Basil Extract

Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Flower/Leaf Extract · Ocimum Basilicum Flower/Leaf Extract · Ocimum Basilicum ExtractAntioxidant

A sweet-basil extract containing aromatic phenolics (eugenol, rosmarinic acid) used as a plant antioxidant in formulas.

What it does

Basil extract is drawn from the flowering tops and leaves of Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil). It contains a mix of phenolic compounds — rosmarinic acid, eugenol, methyl chavicol — that contribute antioxidant activity and a faint aromatic note. It is a supporting plant antioxidant, typically used alongside other botanicals rather than as the headline ingredient in a formula.
