What Is Gotu-kola Herb Alcohol-Free Extract?
Gotu-kola Herb Alcohol-Free Extract is a cosmetic glycerin extract made from the aerial parts of Centella asiatica, carried in glycerin, an alcohol-free humectant base that integrates into the water phase. Supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized, it offers supplement and beverage formulators an ethanol-free version of this well-traveled Ayurvedic herb, ready for aqueous systems.
Market Demand
As centella-forward launches multiply and alcohol-free delivery gains ground, a glycerin-based gotu kola extract gives brands a clean-label route into aqueous products, and the ingredient's recognizable cica identity helps a new SKU find its audience quickly.
Formulation Applications
The glycerin blends into aqueous liquid supplements, wellness shots, and beverage concentrates during cold or gentle warm processing, sitting comfortably beside other calming botanicals in a broader blend. Gotu kola is traditionally associated with digestive, immune, and respiratory support — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Since 1972, Bio-Botanica has extracted herbs like this one at its family-owned, FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York, applying the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat process that keeps the aerial parts' naturally occurring constituents Holistically Balanced. The onsite quality lab runs HPLC, ICP/MS, microbial, and heavy-metal testing, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available on request.
