Beauties, have you ever made oxytocin? I am very curious about this. How is it extracted from ergot fungus? I really want to extract it myself. Can you teach me?
I think the best way is to take whatever you wanna extract and then ferment it aerobically with yeast. Yeast breaks down the plants more than boiling, releasing more medicinal compounds into solution via osmosis, until eventually, the liquid saturating the fermented plant material is equal to the saturation of the surrounding liquid. It also prevents heat loss of medicinal compounds and oxidization. Then, once the liquid is fermented completely, it can be further refined via fractional distillation, or by extracting with solvents. And these extracts can be studied and developed into medicines. Is how you practice medicine.
@JohnA-bear idk. That's how cocaine was discovered. And laudanum, old alchemical texts give a lot of the basis of things that became integrated into modern sciences. But the discovery and extraction of cocaine and psilocybin are really good examples of this. I ferment things because I find it to be the best way in personal experience.... but in my mind, I'm just doing what Albert Hoffman did with Maria Sabina... and with ergot. Albeit with different organisms. Fermentation leads to diethylamine and other things like acytelaldehyde.. which, on their own in trace ammounts in beer, aren't very noticeable, but when combined with alkaloids found in, say, ephedra... it creates chemical analouges of ephedrine which are much better than just pure ephedrine. LSD: My Problem Child, by Albert Hoffman will give you a general idea of organic chemistry. There isn't as much lab work involved. It's a lot of brainstorming, really.

20% water and 80% glycerin? so it makes a 100 gm extract of 10-gram herb? am i correct? and can we add that in the same percentage of glycerin to the products to get the benefit of an extract in the creams or lotions?
Hi Monika, no this is not correct - please contact me for the details of how the extract was made in writing, because it is 20% extract at the end made up with water. Different extracts will yield different volumes that then need to be made up to 20%. No, adding straight glycerin won't give you the same benefits as the extract - and definitely not the 'marketing' benefits. Please email us for full details: info@personalcarescience.com.au they're free and available for you.
Very interesting! Can we also apply same method with concentrated powdered extracts instead of the herb powder? And do we then need to resolve the powder in same way or can it be done without boiling?

can we use this method for hibiscus leaf extraction for antibacterial activity in well diffusion method ? please tell me the easiest way for preparing plant leaf extraction.
You could use this method for leaf extraction - they should be dried and crushed first for best extraction. You would then need to check the antibacterial efficacy of your particular extract using the source and method you have used.

Your video was very informative and helped me make my first extract using dried lavender flowers and grain alcohol. It worked and now I can use it for so many things! I make lavender flavored cupcakes, and bath bombs, and perfumes! Thank you!
So, when extracting via these methods, you include these items in the ingredients list, but you cannot include them in any marketing copy as a part of your marketing story? For example, if I do a rosemary extract in a hair growth formula, I cannot directly name the rosemary because I wouldn't have tested my homemade extract to know the true efficacy of it?

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been reading about extracts and this is one of the best tutorials I've come across. But I'm a bit confused about the percentages. If I'm not mistaken your ethanol extract was 10% concentrate, 50% added ethanol, and 40% water. Is that correct? Was the glycerin extract also based on a 10% concentrate (10% concentrate, 10% added water, 80% glycerin)?
No - the thing is that when you mix the herb with the ethanol or water, you don't get a 'known' amount of ethanol or water back - so you can't determine how much of the starting ethanol or water is still present at the end. You can determine the extract amount, which is what you obtain - this differs for each type of herbal extract you make, so you can't write these % as 'general' or 'standard'. You will need to add different proportions of ethanol or water after filtering each time, even with the same herb (although you will see certain herbs soak more of the starting substance than others). So you need to filter out then make up to the amount listed in the formula sheet. You can, batch by batch (herb by herb) record this to be accurate for ingredient listing, but its not something I can provide as a general standard for you - it totally depends on how much liquid you get back from that initial filtration step. It is a case by case basis depending on the herbs you use and will also have some batch to batch variation, not the generalisations. I hope this makes sense, record it carefully and you would be able to calculate it correctly for each batch at the end, but it is never a generalisation.
@@CatarinaMota This isn't really accurate. As an herbalist, we determine this regularly without watering down the final extract. It defeats the purpose of using the initial menstruum, which is specifically mixed to a ratio necessary to pull the appropriate constituents out of the plant materials. We measure everything before we make the extracts and then measure everything after, and therefore are absolutely able to make a determination about percentages. If you're using 190 proof without any added water and doing a 1:2 ratio, you wouldn't need to add ANY water at the end. You only need for a final ratio to be 25% in order for it to be truly shelf stable. Most tinctures you buy commercially are about 40 to 60 percent because they're made using fresh plant material or a lower alcohol content to begin with. That said, this final product will be much, much higher than that since your starting herb (green tea in this case) was fully dried. There's no water to pull from the plant and none added, so it's nearly still 190. Further, you need to put all of that green tea in the filter and press it out to get all the constituents and goodness from that extract. We press our marcs to get every last drop of that liquid gold out!
You would use them the same as any other extract, up to 5% can be added to most formula bases without an issue; you could use less for marketing claims. You could also send extracts for in vivo testing to find out if there are benefits to your particular extract and then use the amount proven through in vivo testing. Hope this helps!
No you wouldn't in this case, there would be no benefit and it would be cost prohibitive.

