Celery Extract ●
TL;DR. This ingredient is used mainly as a botanical skin-conditioning extract, with secondary antioxidant and soothing-positioning roles depending on the extraction solvent and plant part used.
What does Celery Extract do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient is used mainly as a botanical skin-conditioning extract, with secondary antioxidant and soothing-positioning roles depending on the extraction solvent and plant part used.
Is Celery Extract clean?
From a clean-beauty perspective, it is generally acceptable, but it has more caveats than simple humectants or oils because botanical extracts can carry natural fragrance constituents and trace sensitizers. Standardization, allergen review, and supplier documentation matter here.
Is Celery Extract sustainable?
This material is plant-derived and expected to be readily biodegradable, with a lighter persistence profile than many synthetic film-formers or silicones. Its sustainability profile depends on agricultural practices, solvent choice, extraction yield, and whether the crop stream is purpose-grown or upcycled.
Is Celery Extract COSMOS-approved?
It can be permitted under COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic frameworks when sourced and extracted with allowed processes and solvents, and organic status depends on certified agricultural origin. It aligns reasonably well with Green Chemistry when made with water, glycerin, or ethanol extraction and supported by traceable farming.
How does Celery Extract work chemically?
This material is a complex plant extract that may contain sugars, amino acids, minerals, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and small variable amounts of furocoumarin-type compounds depending on the raw material and process. Typical cosmetic use is often in the 0.1% to 5% range, with addition during cool-down and adequate preservation because water-rich botanical extracts can add color, odor, and microbial load.
