Nautica Bulbine Frutescens Glycerite is a gentle, water-soluble botanical extract in a glycerine base, designed for easy use in toners, gels, serums, light creams, and other water-phase cosmetic formulations. It is a simple way to add a plant-based element to everyday skin care products without complicating your process, which makes it useful for both beginners and experienced makers. Because it is water-phase compatible, it can be added directly to suitable formulations and works well in both leave-on and rinse-off products. This is a cosmetic formulation ingredient intended for external use only.
♡ Why we love it: This is the kind of ingredient that makes formulation feel approachable. It is easy to work with, versatile across a wide range of product types, and fits especially well into simple, light, plant-focused formulas.
