Horsetail Extract AQ (Water Soluble)
Horsetail Extract AQ is a water-soluble botanical extract derived from Equisetum arvense, a plant naturally rich in silica and antioxidant compounds. Traditionally valued in both hair and skin care formulations, horsetail is often used in products designed to support the appearance of stronger-looking hair, firmer-feeling skin, and improved overall vitality.
Unlike oil-soluble horsetail extracts, this AQ version is specifically formulated for easy incorporation into water-based products such as toners, serums, gels, shampoos, conditioners, scalp treatments, facial mists, and lightweight emulsions.
Its naturally occurring silica content makes Horsetail Extract AQ especially popular in hair care formulations intended to promote softness, shine, and the appearance of healthier hair. In skincare, it is frequently used in firming, revitalizing, and mature skin applications.
Common Uses
- Hair growth & scalp support formulations
- Firming facial serums and creams
