Bhringraj Liquid Extract Cosmetic Grade is a versatile, water-soluble botanical extract derived from Eclipta prostrata (also known as Eclipta alba), a traditional Ayurvedic herb widely recognized for its use in hair and scalp-care preparations. Commonly referred to as the "King of Herbs for Hair," Bhringraj naturally contains beneficial botanical compounds such as wedelolactone, flavonoids, coumestans, and phenolic antioxidants. This extract is prepared using a glycerin-based extraction system containing vegetable glycerin, purified water, and phenoxyethanol as a preservative, without the use of alcohol. Vegetable glycerin functions as both an extraction solvent and a humectant, helping attract and retain moisture in the hair and skin. Bhringraj Liquid Extract is an excellent ingredient for shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, scalp serums, hair tonics, facial serums, moisturizers, and botanical skincare formulations. Traditionally valued in hair-care preparations, it helps condition the scalp, supports softer, smoother, healthier-looking hair, and contributes antioxidant and conditioning properties to cosmetic formulations. Its water-soluble composition makes it easy to incorporate into a wide variety of alcohol-free skincare and haircare products, particularly those designed for scalp conditioning, hair nourishment, hydration, and botanical antioxidant care.