Thank you for sharing this. This is indeed an informative and heplful video, however, I would like to ask if this is extraction method is strictly for cosmetic products only.
This was very informative, thankyou. Could you use a cold process method with glycerin, self preserving, using 80% glycerin and some distilled water, infused over some time?
I keep my herbs in extravirgin olive oil, coz it doesnt smell strong. Second method you demonstrated, worked well for me but i dint add glycerine in it. I added distilled water and preserved it with sodium benzoate. Offcourse shelf life wont b for 3 yrs. 4-6 months of life for extract is good for me . Your videos are really good and so knowledgeable. I have improved some of my recipes after gaining knowledge from you.thank you so much!!
Hi! I was wondering why adding glycerin would make the product self-preserving? As far as I know, anything with water in it would require a preservative. Glycerin is also a humectant that would attract water into the product. Wouldn't this extract require a preservative? Thanks!
After ethanol extraction why dilute it with water? Why not leave extract as is and for the usage simply dilute it in the cup of water right before taking the extract?
Hi All, can the dried goods with the glycerin be gently heated in a sealed jar in order to avoid boiling and destroying active components before straining? Not sure if this is thicky question😅.x
Hi Belinda, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Can be used 99.9% pure isopropyl alcohol Instead of ethanol? I read that it can be use in cosmetic too. Thank you
Not to make extracts, no, because it may not be compatible with all formulas you create - especially where salt is present. I would recommend you stick to ethanol as it does not then interact with some materials unfavourably.
You can use dry flowers the same way we used the herbal extracts, please follow the same formula. Contact us for full details: info@personalcarescience.com.au
Very interesting, a few questions... Can you use Coffee filters? So you say gently boiling.. what temperature? Also do you leave it on the stove on same heat/temperature for 2 hours? Thanks! Do you have also a post on maceration with oil?

I'm a bit confused...in both of these how-to explanations you describe the process but not the ratio of completed extract to final product? If I use 10g of plant and 20g of alcohol initially, then drain off the extract (the amount of which will vary by herb absorption), how much will that make? I get that we're adding water and more alcohol in certain percentages, but of what total? 10 times the plant materials initial weight? If I used 10 g of plant, would I end up with 100 g of final product? Or do I measure the final extract weight and consider that 10%? Or is it 5% or what? I didn't catch what ratio we're adding to either product 🤷🏻♀️

hi, my question is to 1. Why did you boil the herb before adding glycerin? 2. What if the plant is heat sensitive, does it mean we can't use the glycerin method?
Hi Chancey I heated the herb to extract components from it faster. This method also pasteurises the water portion because the addition of glycerin enables rapid cooling (its not pasteurisation if it is not cooled rapidly after heating). If you want to make a cold extract, you'd have to use ethanol because herbs are fantastic micro-organism growth sources if not treated effectively.
Thank you for posting this video. I have no interest in turning this into a business but I do grow more herbs than I need for my own needs and I thought it might be nice to make gifts up for friends and family and some of my herbs smell quite nice but not if they are not preserved. I was going to make potpourri as well but that won't last as long as an extract and not all my herbs do well as potpourri. This is going to be a nice addition to what I am already doing.
You would use a similar method but please remember using oil will only extract the oil soluble components of the plant. Please email us for full formulation, method and supplier details: info@personalcarescience.com.au we provide this free. Happy formulating!
What are some specific plants that are suited for oil maceration? I understand that this will only extract the oil soluble active components of the plant as you mentioned already in a comment below. I'd love to know which ones are worth doing with oil.
Any plants that yield essentail oils will respond to maceration well - but you can try other herbs as well - arnica, chamomile, calendula - but there are loads of other materials that you could create that would be more unique! That's the fun part of R&D - exploring and working with different materials to create unique and innovative substances - just check their history of safety carefully when exploring newer materials. Happy formulating!

