Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract
Formulate Labs' standard or concentrated hydroglycerin stock of Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract, commonly known as Sage, is a potent botanical active rich in phenolic acids, triterpenoids, and phenolic diterpenes, offering comprehensive skin-conditioning benefits.
A potent botanical active known for its comprehensive skin-conditioning properties.
Botanical Identity: Derived from the common Sage plant, Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract is known by its trade names Sage and Salvia Officinalis. At Formulate Labs, we ensure clarity and consistency by providing ingredients identified by their INCI names, not proprietary supplier SKUs.
Dual mechanism: Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract acts as a powerful antioxidant, scavenging reactive oxygen species to protect skin from environmental stressors. It further preserves dermal integrity by inhibiting enzymes such as collagenase and elastase, which degrade structural proteins. This multifaceted action also supports skin health by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines and stimulating collagen synthesis, promoting a firmer and more resilient skin appearance.
Use levels: For Formulate Labs' Standard or Concentrated hydroglycerin stock of Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract, typical inclusion rates in finished cosmetic formulas range from 0.1% to 5.0%, with 1.0% to 3.0% being the most common and effective range for a wide array of applications.
Market context: Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract is competitively positioned across three key categories: as an antioxidant and anti-aging ingredient that neutralizes oxidative stress and supports collagen production; as a microbiome and sebum control agent ideal for clarifying and astringent applications; and as a natural, COSMOS-compliant ingredient for clean beauty and sensitized skin formulations that calms erythema.

Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract is documented in cosmetic peptide/protein literature. These are independent, third-party papers we link for formulators evaluating mechanism, tolerability, and published panel data. We did not conduct this research and do not guarantee replication in your finished formula.

Bulk composition at the selected Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract loading. Base carrier components scale proportionally when preservative is added; extract stays at the selected loading. Updates dynamically when you change base or preservation above. Full CAS disclosure is on the SDS/TDS for the selected variant (FL-SOL-W1-MBS4-5PCT-001).
SDS + TDS are issued per selected recipe. Links swap when you change selections above. A sample COA shows the standard extract QC panel (pH, organoleptic, TAMC/TYMC). Lot-specific COAs ship with every order.
We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected carrier. The botanical carries polar phenolics, flavonoid glycosides, and related extractable fractions. Those markers support antioxidant and skin-conditioning cosmetic stories. This is not a solvent isolate or a standardized marker extract. Lot identity appears on the COA and TDS.
This is a ready-to-use cosmetic extract stock, not a finished consumer product and not a standardized marker isolate. We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected hydroglycerin or oil carrier. Aqueous lots are released on pH, organoleptic, TAMC, and TYMC (total counts only). Oil macerates are released on organoleptic only. A sample COA is on this page; the lot-specific COA ships with the order.
