What Is Grapefruit Seed Zea-Botanicals® Liquid Extract?
Grapefruit Seed Zea-Botanicals® Liquid Extract delivers grapefruit seed, from Citrus x paradisi, in Zemea, a plant-derived, renewable propanediol. Grapefruit is a Caribbean hybrid of pomelo and sweet orange first recorded in Barbados. The extract is supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized as a ready-to-blend liquid for cosmetic and personal-care formulators.
Market Demand
Citrus botanicals are a durable fixture of fresh, energizing personal care, and grapefruit carries bright, universally understood associations. A renewable-propanediol carrier lets brands keep that citrus story while meeting clean-beauty expectations for the base.
Formulation Applications
The propanediol base blends into cleansers, toners, mists, gels, and scalp systems, dispersing evenly in the water phase and simplifying dosing. Positioning stays with format, the plant-derived carrier, and a recognizable citrus botanical story rather than any consumer health claim.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica characterizes this seed by HPLC and ICP/MS with microbial, USP, and heavy-metal testing in an onsite quality lab before release. Family-owned since 1972 and operating an FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York, the company uses low-heat Bio-Chelated extraction to hold a Holistically Balanced profile of naturally occurring constituents, with Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification available.
