Betulin Lab announces successful birch bark extract production using ethanol as an organic solvent; birch bark extract is used for its anti-inflammatory properties in skin care and health products

February 13, 2024 (press release) –

 

In a significant stride towards sustainable and eco-friendly cosmetic ingredients, Betulin Lab, a part of Latvijas Finieris Group, proudly announces the successful adaptation of ethanol as an organic solvent for the production of birch bark extract. After six months of dedicated research, the lab has received the prestigious COSMOS Ecocert Approval certificate, signifying a major advancement in the cosmetic industry. 

 

Birch bark extract has long been valued for its numerous health and skincare benefits, containing the biologically active triterpenes betulin, betulinic acid and lupeol, known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-ageing properties. However, traditional extraction methods often involve the use of solvents that may have environmental and health implications. 

The Betulin Lab team recognised the need for a more sustainable approach and embarked on a comprehensive research project. The focus was on finding an alternative solvent that would not compromise the quality of the birch bark extract while aligning with eco-friendly standards. 

After extensive experimentation, the researchers zeroed in on ethanol, a natural and renewable solvent known for its low environmental impact. The COSMOS Ecocert Approval, a highly respected certification in the cosmetic industry, underscores the lab’s commitment to producing natural and environmentally responsible cosmetic ingredients. The certification ensures that the birch bark extract meets strict organic and sustainable sourcing criteria, manufacturing processes, and overall product quality.
