Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) Extract
Common Forms: Aqueous extract, glycerite, or oil-based infusion
Harvesting & Selection
- Fresh, fully mature cucumbers are handpicked, thoroughly washed, and then sliced or crushed. High-quality fruits with minimal blemishes are preferred for maximum potency and purity.
Pulping
- The cucumbers are mechanically pulped to break down cell walls, facilitating the release of bioactive constituents such as vitamins, polyphenols, and enzymes.
Filtration
- The resulting juice is filtered to remove insoluble fibers and particulates, yielding a clean, hydrating base extract.
