JARVIS BOTANICAL EXTRACTS have been a leading supplier of extracts to the Toiletry and Cosmetic industry worldwide for over 25 years. Peter Jarvis, the company founder is an acknowledged authority in the field of natural cosmetics. For decades, we have been observing and developing the science of the benefits nature offers humanity.

Our extensive study, with particular attention to hair and skin care preparations, has created an unsurpassed knowledge of their properties, locations and extraction processes. This knowledge encompasses plants, herbs, fruits and flowers from every continent around the globe.

Painstaking testing and controlled experiments has enabled us to supply the purest natural ingredients to the leading manufacturers who seek to offer their customers the effective performance that nature can provide.

The secrets of nature unfold themselves in unusual ways, with levels of concentration and the synergy of blends, providing a key to enhanced performance. For this reason great care is taken to ensure that our extracts are of proven concentration and we are able to provide guidance on levels of extract for optimal performance. Full technical specifications, data sheets and any other requested information is supplied for every extract.

JARVIS BOTANICAL EXTRACTS are engaging in a programme of research and development with a leading university; this collaboration continues to provide an increasing dossier of scientific support for our extracts. Most recently we have distilled all our learning into the production of an entirely new concept, the ActiveX range of extracts, each carefully balanced to produce proven activity against a wide range of skin and hair care needs. Never before has there been such evidence of botanical solutions to human needs.

The essence of quality control in extracts is purity. At JARVIS BOTANICAL EXTRACTS every stage of the extraction is meticulously controlled. The raw materials are certified for quality: they are tested for contamination or deterioration.Then they are carefully stored in the correct humidity before extraction commences. Water, oils, alcohols are tested thoroughly before use.

The gentle processes needed to encourage certain plants to give up their activities are known to us, as are the more intense treatments needed to encourage others. Each process is monitored for time, temperature and hygiene. Concentrations are measured and checked in our laboratories; every batch is recorded with a retained sample stored. Full microbiological tests are mounted: more detailed tests for trace elements of pesticides and heavy metals are made, depending on the final extract.

At JARVIS BOTANICAL EXTRACTS the keynote of quality control is respect. Respect means the nurturing and care, at every stage, for the precious extracts, nature's riches.

We recognise that formulators need a quick response to their requests. In line with this we aim to provide samples within 48 hours of request for our BotaniX range of extracts. All other ranges will be advised when sample requests are submitted. All samples are delivered with specifications and 16point MSDS.

All extracts are made to order and we aim to process and deliver within two weeks. However, for contracts, and for our more popular lines, we aim to keep delivery to within one week.
