Botanical Extracts – Amjad and Zarar Nuc
What Are Botanical Extracts?
Botanical extracts are concentrated plant-based actives obtained through processes such as solvent extraction, steam distillation, or cold pressing. They are rich in vitamins, flavonoids, phenols, and essential oils that support skin regeneration, reduce irritation, strengthen hair, and offer natural fragrance. These ingredients help formulators create clean-label, organic, and natural products with targeted skincare benefits and appealing sensory profiles.
At Amjad and Zarar Nuc, we provide standardized extracts with consistent quality, backed by safety data and global cosmetic compliance.
