Botanical Extract Manufacturing Process
Grape seeds botanical extract comes from seeds. It is manufactured through plant extraction at 40°C, a 2-hour process using only green solvents, under agitation. The low temperature and short kinetics help maintain the integrity of the active molecules, while extracting the maximum amount of target compounds. The extraction solvent is a mixture of glycerin and water (50:50). The depleted grape seeds and impurities are then eliminated through filtration. Environmentally sound as it reduces energy consumption, this process preserves the quality of grape seeds botanical extract while keeping its denaturation to a minimum. Moreover, they are easy to formulate and compatible with water-based cosmetics formulas. Available in conventional form, grape seeds botanical extract is also offered in organic version.
