Cucumis Sativus Extract is made by harvesting fresh cucumber fruits. The cucumbers are washed, peeled, and then crushed to release their juices. This juice undergoes a cold-press extraction or solvent extraction process to isolate the beneficial compounds. The resulting liquid is filtered to remove any solid particles, producing a clear extract. It may then be concentrated through evaporation.
