leaf extract

Botanical distillation product

Leaf extract is a concentrated substance derived from plant leaves, typically obtained by soaking or processing leaves in a solvent like water, alcohol, or oil.

These extracts capture the active compounds, flavors, or fragrances of the source plant and appear widely in herbal supplements, cosmetics, teas, and food flavorings.

Green tea leaf extract is popular in skincare products.

The term often appears on ingredient labels where the specific plant is named: ginkgo biloba leaf extract.
