Key Properties & Benefits

  • Oil-phase antioxidant
  • Supplied cosmetic grade with a Certificate of Analysis for every batch.

Uses & Applications

Rosemary Leaf Extract – Antioxidant Grade is used in every water-containing format — cleansers, toners, serums, creams, masks and hair care.

Typical applications from the catalogue record: Oils, balms, natural products.

As a formulation essential it is specified by function rather than by claim, and the level is set by the performance the formula needs rather than by a marketing target.

Handling note: Add to the oil phase and protect from prolonged heat and air exposure.

How to Use — Recommended Use Level

Typical use level No single published figure applies to every grade of this material. As a working rule, start water-phase actives at 0.5–2%, oil-phase actives at 1–5%, standardised or potent isolates at 0.05–0.5%, and supplier-diluted solutions at the percentage the technical data sheet specifies. Always confirm the exact level against the supplier TDS, your stability and compatibility testing, and the safety assessment for your finished product.
Recommended pH formulation-dependent
Addition phase As per the supplier technical data sheet
Solubility Oil-soluble. Add to the oil phase; will not disperse in water without a solubiliser or emulsifier.

No single published use level applies to every grade of this material, so the figure above is a general starting rule rather than a specification.

General rule: always begin at the lower end of the range, confirm the level against the supplier technical data sheet, and validate stability, pH, colour, odour and preservative efficacy on the finished formulation before scaling up.

Technical Notes

Deodorised grades avoid contributing rosemary odour to the finished product.

Regulatory Note

Supplier diligence required: Exact INCI, plant part, solvent and allergen profile verification.

Sold as a cosmetic raw material for professional formulation. A published INCI name does not by itself authorise use: the buyer is responsible for confirming permitted status, maximum concentration, restrictions by product type, labelling and claim rules in every market the finished product is sold in. In India, cosmetics fall under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 and the Cosmetics Rules 2020 administered by CDSCO, with BIS standards (including IS 4707 Part 2) listing restricted substances. The EU applies Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and its Annexes; the United States applies the FD&C Act as amended by MoCRA; Korea, Japan and China operate their own positive lists and functional-cosmetic frameworks. Every finished product needs its own safety assessment.

Disclaimer & Caution in Use

For external cosmetic use in professionally formulated products only. This is a concentrated raw material, not a finished cosmetic, and it is not intended for undiluted application to skin, for ingestion, or for any medicinal purpose. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling, avoid raising dust with powders, and keep out of reach of children and pets. Always run a patch test on the finished formulation, and validate stability, compatibility, pH and preservative efficacy before sale. Information supplied is offered in good faith as formulation guidance and does not constitute a safety assessment, a regulatory approval or a medical claim.

Low-pH material. Can cause burns to skin and eyes in concentrated form. Add to water, never water to acid; neutralise carefully and confirm the final pH of the finished product. Products formulated at low pH increase sun sensitivity — a daily sunscreen instruction is expected on the finished pack.

Fine powder — avoid generating and inhaling dust. Use local exhaust ventilation or a suitable respirator when weighing, and wet the powder into the formulation phase rather than dry-blending in open air.

How to work with it

1 Check the phase before you weigh

The specification's Add at row is the one to read first. Water-phase materials added to a hot oil phase are the most common reason a batch separates.

2 Hold the pH inside the stated range

Measure the finished product, not the premix. Outside the range the activity drops away and, for some materials, the degradation route is what causes complaints.

3 Start at the bottom of the use level

Then work up through stability and compatibility testing. Higher is not better, and the destination market's limit may sit below your formulation ceiling.
