What Is Hops Strobile Zea-Botanicals® Liquid Extract?
This is a liquid extract of the hops strobile (the flower cone of Humulus lupulus), part of Bio-Botanica's Zea-Botanicals® line and carried in Zemea, a plant-derived, renewable propanediol. Supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized, it gives cosmetic formulators the strobile flower character of hops in a clean, water-compatible base.
Market Demand
Botanicals with a strong sensory identity travel well in personal care, and hops is instantly recognizable from its place in brewing. Scalp and hair care in particular have leaned into herbaceous, botanically-led formulas, and a renewable-glycol hops extract fits that direction.
Formulation Applications
Formulate it into scalp and hair treatments, conditioners, cleansing gels, toners, and clarifying systems, where it disperses into the water phase during cold or gentle warm processing. Positioning holds to format, the plant-derived carrier, and the botanical's own character rather than any consumer health claim.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Operating from Hauppauge, New York as a family business since 1972, Bio-Botanica extracts this Zea-Botanicals® liquid in an FDA-inspected cGMP facility. The Bio-Chelated low-heat process safeguards a Holistically Balanced strobile profile, and onsite instrumentation including LC/MS, UPLC-MS/MS and ICP/MS supports identity, microbial and heavy-metal testing alongside third-party labs.
