Dandelion Dried Leaf Alcohol-Free Liquid Extract — Taraxacum officinale Dried Leaf Glycerite
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a perennial of the Asteraceae family, found across temperate Eurasia and North America in meadows, verges and disturbed ground. It forms a flat rosette of deeply toothed leaves — the jagged margin gives the plant its name — above a thick taproot, and produces a single bright yellow composite flower head on a hollow stalk that exudes white latex when broken. The leaves are cut in spring before flowering and dried flat. Dried dandelion leaf is olive-green and papery, with a faint hay-like scent and a distinctly bitter taste.
The raw material is ethically wild harvested. Extraction is by classical maceration at the lowest practical temperature, in a base of vegetable glycerin and purified artesian water — glycerin and water are the only solvents. The product contains no alcohol, no added sugar, no preservatives and no artificial colours. Its mildly sweet taste comes from the vegetable glycerin itself.
Every incoming batch is tested in our own laboratory to confirm botanical identity and consistency, using HPTLC fingerprinting and FTIR spectral analysis, alongside microbiological screening, viscosity and refractometric measurement. Quality control is guided by USP, Ph. Eur., ISO 17025 and cGLP standards, and a certificate of analysis is available for every batch. Produced at an FDA-registered facility in Honolulu, Hawaii, and shipped from our EU warehouse.
