Is Sanctum Leaf Extract sustainable?
It is plant-derived and typically biodegradable, with a sourcing profile that depends on agricultural practices, solvent choice, and extract concentration. Water, glycerin, or ethanol-based extracts have a stronger sustainability profile than extracts made with less preferred solvents.
Is Sanctum Leaf Extract COSMOS-approved?
It is generally compatible with COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic standards when produced from approved plant material using permitted extraction solvents. It fits Green Chemistry best when the feedstock is responsibly grown and the extraction uses water, glycerin, or ethanol with minimal processing.
How does Sanctum Leaf Extract work chemically?
This material is a complex mixture of plant polyphenols, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and volatile constituents rather than a single molecule. Typical use levels are often around 0.1% to 5% depending on extract strength, and it is best protected from excess heat, light, and air to limit oxidation and color or odor drift.