I heard alcohol is a better solvent and can therefore extract more from herbs than glycerin. However, since alcohol is an irritant I don't want to include it in formulations. Can I dehydrate the alcohol-based extract or should I just stick with glycerin?
Hi Shivani, Dehydrating the alcohol out is how they make powdered extracts - you could try solving them in glycerin once dehydrated - it may work or it may not, you’d need to make samples to see. Alternatively, make it easy and use the glycerin but yes, alcohol does get more of the active constituents into the extract. Happy Formulating!

This is very helpful, thank you so much! Why is the colour difference between the two different methods?

@@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401 its the same herb.
20% water and 80% glycerin? so it makes a 100 gm extract of 10-gram herb? am i correct? and can we add that in the same percentage of glycerin to the products to get the benefit of an extract in the creams or lotions?
Hi Monika, no this is not correct - please contact me for the details of how the extract was made in writing, because it is 20% extract at the end made up with water. Different extracts will yield different volumes that then need to be made up to 20%. No, adding straight glycerin won't give you the same benefits as the extract - and definitely not the 'marketing' benefits. Please email us for full details: info@personalcarescience.com.au they're free and available for you.
I think you should add an additional water to reach 20%, if the water extract didn't yield the 20% then add 80% glycerin to get to a 100%

can we use this method for hibiscus leaf extraction for antibacterial activity in well diffusion method ? please tell me the easiest way for preparing plant leaf extraction.
You could use this method for leaf extraction - they should be dried and crushed first for best extraction. You would then need to check the antibacterial efficacy of your particular extract using the source and method you have used.

So, when extracting via these methods, you include these items in the ingredients list, but you cannot include them in any marketing copy as a part of your marketing story?
For example, if I do a rosemary extract in a hair growth formula, I cannot directly name the rosemary because I wouldn't have tested my homemade extract to know the true efficacy of it?

Would be happy for a video regarding the items that may be included to make up an acceptable and marketable product line of products.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been reading about extracts and this is one of the best tutorials I've come across. But I'm a bit confused about the percentages. If I'm not mistaken your ethanol extract was 10% concentrate, 50% added ethanol, and 40% water. Is that correct? Was the glycerin extract also based on a 10% concentrate (10% concentrate, 10% added water, 80% glycerin)?
No - the thing is that when you mix the herb with the ethanol or water, you don't get a 'known' amount of ethanol or water back - so you can't determine how much of the starting ethanol or water is still present at the end. You can determine the extract amount, which is what you obtain - this differs for each type of herbal extract you make, so you can't write these % as 'general' or 'standard'. You will need to add different proportions of ethanol or water after filtering each time, even with the same herb (although you will see certain herbs soak more of the starting substance than others). So you need to filter out then make up to the amount listed in the formula sheet. You can, batch by batch (herb by herb) record this to be accurate for ingredient listing, but its not something I can provide as a general standard for you - it totally depends on how much liquid you get back from that initial filtration step. It is a case by case basis depending on the herbs you use and will also have some batch to batch variation, not the generalisations. I hope this makes sense, record it carefully and you would be able to calculate it correctly for each batch at the end, but it is never a generalisation.
@@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401 Got it, thank you!
@@CatarinaMota This isn't really accurate. As an herbalist, we determine this regularly without watering down the final extract. It defeats the purpose of using the initial menstruum, which is specifically mixed to a ratio necessary to pull the appropriate constituents out of the plant materials. We measure everything before we make the extracts and then measure everything after, and therefore are absolutely able to make a determination about percentages. If you're using 190 proof without any added water and doing a 1:2 ratio, you wouldn't need to add ANY water at the end. You only need for a final ratio to be 25% in order for it to be truly shelf stable. Most tinctures you buy commercially are about 40 to 60 percent because they're made using fresh plant material or a lower alcohol content to begin with. That said, this final product will be much, much higher than that since your starting herb (green tea in this case) was fully dried. There's no water to pull from the plant and none added, so it's nearly still 190. Further, you need to put all of that green tea in the filter and press it out to get all the constituents and goodness from that extract. We press our marcs to get every last drop of that liquid gold out!
I would like to see how these extracts are then incorporated to a vehicle and further stabilized with additives
You would use them the same as any other extract, up to 5% can be added to most formula bases without an issue; you could use less for marketing claims. You could also send extracts for in vivo testing to find out if there are benefits to your particular extract and then use the amount proven through in vivo testing. Hope this helps!
Its very easy and straight forward. Can I use rose water instead of water? Thank you so much for this channel its so helpful.

