of solvent systems.

Aromatic extracts can be combined into blends to become 

more complex and distinctive. They are also useful for masking 

base notes without the use of fragrance. 

Certified 

Organic Extracts: The certified organic process based management system defines 

standards, practices and materials for manufacturing botanical

INCI NAMES & PRODUCT LABELING 

The correct INCI name for a botanical extract needs to include the 

solvent. For example the INCI names of the ingredients that make up 

“Chamomile Extract” in a water soluble system can be as follows: 

example 

Trade Name: Chamomile Extract 

INCI Name: Water (and) Glycerin (and) Chamomilla Recutita 

(Matricaria) Extract 

Incidental, and thus not required to be on the product’s label, the 

preservative system is also disclosed to the customer, for example: 

Potassium Benzoate 

Potassium Sorbate

AROMATIC BOTANICAL EXTRACTS 

Aromatic Extracts are useful for imparting a pleasing natural 

aroma to finished products or for masking cosmetic base odors 

without the use of fragrance. 

All extract components are physically extracted from a single genus 

and species plant. So, a natural lavender extract will contain only 

volatiles physically extracted from lavender

WILDCRAFTED BOTANICALS 

Sustainability – To give equal weight in your decisions to the 

future as well as the present. The global sustainability movement is 

growing rapidly. In the U.S. the movement is gaining strength, 

especially at the community level, focused on “Environmental 

Justice.” Likewise, corporations are beginning to understand they 

have a long-term responsibility for “product stewardship”. Elements of 

the sustainability movement are: 

The Green Movement 

Organic Agriculture 

Fair Trade Agriculture 

Wildcrafting 

Wildcrafted Botanicals Support Sustainability 

Plants are gathered from their natural, wild habitats, often from 

pristine areas. 

Care is taken to only remove a few plants, flowers, or branches, 

so plenty remains to continue the supply. 

Harvesters must designate the area they are harvesting, and 

provide a three-year history of the area that shows no 

prohibited substances have been applied there. 

A harvesting plan must demonstrate the harvest will sustain the 

wild crop.

MARINE BOTANICAL EXTRACTS 

Thalassotherapy is the ancient art which employs sea water and sea plants for 

therapeutic purposes. Sea water therapy has been used in Europe as a natural remedy 

to treat not only digestive, circulatory and arthritic conditions, but also to improve skin 

complexion. Marine botanicals, primarily from some of the thousands of species of 

seaweed, contain the same minerals and trace elements as sea water, but in higher 

concentrations, and with added vitamins, many of which are anti oxidants.

example, Carrubba’s Green Tea (85% Polyphenols) Extract 

B6574 is guaranteed to be at least 85% total polyphenols by 

weight, and within that 85% polyphenols, 46% will be EGCG 

(epigallocatechin-3-gallate). This standardization ensures you of 

receiving a known and constant amount of the compounds you’re 

looking for within each lot.

Tea Classes: 

Plant 

Description: 

Chemistry: 

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract 

Leaves 

The various types of teas all are made from the same 

plant and fall into three classes 

Green Tea - Fresh leaves dried 

Black Tea - Leaves are fermented, then dried 

Oolong Tea - Leaves are partially fermented, then dried 

The tea plant ranges in height from 3 to 40 feet and 

has small shiny, dark green leaves. The small, 

fragrant flowers have white petals, and the fruits 

contain one round, pale brown seed. The perennial 

evergreen is native to Asia and grows in a variety 

of climates throughout the world. 

Green Tea contains six classes of flavonoids, the most 

important being the flavonols. These flavonols are the 

most powerful natural antioxidants identified to date, 

superior to vitamins C and E and beta carotene. The 

most abundant and effective flavonols are: 

EGCG (epigallocatechin-3- gallate) Twenty times more 

potent than vitamin C 

ECG (epicatechin-3-gallate) 

EGC (epigallocatechin) 

EG (epicatechin) 

Green Tea 


Powerful anti-oxidant; scavenges free radicals 

Protects against epidermal edema; (3), Can reduce 

swelling/inflammation when applied topically. 

GTP constituents have been proven to reduce sun 

damage and photo-aging caused by UVA and 

UVB radiation exposure with topical use; (4) 

Inhibits tumor initiation and growth, including skin 

tumors when applied topically; (1,2)

GTP constituents when combined with topical 

formulations that contain traditional sunscreens 

may have additive or synergistic photoprotective 

effects when compared to either of these agents 

alone.

2,4-[dihydroxyphenyl]propyl)-3,4-bis(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,2-benzenediol from the root
