Oil-Soluble Liquid Extracts: Concentrated Botanicals for Lipid-Based Formulations
An oil-soluble liquid extract is a concentrated botanical extract produced in a lipid-compatible carrier medium — typically medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), sunflower oil, or a fractionated vegetable oil — selected specifically for compatibility with oil-based formulation systems. The defining property is complete dispersibility in carrier oils and lipid matrices: these extracts integrate directly into softgel fills, oil-based serums, balms, and lipid-phase cosmetic formulations without precipitation or stratification.
This collection covers oil-soluble liquid extracts across the botanical range Herbuno supplies — fat-soluble actives, essential oil concentrates, lipid-compatible adaptogens, and oil-phase cosmetic botanicals. The extraction solvent and carrier system vary by product and are disclosed on each individual product CoA. As new oil-soluble liquid extract formats are developed and added to the range, they will appear here.
Before ordering — check the carrier system: Carrier oils across this
collection include MCT, sunflower, and fractionated vegetable oils 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 — MCT-free, allergen-free carrier, or a preferred lipid base
— confirm the carrier for your specific product before placing a bulk order. Samples are
available on request. For the science behind liquid extract formats and lipid-phase

// Who Uses Oil-Soluble Liquid Extracts
Built for Softgel Manufacturers, Lipid Cosmetic Formulators, and Oil-Based Supplement Brands
Softgel & Lipid-Based Supplement Manufacturers
Oil-soluble liquid extracts disperse directly into softgel fill matrices — MCT, sunflower, olive oil, or proprietary lipid blends — without requiring additional emulsification steps. Evaluate viscosity, clarity, and compatibility with your fill system before bulk commitment. Samples with CoA available on request. Specify your lipid base and target inclusion rate at enquiry stage.
Softgel Fill
Lipid Matrix
MCT-Compatible
Oil-Based Supplement
Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulators
Oil-phase extracts add directly to the lipid phase of balms, facial oils, serums, creams, and anhydrous formulations. Confirm viscosity and inclusion rate with your emulsion system before ordering in bulk. Carrier oil type is stated on each product CoA — specify any allergen or carrier restrictions at enquiry stage to avoid cross-formulation issues.
Oil Phase
Facial Oil & Serum
Balm & Salve
Anhydrous Formulation
Nutraceutical & Functional Food Brands
Fat-soluble botanical actives — carotenoids, fat-soluble vitamins, lipid-compatible adaptogens — require an oil carrier for bioavailability and stability. Oil-soluble liquid extracts suit lipid-based gummies, chewables, and oil-drop formats. State your intended application format at enquiry and we will confirm carrier compatibility and regulatory documentation available for your market.

// Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What carrier oil is used — MCT, sunflower, olive, or another lipid base?
+
The carrier oil varies by product and botanical. Products in this collection use MCT oil, sunflower oil, or fractionated vegetable oil carriers depending on the solubility characteristics of the target compounds and the intended application. The carrier type is stated on each product's CoA and individual product listing. If your formulation, regulatory framework, label claim, or allergen policy requires a specific carrier — MCT-only, sunflower-free, or a particular lipid base — state this at enquiry stage and we will confirm which products meet your specification. Samples with full CoA are available before bulk commitment.
Can oil-soluble extracts be emulsified into water-based formulations?
+
Oil-soluble extracts are not directly water-miscible and will phase-separate in aqueous systems without an emulsifier. If your formulation is water-based — beverages, tinctures, aqueous serums — you require either a water-soluble extract (see our Water-Soluble Liquid Extracts collection) or an emulsification step using a suitable emulsifier such as lecithin, polysorbate 80, or a self-emulsifying system. Liposomal or nano-emulsion formats can also achieve water dispersibility from an oil-soluble base — contact us if you require guidance on format options for your application.
What is the shelf life and how should oil-soluble extracts be stored?
+
Shelf life is 12–24 months from the manufacturing date stated on the CoA, depending on the carrier oil and specific extract. Storage: cool and dark place, below 25°C, tightly sealed and away from light and air exposure. Oxidation is the primary stability risk for oil-based extracts — products sensitive to oxidation will be noted on the CoA. Do not freeze. Once opened, reseal tightly, minimise headspace, and use within a reasonable timeframe. Antioxidant stabilisers such as tocopherol are present in some products — stated on CoA where applicable.
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 viscosity, colour, odour, carrier compatibility, and inclusion rate in your formulation matrix before committing to volume.