Glad it helped!
This was very informative, thankyou. Could you use a cold process method with glycerin, self preserving, using 80% glycerin and some distilled water, infused over some time?
It would be very hard to filter out - you could definitely try it!
The Institute of Personal Care Science thanks! I have a superfine nut milk strainer bag that would work well. Will give it a try!
I keep my herbs in extravirgin olive oil, coz it doesnt smell strong. Second method you demonstrated, worked well for me but i dint add glycerine in it. I added distilled water and preserved it with sodium benzoate. Offcourse shelf life wont b for 3 yrs. 4-6 months of life for extract is good for me . Your videos are really good and so knowledgeable. I have improved some of my recipes after gaining knowledge from you.thank you so much!!
Yuri Berwick that method called glycerite. You add 40% water to the dry herb and 60% glycerin. Let it sit for few weeks then strain it .
@@angelicadavidoff 40% of what?
Hi! I was wondering why adding glycerin would make the product self-preserving? As far as I know, anything with water in it would require a preservative. Glycerin is also a humectant that would attract water into the product. Wouldn't this extract require a preservative? Thanks!
The glycerin is such a high quantity that it traps all available water, meaning there is insufficient 'free' water to allow microbial growth.
After ethanol extraction why dilute it with water? Why not leave extract as is and for the usage simply dilute it in the cup of water right before taking the extract?
Hi All, can the dried goods with the glycerin be gently heated in a sealed jar in order to avoid boiling and destroying active components before straining? Not sure if this is thicky question😅.x
Hi Belinda, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Can be used 99.9% pure isopropyl alcohol Instead of ethanol? I read that it can be use in cosmetic too. Thank you
Not to make extracts, no, because it may not be compatible with all formulas you create - especially where salt is present. I would recommend you stick to ethanol as it does not then interact with some materials unfavourably.
Hi, thank you for this video.

I'm a bit confused...in both of these how-to explanations you describe the process but not the ratio of completed extract to final product? If I use 10g of plant and 20g of alcohol initially, then drain off the extract (the amount of which will vary by herb absorption), how much will that make? I get that we're adding water and more alcohol in certain percentages, but of what total? 10 times the plant materials initial weight? If I used 10 g of plant, would I end up with 100 g of final product? Or do I measure the final extract weight and consider that 10%? Or is it 5% or what? I didn't catch what ratio we're adding to either product 🤷🏻♀️

hi, my question is to
1. Why did you boil the herb before adding glycerin?
2. What if the plant is heat sensitive, does it mean we can't use the glycerin method?
Hi Chancey I heated the herb to extract components from it faster. This method also pasteurises the water portion because the addition of glycerin enables rapid cooling (its not pasteurisation if it is not cooled rapidly after heating). If you want to make a cold extract, you'd have to use ethanol because herbs are fantastic micro-organism growth sources if not treated effectively.
Thank you for posting this video. I have no interest in turning this into a business but I do grow more herbs than I need for my own needs and I thought it might be nice to make gifts up for friends and family and some of my herbs smell quite nice but not if they are not preserved. I was going to make potpourri as well but that won't last as long as an extract and not all my herbs do well as potpourri. This is going to be a nice addition to what I am already doing.
Best of luck!
hi thanks for the video. can you please make a video on how to extract herbs using oil instead of ethanol or glycerine etc thanks

Glad it was helpful!
What are some specific plants that are suited for oil maceration? I understand that this will only extract the oil soluble active components of the plant as you mentioned already in a comment below. I'd love to know which ones are worth doing with oil.
Any plants that yield essentail oils will respond to maceration well - but you can try other herbs as well - arnica, chamomile, calendula - but there are loads of other materials that you could create that would be more unique! That's the fun part of R&D - exploring and working with different materials to create unique and innovative substances - just check their history of safety carefully when exploring newer materials.

I heard alcohol is a better solvent and can therefore extract more from herbs than glycerin. However, since alcohol is an irritant I don't want to include it in formulations. Can I dehydrate the alcohol-based extract or should I just stick with glycerin?
Hi Shivani,
Dehydrating the alcohol out is how they make powdered extracts - you could try solving them in glycerin once dehydrated - it may work or it may not, you’d need to make samples to see. Alternatively, make it easy and use the glycerin but yes, alcohol does get more of the active constituents into the extract.
