Arnica Hydroglycolic Extract: Composition, Uses and Bulk Price

The hydroglycolic extract of arnica is a substance used in cosmetics. It is mainly composed of arnica, a plant known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, combined with glycerin, a moisturiser that helps maintain skin hydration. It may also contain other ingredients such as water and alcohol. This guide covers what this extract is, how it is obtained, what it is commonly used for in skincare, and what to check when sourcing it in bulk from a B2B supplier such as Royal Bio.

What Is Arnica Hydroglycolic Extract?

Arnica (Arnica montana) is a plant whose flower heads are traditionally used in topical preparations. The hydroglycolic extract is obtained by macerating or extracting the plant with a mixture of glycerin and water, resulting in a liquid extract that combines glycerin with the plant's active compounds.

This hydroglycolic extraction method makes it easier to incorporate the extract into the aqueous phase of a cosmetic formula, without needing alcoholic solvents.
