ENVIRONMENT
Our extraction process and ingredients are environmentally friendly, including by products.
SOLVENTS
Water and glycerin as the solvents do not denature the botanical properties
Water is one of the only substances that can penetrate plant cell membranes and extract a multitude of beneficial bioactive botanical compounds such as, proteins, amino acids, peptides, enzymes, minerals, vitamins B & C, nucleotides, etc.
Glycerin has a high degree of extractive versatility including the removal of numerous constituents and complex compounds with and extractive power rivaling water and alcohol. Glycerin retains considerably stronger compounds than alcohol-based tinctures. Glycerin extracts several bioactive compounds: vitamins, enzymes, waxes, proteins, resins amino acids, etc. Glycerin is also an excellent natural preservative.
When appropriate, we utilize enzyme assisted extraction methods for enhanced extraction of bioactive compounds.
MATERIALS
We use raw plant material for increased bioactive yield. Raw plant material hasn’t been denatured during the drying process.
We use USDA Certified organic plant material
Organic plants are grown in healthier soil and will not contain harmful chemical residues such as pesticides, herbicides.
