Rosemary Clear Liquid Extract — Rosmarinus officinalis — Cosmetic Grade
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is one of the most versatile and well-studied botanical actives in cosmetic formulation. Long prized in traditional herbal medicine across the Mediterranean, it has earned a firm place in modern skincare science through a growing body of evidence supporting its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and scalp-stimulating properties.
This clear liquid extract delivers the key bioactive compounds of Rosmarinus officinalis — including rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid, carnosol, and ursolic acid — in a ready-to-use, water-soluble form for direct incorporation into the water phase of serums, toners, scalp treatments, moisturizers, and multi-functional formulations.
Professional cosmetic ingredient — not a finished product.
