Chrysanthemum Brown Liquid Extract

The Ancient Skin-Calming Botanical — Now in Your Formula

Chrysanthemum has been used in traditional Eastern medicine for thousands of years to cool, calm, and restore balance. Modern cosmetic science has caught up — and it turns out those ancient healers were onto something. Rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and skin-conditioning compounds, Chrysanthemum extract is one of the most effective botanicals for stressed, reactive, and uneven-toned skin.

This is the brown/natural-colour version — minimally processed to preserve the full spectrum of active botanical compounds. The amber hue is a sign of its richness, not a flaw. If you're making creams, lotions, masks, or body products where a natural colour is welcome, this is the one to reach for.

Why This Extract Belongs in Your Formula

• Calms redness & skin stress — soothes reactive, irritated, and inflamed skin
• Rich in antioxidants — protects skin from environmental damage and oxidative stress
• Evens skin tone — helps reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation and dullness
• Skin-conditioning — leaves skin feeling balanced, soft, and comfortable
• Water-soluble — blends easily into the water phase of any formula
• Natural amber colour — adds botanical richness to creams, masks, and body products

What Can You Make With It?

Best suited for formulas where a natural colour is not a concern:

• Calming face creams & moisturizers
• Soothing face masks & wash-off treatments
• Body lotions & after-sun products
• Anti-redness & rosacea-support serums
• Scalp treatments & hair tonics
• Botanical-rich toners for oily or acne-prone skin

New to DIY Skincare? Here's How Easy This Is

Add this extract to the water phase of your formula, or during cool-down below 40°C / 104°F for hot-process emulsions. Use at 1.0% to 10.0% of your total formula weight. In a 100g batch, that's just 1g–10g. It dissolves easily and gets to work right away.

Tip: If you're making a clear toner, gel serum, or any formula where colour matters, choose our Chrysanthemum Clear Liquid Extract instead.
