How and Why to Use Our New Glycerinated Extracts (Flax, Aloe Vera, Oat, Horse Chestnut, and Harpagophytum)

Our glycerinated extracts are obtained through a gentle process of macerating plants in a base of vegetable glycerin, ensuring the preservation of water-soluble active compounds and perfect compatibility with cosmetic formulations.
 Natural, stable, and easy to incorporate, they provide hydration, soothing benefits, and vitality to face, body, and hair care products.
 All our extracts are soluble in the aqueous phase and can be added at the end of the formulation process, below 40 °C, at levels between 2% and 5% depending on the desired effect.
