What Is Nettle Leaf Propylene Glycol Extract?
Nettle Leaf Propylene Glycol Extract is a personal-care liquid extract drawn from the leaf of Urtica dioica and carried in propylene glycol, a water-compatible humectant carrier widely used across cosmetic phases. This SKU is full-spectrum and non-standardized. Bio-Botanica prepares it with the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat process to help maintain a Holistically Balanced leaf profile.
Market Demand
Formulators keep reaching for water-compatible botanical liquids that drop cleanly into aqueous systems; Grand View Research forecasts the global herbal extract market to reach USD 53.43 billion by 2030, with nettle leaf featuring across skincare and haircare launches worldwide.
Formulation Applications
The propylene glycol carrier makes this extract suited to toners, essences, facial mists, serums, lotions, leave-in scalp treatments, and rinse-off haircare. It is a practical choice for developers who want a nettle leaf active delivered in a propylene glycol base rather than glycerin. Brands can position it within botanical and naturally derived cosmetic ranges centered on leaf extracts.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Since 1972, Bio-Botanica has supplied bulk botanical extracts from its cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York, with quality systems spanning NSF, cGMP, and FSSC 22000. Every lot passes identity, microbial, USP, and heavy-metal testing in an onsite lab using instrumentation such as GC/MS and ICP/MS, backed by third-party labs. Kosher and Halal certification are available, and each sample arrives with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA, and an SDS.
Common Buyer Questions
What carrier is used in this liquid extract?
The carrier is propylene glycol, a water-compatible humectant carrier suited to aqueous cosmetic phases.
Does this product contain alcohol?
No. It is a propylene glycol liquid extract, not an ethanol fluid extract, so it does not contain alcohol as a carrier.

It is made from nettle leaf (Urtica dioica) only.
Is it topical or ingestible?
