Product Description
Sourcing specifications for nettle oil extract
Nettle oil extract originates from France where leaves of Urtica dioica undergo oil extraction at controlled temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees Celsius for 36 to 72 hours. The resulting 1 L pack yields an oily liquid listed under INCI Urtica extract oleum that remains fully soluble in lipid phases. Oil Extracts Wholesale supplies this grade to laboratories and factories seeking traceable botanical inputs for consistent batch production.
Handling parameters and dosage guidelines
Formulators add the extract at 0.05 to 5 percent in the active phase while keeping processing temperature below 40 degrees Celsius to preserve volatile components. The material integrates without altering viscosity of emulsions or anhydrous balms. Shelf life reaches December 2028 when stored in a cool dark location inside tightly sealed containers.
Integration into cosmetic laboratory workflows
Cosmetic labs incorporate the extract into facial serums and body lotions to refresh skin appearance and support surface comfort. Hair toners benefit from its ability to soften strands without residue buildup. Manufacturers often combine it with complementary lipid extracts to achieve balanced sensory profiles in finished goods. Apricot Oil Extract 1 L serves as a frequent partner in such lipid blends for improved spreadability.
Role as raw material for dietary supplements and food manufacturing
Supplement producers and food industry factories worldwide acquire the extract as botanical raw material for functional beverage premixes, confectionery fillings and dry nutritional blends. Private formulators and large-scale manufacturers both source retail and wholesale quantities for product development where neutral plant-derived components are required. Extracts Wholesale facilitates bulk procurement for continuous production schedules across multiple continents.
Practical B2B formulation example
A sample leave-on hair serum contains 65 percent jojoba oil, 20 percent sunflower oil, 8 percent nettle oil extract, 4 percent hydrogenated castor oil, 2 percent tocopherol and 1 percent fragrance. All ingredients are combined at 40 degrees Celsius under gentle agitation then cooled to room temperature before filling into amber glass bottles.
Stability and packaging considerations
The 1 L container protects contents from light exposure during transit and storage. After opening the recommended usage window is twelve months under proper conditions to maintain organoleptic qualities.
