Water-Soluble Liquid Extracts: Concentrated Botanicals for Aqueous Formulations
A water-soluble liquid extract is a concentrated botanical extract produced in a liquid carrier medium — water, glycerin, hydroalcoholic, or propylene glycol — selected specifically for compatibility with aqueous formulation systems. The key property is complete water miscibility: these extracts integrate directly into beverages, tinctures, oral liquids, and water-based cosmetic formulations without phase separation or sedimentation.
This collection covers water-soluble liquid extracts across the full botanical range Herbuno supplies — adaptogens, Ayurvedic herbs, fruit and vegetable extracts, functional botanicals, and cosmetic actives. The extraction solvent and carrier system vary by product and are disclosed on each individual product CoA. As new liquid extract formats are developed and added to the range, they will appear here.
Before ordering — check the carrier system: Extraction solvents across this
collection include hydroalcoholic, propylene glycol, water, and glycerin depending on the
botanical and intended application. The carrier system is stated on the individual product
CoA and product listing. If your formulation, regulatory framework, or label claim has
specific carrier restrictions — alcohol-free, PG-free, or glycerin-only — confirm the
carrier for your specific product before placing a bulk order. Samples are available
on request. For the science behind liquid extract formats, see

// Who Uses Water-Soluble Liquid Extracts
Built for Beverage Brands, Cosmetic Formulators, and Tincture Producers
Functional Beverage & RTD Brands
Water-miscible liquid extracts integrate directly into beverages, shots, teas, and functional waters without cloudiness or sedimentation. Evaluate concentration and sensory profile at your target inclusion rate before bulk commitment — samples with CoA available on request.
RTD Beverages
Functional Shots
Herbal Tea Concentrate
Functional Water
Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulators
Water and glycerin-based extracts add directly to the aqueous phase of serums, toners, mists, and emulsions. Confirm pH compatibility and inclusion rate with your system before ordering in bulk. Carrier system is stated on each product CoA — specify any carrier restrictions at enquiry stage.
Aqueous Phase
Serum & Toner
Facial Mist
Cosmetic Active
Supplement & Tincture Brands
Liquid dietary supplements, oral drops, and herbal tinctures. Carrier system varies by product — glycerin-based extracts suit alcohol-free positioning; hydroalcoholic extracts follow traditional tincture convention. State your carrier requirement at enquiry and we will confirm suitable products.

// Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What carrier system is used — water, glycerin, alcohol, or propylene glycol?
+
The carrier system varies by product and botanical. Products in this collection use hydroalcoholic, glycerin, propylene glycol, or water carriers depending on the solubility characteristics of the target compounds and the intended application. The extraction solvent and carrier are stated on each product's CoA and individual product listing. If your formulation, regulatory framework, or label claim requires a specific carrier — alcohol-free, PG-free, or glycerin-only — state this requirement at enquiry stage and we will confirm which products in the collection meet your specification. Samples with full CoA are available before bulk commitment.
How do I calculate the dry weight equivalent dose from a liquid extract?
+
Request the extraction ratio and total dissolved solids (TDS) from the CoA alongside the specific gravity. If a 5:1 extract has a specific gravity of 1.021 and a TDS of approximately 12%, then 1 mL contains roughly 0.12 g of dissolved botanical solids — equivalent to approximately 0.6 g of raw plant material at 5:1 concentration. For formulations where a specific dry extract equivalent dose is required on label, provide your target at enquiry stage and we will calculate the corresponding liquid volume.
What is the shelf life and how should liquid extracts be stored?
+
Shelf life is 12–24 months from the manufacturing date stated on the CoA, depending on the carrier system and specific extract. Storage: cool and dark place, below 25°C, tightly sealed. Glycerin-based extracts are inherently more stable than water-only extracts. Hydroalcoholic extracts should be stored away from heat and light. Once opened, reseal tightly and use within a reasonable timeframe — do not freeze, as this can alter concentration and carrier homogeneity on thawing.
What is the MOQ and can I get a sample before bulk ordering?
+
Standard MOQ varies by product — contact us with your specific product requirement for a precise figure. Samples are available before bulk commitment and will be supplied with the full per-lot CoA and SDS for the sample batch. This allows you to evaluate sensory profile, carrier compatibility, and inclusion rate in your formulation matrix before committing to volume.
