Beet Root Extract
INCI Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Extract
Overview
An extract of beet root, valued for its natural, deep red-pink colour.
What it is
Beet Root Extract is drawn from the root of the common beet, the same vegetable found in kitchens everywhere. It’s best known in cosmetics for the rich, natural colour it carries.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Beets are grown widely across temperate climates. The root is processed to draw out its extract for use in a formulation.
What it does in a formulation
Contributes a natural red-pink tint to a finished product.
Why Lovebee uses it
We like reaching for real, plant-based colour whenever we can, and beet root is one of the most reliable ways to bring a warm pink-red tone into a formula naturally. It’s an honest way to get colour into a product without synthetic dye.
Good to know
- Colour intensity can vary naturally from batch to batch, as with any plant-derived colourant.
- Vegan and entirely plant-derived.
Common questions
- Will beet root extract stain?
Like the vegetable itself, it carries a strong natural pigment, so it’s worth being mindful around light fabrics.
- Is Beet Root Extract vegan?
Yes — it’s a plant-derived extract with no animal inputs.
- Is the colour from Beet Root Extract natural?
Yes, the colour comes entirely from the beet root itself rather than a synthetic dye.
