Origin
Beta Vulgaris Root Extract is obtained from the roots of the beet plant (Beta vulgaris), cultivated worldwide for its edible roots. Fresh or dried roots are processed through water or solvent extraction (often glycerin-based) to concentrate bioactive compounds like betalains and polysaccharides. This gentle maceration preserves the extract's vibrant color and efficacy, delivering a liquid or powder form compatible with natural and organic cosmetics.
