Blackcurrant Glycerite is an alcohol-free botanical extract made from blackcurrant fruit (Ribes nigrum) in a base of vegetable glycerine and purified water. This water-soluble format makes it easy to blend into the water phase of toners, mists, serums, and body care. It has a soft berry note and can add a delicate blush to pale bases depending on your formula and inclusion level.
