Achillea Millefolium Extract is made by harvesting and drying the yarrow plant's flowers and leaves. These dried parts are first macerated in a solvent, such as ethanol or water, to extract the active compounds. The mixture is typically agitated to enhance extraction, followed by filtration to remove solid residues. The extract is then concentrated and purified to increase its potency. Finally, it is stabilized and packaged for use in cosmetics.
