own formulation and regulatory review.
What industries and positioning does Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract fit?
Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract fits the Dietary Supplements and Food and Beverage industries. Cranberry is traditionally associated with urinary wellness — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim. Any claim on a finished product is determined and substantiated by the brand and its regulatory review.
Where does Cranberry originate?
Vaccinium macrocarpon is native to North America (northeastern United States and eastern Canada). Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract is manufactured in the United States at Bio-Botanica's Hauppauge, New York facility, and sourcing and origin details for a given lot are documented on the TDS that accompanies samples.
How does Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract behave for solubility and compatibility?
Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract is water-compatible. The glycerin carrier blends into the aqueous phase during cold or gentle warm processing, which is why formulators reach for it in water-based systems. Evaluate a sample in your own matrix to confirm compatibility, and review the Spec Sheet/TDS for handling and storage.
What certifications are available for this ingredient?
Bio-Botanica operates under NSF, cGMP and FSSC 22000 quality systems, and Kosher, Halal and Organic certification is available. The Hauppauge, New York facility is FDA-inspected. Certification for a specific order of Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract can be confirmed with our team when you request a quote.
What documentation ships with Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract?
Samples of Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA and an SDS. Together these document the extract form, the glycerin carrier, the botanical identity and the testing performed, so your quality and regulatory teams can evaluate the ingredient against your own specifications.
How is Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract sold, and what about samples and MOQ?
Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract is sold in bulk to formulators and brands, not as a finished consumer product, and is offered in pack sizes of 23 kg and 200 kg. Pricing is available by requesting a formal quote — our team quotes to your chosen pack size and volume, and samples ship with full documentation so you can assess fit before committing.
How is Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract manufactured and tested?
Cranberry Alcohol-Free Extract is manufactured at Bio-Botanica's FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York — family-owned since 1972 — using the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process. Testing runs in the onsite quality lab on instrumentation including HPLC, UPLC-MS/MS, GC/MS, LC/MS and ICP/MS, covering identity, microbial, USP and heavy-metal specifications from raw-material intake through finished product, supported by third-party labs.
