● What is Rosemary Extract ?
Rosemary extract powder is made from the dried leaves of the Lamiaceae plant Rosmarinus officinalis as the main raw material and is extracted through modern technology. Rosemary is native to the Mediterranean coast and is now widely planted around the world. Xinjiang, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places in China have become important production areas due to their suitable climate. In 2022, the planting area reached 150,000 acres, an increase of more than 100% over 2018. Our raw materials must be selected from pollution-free, mature leaves with high active ingredient content to ensure the antioxidant efficacy and safety of the extract.
