Is Salvia Officinalis Extract COSMOS-approved?
It is permitted under COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic when sourced and extracted with allowed processes and solvents, with organic status depending on certified agricultural input. It fits Green Chemistry best when made from renewable plant material using water, ethanol, glycerin, or carbon dioxide extraction and controlled low-waste processing.
