Common Buyer Questions
What is St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract, and what species and plant part does it come from?
St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract is a cosmetic glycerin extract made from the leaf of St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum), a member of the Hypericaceae family. Bio-Botanica extracts it at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York using the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat, cold-extraction process, so the finished extract carries a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced profile of the naturally occurring constituents of Hypericum perforatum leaf.
What extract form is this, and what is it carried in?
St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract is a cosmetic glycerin extract, and the carrier is glycerin. The carrier is what the finished St. John's Wort extract is delivered in — it is not the extraction solvent, which is Bio-Botanica's Bio-Chelated low-heat process. The glycerin carrier is confirmed on the Spec Sheet/TDS that ships with samples.
Does St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract contain alcohol?
No. St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract contains no ethanol. It is a cosmetic glycerin extract delivered in a glycerin carrier, which is the format formulators choose when an alcohol-free St. John's Wort extract is required. Residual-solvent details for your lot are documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS and representative COA.
Is St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract standardized to a specific compound?
No. St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract is a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced extract and is non-standardized — it reflects the naturally occurring constituents of Hypericum perforatum leaf rather than an isolated, quantified compound. Where a specification requires standardization to a marker, Bio-Botanica can quote a standardized extract to your requirement.
Is St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract for ingestible or topical formulas?
St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract is formulated for cosmetic and personal-care products and is intended for topical use. It is supplied at cosmetic use levels and is distinct from Bio-Botanica's full-strength ingestible extracts, which are formulated for food, beverage and supplement products. Do not specify this Part ID into an ingestible formula; ask our team for the ingestible St. John's Wort equivalent.
What applications and formats is St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract suited for?
St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract is supplied in bulk as a formulation base, and it suits the water phase of toners, essences, serums, mists, sheet-mask fluids, gels, lotions and creams, as well as shampoos, conditioners and scalp treatments. Bio-Botanica supplies the extract and its documentation; dose level and finished-product claims are set by your own formulation and regulatory review.
What industries and positioning does St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract fit?
St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract fits the Cosmetics and Personal Care industry. St. John's Wort is traditionally associated with skin- and hair-care positioning — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim. Any claim on a finished product is determined and substantiated by the brand and its regulatory review.
Where does St. John's Wort originate?
Hypericum perforatum is native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa. St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract is manufactured in the United States at Bio-Botanica's Hauppauge, New York facility, and sourcing and origin details for a given lot are documented on the TDS that accompanies samples.
How does St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract behave for solubility and compatibility?
St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract is water-compatible. The glycerin carrier blends into the aqueous phase during cold or gentle warm processing, which is why formulators reach for it in water-based systems. Evaluate a sample in your own matrix to confirm compatibility, and review the Spec Sheet/TDS for handling and storage.
What certifications are available for this ingredient?
Bio-Botanica operates under NSF, cGMP and FSSC 22000 quality systems, and Kosher, Halal and Organic certification is available. The Hauppauge, New York facility is FDA-inspected. Certification for a specific order of St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract can be confirmed with our team when you request a quote.
What documentation ships with St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract?
Samples of St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA and an SDS. Together these document the extract form, the glycerin carrier, the botanical identity and the testing performed, so your quality and regulatory teams can evaluate the ingredient against your own specifications.
How is St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract sold, and what about samples and MOQ?
St. John's Wort Herb Glycerin Extract is sold in bulk to formulators and brands, not as a finished consumer product, and is offered in pack sizes of 4 kg, 10 kg, and 19 kg. Pricing is available by requesting a formal quote — our team quotes to your chosen pack size and volume, and samples ship with full documentation so you can assess fit before committing.
