Botanical extraction has always played a central role in cosmetic ingredient development. However, the industry is now moving beyond conventional extraction methods and looking for approaches that combine naturality, performance and environmental responsibility.
Green extraction technologies are gaining interest because they can help reduce solvent use, energy consumption and process complexity while supporting more responsible cosmetic innovation.
For ingredient suppliers, this shift creates an opportunity to rethink not only the active molecules being extracted, but also the extraction medium and the process itself.
