PLANT EXTRACTS
13
PLANT EXTRACTS
Plant extracts
• The plant extracts are preparations obtained through a specific solvent’s extractive action on a dry or
fresh plant. They contain the plant’s active components dissolved in the solvent.
• The extraction process is always studied in order to completely respect the active molecules’ integrity.
Each type of extract is therefore defined by its mode of preparation and the nature of its solvent
Eco-responsible policy, 100% natural
• In compliance with its eco-responsible policy and in respect of the plant resource, Alban Muller
develops its eco-designed plants extracts, 100% natural, they are obtained thanks to environmentally
clean and exclusive processes particularly suitable for the extraction and the preservation of active
molecules.
• No preservatives
• Natural solvents
• Plant-origin supports
• No petrochemical derivatives
