What Is Green Tea Leaf Glycerin Extract?
This is a Cosmetic Glycerin Extract of green tea leaf (Camellia sinensis) made in glycerin derived from RSPO-certified palm, giving formulators a glycol-free carrier alternative to butylene- or propylene-glycol grades. It is full-spectrum and non-standardized, and it preserves the naturally occurring leaf constituents through Bio-Botanica's Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process. Glycerin acts as a plant-derived humectant carrier.
Market Demand
Clean-label and glycol-free positioning is a growing priority across cosmetics, and green tea remains a trusted botanical on ingredient decks. MarketsandMarkets forecasts the tea extract market to hit USD 4.36 billion by 2030, a figure that reflects strong ongoing appetite for leaf-based actives among personal-care brands.
Formulation Applications
As a glycerin-only glycerin extract, this extract is well matched to glycol-free and minimalist formulations, including hydrating serums, facial essences, gel masks, mists, and clean-beauty moisturizers where a plant-derived humectant carrier is preferred. It also works in scalp and hair leave-in products. Brands can position it around botanical hydration and skin conditioning within clean-beauty ranges.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
A family business since 1972, Bio-Botanica extracts this glycerin extract in its Hauppauge, New York cGMP facility, which is FDA-inspected and supported by NSF and FSSC 22000 quality systems. Identity, microbial, USP, and heavy-metal testing are performed in our onsite laboratory using instrumentation including UPLC-MS/MS and ICP/MS, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification can be arranged.
