They are water soluble, making them easy to use in water based products. They are not suitable for adding to purely oil-based formulations as they will separate.
- Plant matter is extracted into glycerine which extracts both water and fat-soluble ingredients. The glycerol extract is the preserved with potassium sorbate, a natural preservative, to give a shelf life of 2 years.
