Origin
Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract is made by harvesting and drying the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree - one of the oldest living tree species. The dried leaves are ground into a fine powder and subjected to an extraction process using solvents like water, ethanol, or glycerin to dissolve bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and terpenoids. The extract is then filtered to remove plant residues, concentrated, and standardized to ensure consistent levels of active ingredients. Finally, it is dried into a powder or retained as a liquid for cosmetic formulations.
