What Is Lemon Balm Herb Glycerin Extract?
Lemon Balm Herb Glycerin Extract is a topical glycerin extract made from Melissa officinalis leaf held in glycerin, a humectant carrier derived from RSPO-certified palm oil and compatible with water-based formulas. This is the standard (non-organic) grade of the glycerin extract, delivered as a Holistically Balanced, full-spectrum extract of the herb's naturally occurring constituents and non-standardized.
Market Demand
Future Market Insights forecasts that the lemon balm extract category will pass the USD 3 billion mark by 2035, underscoring how personal-care brands are leaning into herbal-derived ingredients. A dependable, alcohol-free leaf glycerin extract lets formulators tap that trend across a wide range of cosmetic textures.
Formulation Applications
Because it carries no ethanol, this grade slots into leave-on personal-care systems where an alcohol-free label is preferred, including hydrating serums, facial toners, essence lotions, evening or overnight mists, and scalp and hair treatments; the glycerin base acts as a water-compatible humectant carrier. Its lemon-herb aroma can add a natural fragrance dimension, and brands can build botanical and self-care positioning around it without consumer promises.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica has been a family-owned botanical manufacturer since 1972, working out of an FDA-inspected cGMP facility on Long Island, New York. This glycerin extract is produced with the low-heat Bio-Chelated method so the leaf's full spectrum is retained without high-temperature processing. Quality is verified in-house through identity, microbial and USP testing on instrumentation including GC/MS and LC/MS, with Kosher and Halal certification available and samples supplied with a Spec Sheet/TDS, representative COA and SDS.
