Sourcing and specifications
Sweet Grass Glycolic Extract 1 L is produced in Germany from Hierochloe odorata using glycol extraction. The liquid form Zubrovka glycolic extractum meets INCI requirements for cosmetic and food-grade raw material. Glycolic Extracts Wholesale buyers value consistent batch quality and reliable supply chains for international projects. This extract preserves key compounds including coumarins, flavonoids and essential oils through careful processing that maintains natural character without excessive heat.
Key properties for formulations
The extract is fully water-soluble and added to cooling emulsions under gentle stirring. It contributes a mild herbal note and supports skin comfort in leave-on products. No additional solubilizers are required in aqueous systems. Its compatibility with common cosmetic bases allows formulators to create stable products across multiple categories including facial care and body applications. Industrial labs appreciate the predictable behavior during scale-up from bench to production tanks.
Use in dietary supplements and food production
Manufacturers of dietary supplements and functional beverages source the extract as a botanical ingredient. Confectionery plants incorporate it in small percentages to develop distinctive flavor profiles in drinks, functional bars and specialty foods. Both private formulators and industrial facilities purchase 1 L units for pilot and full-scale production. The material serves as a versatile component for supplement blends where a natural herbal accent is desired without altering texture or stability of the final matrix.
Dosage guidelines and processing
Typical cosmetic usage level is 2-8 %. Introduction occurs below 40 °C in the water phase. A sensitivity patch test is recommended prior to full-scale use. The product remains stable when stored according to label instructions. Food industry applications usually employ lower percentages depending on desired intensity and local regulations governing botanical additives in edible goods.

Storage and shelf life
Keep in a cool dry place in closed packaging until December 2028. Minor caking or sediment does not affect performance and can be resolved by gentle agitation before use. Proper conditions preserve the aromatic and compositional integrity over the entire declared period.
