Horsetail Glycerin Extract (Equisetum Extract) in Bulk

Horsetail glycerin extract, also known as Equisetum arvense glycerin extract, is a cosmetic raw material obtained by glycerin maceration of the horsetail plant. This technical guide covers what the ingredient is, how it is produced through the glycerin extraction process, and its main applications in professional cosmetic formulation, helping labs and artisan soap makers assess it for new formulas.

What is horsetail glycerin extract?

Horsetail glycerin extract is obtained by macerating Equisetum arvense in a blend of water and vegetable glycerin, a gentle process that draws out the plant's water-soluble compounds without harsh solvents. The resulting liquid is a stable ingredient composed of glycerin and horsetail extract, easy to incorporate into the aqueous phase of emulsions, gels and toners.

Its glycerin-based profile makes it compatible with a wide range of cosmetic formulations, offering a versatile botanical base for both conventional cosmetics and natural or organic-oriented lines seeking alternatives to hydroalcoholic extracts.

Main cosmetic uses of horsetail extract

Toner and lotion formulation. Horsetail glycerin extract is commonly added to the aqueous phase of facial toners and body lotions, thanks to its easy solubility and compatibility with other water-soluble actives.

Hair care development. This extract is used in shampoos, conditioners and hair treatments formulated to give the hair fiber a fuller, more polished visual appearance, blending easily into mild surfactant bases.

Skin creams and emulsions. In facial and body creams, horsetail extract is added during the aqueous phase of emulsification, acting as a natural botanical ingredient within formulas aimed at skin that benefits from a balancing routine.

Natural cosmetics and artisan soap making. Thanks to its plant origin and glycerin base, it is valued by soap makers and natural cosmetic formulators looking for traceable extracts for clean-label products.
