Origin
Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis Flower Extract is sourced from the flowers of the Chinese hibiscus plant (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis). It is a tropical shrub native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated globally (especially in India, China, and tropical regions). Fresh or dried flowers are harvested, then extracted using water, glycerin, or gentle solvents to concentrate bioactive compounds like anthocyanins, flavonoids, and mucilage. This eco-friendly process yields a liquid or powder form compatible with natural and clean beauty formulations.
