Leading the way in
revolutionary botanical extraction.

Extracted by science, approved by nature.

Plant Extracts is Australia’s largest and the world leading manufacturer and supplier of pure natural plant extracts for use in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

Plant Extracts is a unique creative business based on over 12 years of extensive research and development in plant cellular science and nutrient production.

The journey of Plant Extracts began in 2008 and has continued to evolve since its conception. It represents the life's work of founder and the creator and innovator of world-first breakthroughs, Ross Macdougald.

Using a revolutionary extraction method, CLECS™ (exclusively designed, developed and built in-house), all extracts are delivered in the plant's liquid carrier matrix (PNP™) to harness the powerful phyto actives without the need for chemical manipulation to mimic natural function.

Bridging the gap between the complex needs of the consumer and the true power of untouched nature, Plant Extracts' offering respects the integrity of native botany responsibly, ethically and while maintaining exceptional standards of quality, service and delivery.

We currently supply over 260 extracts to customers across the pharmaceutical, skin, hair and beauty, cosmeceutical and food and beverage industries. Almost 100 of these are native Australian extracts.

Plant Extracts is the only company  in the world with its own purpose built extractors that have been designed, built and manufactured in Australia by Australian companies utilising the most current computer and manufacturing technologies available.

Backed up by world first research and a sound understanding of the inner workings of botanical sources, as innovators in our field, we create custom extracts to achieve the customer’s vision to revolutionise their market and become leaders in their industry.

Pure, 100% active.

With a commitment to provide customers with honest and pure extracts that work, Plant Extracts’ products are the nutrient life of the plant. They are the colour, biological structure and efficacy of the plant itself.

In a world first, the plants PNP™ liquid matrix is extracted directly from the plants' cellular structure – the elements that contain the plant nutrients – the result of which is stable liquid that simulates the plant's internal workings.

Taking the leading edge in an evolving industry, our progressive approach to complex extraction maintains the synergy of an intricate cellular matrix to provide potent extracts that retain activity outside of the plant.

Misleading or Deceptive Conduct and False or Misleading Representations by Plant Extracts Pty Ltd Following proceedings brought by Native Extracts Pty Ltd ACN 161 185 913 (Native Extracts), the Federal Court of Australia has found that Plant Extracts Pty Ltd ACN 613 551 349 (Plant Extracts) has engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and made false or misleading representations in contravention of the Australian Consumer Law which is Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), and that Plant Extracts director, Mr Ross Macdougald, was knowingly concerned in those contraventions. From July 2016, Plant Extracts sent to customers and prospective customers data packs for Chamomile Extract, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Green Tea Extract, Gotu Kola Extract, Liquorice Extract, Oat Extract, Papaya Extract, Emu Apple Extract, Hops Extract, Olive Leaf Extract and Quandong Extract (Relevant Botanical Extracts) which included certificates of analysis purporting to be from Southern Cross University (SCU) relating to the composition of those extracts.
