Sourcing and specification
Nettle Glycolic Extract originates from Germany and arrives in 1 L containers as a clear liquid. INCI lists Propylene Glycol (and) Water (and) Nettle (Urtica Dioica) Extract. The material shows full solubility in water, alcohol and glycerin, which simplifies integration into industrial batches. Glycolic Extracts Wholesale attract formulation teams that require repeatable botanical inputs for ongoing production. German origin provides documented traceability and batch consistency demanded by international buyers.
Technical parameters for formulation
Input levels range from 0.05 to 5 percent. Introduce the extract during the cooling stage while stirring continuously. Shelf life reaches December 2028 when kept in a cool dark location inside sealed containers. The 1 L pack size suits both pilot and medium-scale manufacturing runs.
Use in cosmetic laboratories
Formulators add the extract to serums, lotions and hair conditioners. It supports skin comfort after cleansing and contributes to a refreshed after-feel. International labs value compatibility with hyaluronic acid and plant oils for multi-benefit products. Transparent systems such as mists and toners remain clear after incorporation.
Stability at temperatures below 40 °C allows flexible processing schedules. Many teams combine the material with chelators to maintain clarity over shelf life.

Manufacturers purchase the extract as a botanical raw material for dietary supplements and functional foods. It appears in drink premixes, confectionery fillings and powdered blends at factories worldwide. Extracts Wholesale covers both cosmetic and food-grade volumes for contract manufacturers.
