Origin
Viola Tricolor Extract comes from the wild pansy plant (scientific name: Viola tricolor) which is known for its vibrant flowers and various health benefits when used in traditional herbal medicine. The preparation process of the plant includes harvesting parts of the plant such as the flowers, leaves and stems - which are first dried. This dried plant material undergoes extraction using solvents such as water, glycerin, or alcohol. Further, the extract is filtered to remove impurities and is concentrated to achieve the desired potency.
