Is Wine Extract COSMOS-approved?
It is generally compatible with COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic standards when produced from approved agricultural inputs using allowed extraction and preservation methods. It fits Green Chemistry best when made with water, glycerin, or compliant ethanol and with minimal processing.
How does Wine Extract work chemically?
This material is a complex aqueous or hydroalcoholic extract containing polyphenols, tannins, organic acids, sugars, minerals, and small aroma compounds. It is usually used at low cosmetic extract levels, and formulators manage color shift, odor, oxidation of phenolics, and preservation compatibility, especially in water-based systems.
