What Is White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract?
White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract is a liquid extract of Camellia sinensis, the Theaceae species behind all true tea, delivered in a butylene glycol carrier. Butylene glycol is a cosmetic-grade humectant, making this a topical preparation. Supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized, it offers personal-care developers the gentlest, least-processed expression of the tea plant in a ready-to-blend water-phase fluid.
Market Demand
White tea is the premium end of a growing tea market: Grand View Research expects the global white tea market to reach USD 2.54 billion by 2030 at a 6.3% CAGR. Its minimally processed positioning aligns neatly with clean-label and premiumization trends across personal care. A liquid white tea extract lets cosmetic brands carry that upscale story onto an INCI list.
Formulation Applications
The butylene glycol base disperses into serums, essences, toners, facial mists, sheet-mask fluids and lightweight moisturizers, integrating smoothly into water-based systems and holding up across standard cold blending. It dilutes cleanly for lower use levels and pairs readily with other water-phase botanicals in aqueous cosmetic matrices.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Family-owned since 1972, Bio-Botanica extracts this botanical at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York on the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction platform, holding a Holistically Balanced profile of naturally occurring constituents of Camellia sinensis. Kosher, Halal and Organic certification is available on request, and tailored standardizations can be arranged when a cosmetic brief requires them.
Common Buyer Questions
What is White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract, and what species and plant part does it come from?
White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract is a liquid extract made from White Tea (Camellia sinensis), a member of the Theaceae family, native to southwestern China, the eastern Himalaya, and mainland Southeast Asia. It is produced by Bio-Botanica through our proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process, which is designed to preserve a Holistically Balanced, full-spectrum profile of its naturally occurring constituents.
What extract form is this, and what is it carried in?
This is a Butylene Glycol Extract — the botanical is delivered in a butylene glycol carrier. Butylene glycol is what the finished Camellia sinensis extract is delivered in, not what the botanical was extracted with — Bio-Botanica extracts on its Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction platform.
Does White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract contain alcohol?
No. White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract is carried in butylene glycol and is not an ethanol-based tincture or fluid extract. For residual solvent or processing details, refer to the Spec Sheet/TDS and representative COA that accompany samples.
Is White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract standardized to a specific compound?
White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract is a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced extract and is non-standardized. It is designed to reflect the naturally occurring constituents of Camellia sinensis rather than an isolated, quantified compound; a tailored standardization can be arranged on request.
Is White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract for ingestible or topical formulas?
White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract is formulated for cosmetic and personal-care products and is intended for topical use only. Its butylene glycol carrier is a cosmetic-grade humectant, which distinguishes it from Bio-Botanica's full-strength Alcohol-Free Extracts, formulated in a glycerin carrier for food, beverage and supplement products.
What applications and formats is White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract suited for?
It suits serums, essences, toners, facial mists, sheet-mask fluids and lightweight moisturizers. As a water-phase liquid it integrates smoothly into aqueous cosmetic bases during standard cold processing and dilutes cleanly for lower use levels.
What industries and positioning does White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract fit?
It fits the Cosmetics and Personal Care category as a botanical ingredient that formulators incorporate into their own products according to their positioning. White tea's minimally processed character supports clean-label and premium botanical narratives — framing intended for structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim.
Where does the White Tea originate?
White Tea (Camellia sinensis) is native to southwestern China, the eastern Himalaya, and mainland Southeast Asia. Sourcing and country-of-origin details for a given lot are documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS that accompanies samples.
How does White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract behave for solubility and compatibility?
As a butylene glycol-based liquid, White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract is intended for water-compatible formulations where a botanical liquid can be blended into your matrix. We recommend reviewing the Spec Sheet/TDS and evaluating a sample within your specific formulation to confirm compatibility and handling.
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. Our facility in Hauppauge, New York is FDA-inspected; specific certification for your order can be confirmed with our team.
What documentation ships with White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract?
Samples ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative Certificate of Analysis (COA), and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). These document the extract form, carrier, and testing so your team can evaluate the ingredient against your specifications.
How is White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol Extract sold, and what about samples and MOQ?
White Tea Phytobasic Butylene Glycol 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, 19 kg, and 200 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.
