Botanical Extracts / Ingredients

The concentrated liquids extracted from plants are known as botanical extracts. The active ingredients of the plants are carefully separated through extraction. These extracts are concentrated and only meant for external application. They are natural products that can be included in DIY skincare and hair care applications. Botanical extracts are being widely used in cosmetics, skincare, and haircare products due to their therapeutic benefits.

VedaOils offers a wide range of botanical active extracts to cater the increasing demand for natural products. These botanical extracts can be further categorised into:

• Water-Soluble Active Extracts: The botanical extracts that can be added to water-based products and blend effortlessly with water-based ingredients are called water-soluble active extracts. They are to be added when the formulation is in water-phase. The extracts obtained from cucumber, Aloe Vera, retinol, etc. fall in this category. Water-soluble active extracts are usually added in face washes, face masks, face scrubs, face gels, and more.
• Oil-Soluble Active Extracts: The botanical extracts that can be added to oil-based formulas and blend easily with oil-based ingredients are known as oil-soluble active extracts. They are to be added when the emulsion is in oil-phase. These extracts contain emollient properties that make your skin soft and smooth. Wheat germ, garlic, sea buckthorn, argan oil extracts, etc. fall into this category. Oil-soluble active extracts are mostly used in soaps, body lotions, and cosmetic products.

The various applications of botanical active extracts in different industries are given below:

• Cosmetics: When added to cosmetic formulations, botanical extracts enhance their moisturising properties. They reduce pore size and their powerful antioxidants protect your skin from damage. Some of them also control your skin’s oil production.
• Health Supplements: Botanical extracts are also rich in minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients. So, they can be added to health supplements to enrich your diet and provide the necessary nutrition to your body.
• Personal Care Products: Botanical extracts are also added in personal care products to protect your skin and hair from external factors like pollution, sun damage, etc. Their soothing effects and therapeutic properties make them an excellent addition to personal care products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Botanical extracts like green tea, chamomile, lavender, etc. are added in drugs, medications, and other pharmaceutical applications due to their healing properties. They are known to control pain and provide quick relief from inflammation.
• Cleaning Products: Botanical extracts are added to various types of surface cleaners, home cleaners, window cleaners, floor cleaners, etc. They are an excellent alternative to chemical-based cleaning products as they don’t contain any harmful chemicals or compounds.
