What Is Nettle Root Brontide® Butylene Glycol Extract?
Nettle Root Brontide® Butylene Glycol Extract is drawn from the root of stinging nettle, Urtica dioica, a Urticaceae herb of temperate Europe, Asia, and northern Africa now widely naturalized across North America. It is carried in Brontide, a naturally derived butylene glycol that acts as a water-compatible humectant and solvent, and supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized for scalp, hair, and skin-care developers seeking a plant-based ingredient deck.
Market Demand
Nettle root has a devoted following in hair and scalp care, and its extract market is well tracked: Persistence Market Research valued the stinging nettle root extract market at US$ 72.3 million in 2026, projecting US$ 106.6 million by 2033 at a 5.7% CAGR. As scalp-health and root-strengthening claims gain traction, a Brontide-carried liquid extract lets brands place that botanical into naturally sourced, water-compatible formulas.
Formulation Applications
The Brontide base blends into scalp serums, strengthening hair tonics, conditioners, clarifying toners, and balancing gels, entering the water phase during standard processing and layering with other water-soluble actives. Nettle root carries a long herbal heritage, and in hair and scalp use it anchors a fortifying, balancing structure/function positioning rather than any consumer health claim. The Brontide base carries the root evenly through the water phase and cooperates with common surfactants, making it a low-friction addition to scalp and hair systems at pilot or production scale.

Family-owned since 1972, Bio-Botanica extracts this root at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York with the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat method, holding naturally occurring constituents in a Holistically Balanced profile. Each lot is checked for identity, microbial, and heavy-metal specifications in an onsite lab equipped with HPLC and ICP/MS, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available.
