1. NordicBotanicals AB
Nestled in the heart of Västerås, NordicBotanicals AB has been a cornerstone of Sweden's botanical extracts scene since 1998. What started as a small family business harvesting lingonberries and cloudberries in the forests of Småland has grown into a leading manufacturer and wholesaler known for its unwavering commitment to Nordic flora. "We believe the best ingredients are right here in our backyard," says CEO Anna Lindqvist, who took over the company from her parents a decade ago. "Our pine bark extract, for example, comes from sustainably managed forests where trees are only harvested after 80 years of growth—no shortcuts."
NordicBotanicals specializes in extracts from native plants like birch sap (rich in antioxidants), lingonberry (a favorite for anti-inflammatory supplements), and spruce needle (used in everything from teas to skincare). What truly sets them apart is their zero-waste philosophy: leftover plant material is turned into compost for local farms, and even their packaging is 100% biodegradable. As a bulk botanical extracts provider, they cater to both small businesses (minimum orders start at 5kg) and large corporations, with a dedicated team to help customers tailor extracts to their specific needs. Certified EU Organic, ISO 22000, and Fair Trade, NordicBotanicals is a go-to for brands that prioritize sustainability and traceability.
2. GreenRoot Extracts
If you're on the hunt for a botanical extracts supplier with a global reach but a local touch, GreenRoot Extracts in Malmö should be at the top of your list. Founded in 2010 by herbalist Emma Johansson, this company prides itself on bridging the gap between international plant diversity and Swedish quality standards. "We source from the best regions—ginger from India, chamomile from Egypt, ashwagandha from Nepal—but every batch is tested in our in-house lab in Lund before it ever reaches a customer," Emma explains. "Sweden has some of the strictest regulations in the world, and we wouldn't have it any other way."
GreenRoot's product line is a treasure trove for wellness and beauty brands: think organic turmeric extract standardized for curcumin, reishi mushroom powder for immune supplements, and calendula extract for soothing skincare. They're particularly popular among small-batch artisans thanks to their flexible ordering options—no need to commit to massive bulk orders here. With certifications like Ecocert, GMP, and Kosher, GreenRoot ensures that every extract meets the highest standards for purity and potency. "Our customers often tell us they love that we're transparent about our sourcing," Emma adds. "We even share photos of the farms we work with on our website. Trust isn't just earned—it's shown."
3. Swedish Extract Co.
Innovation meets tradition at Swedish Extract Co. in Gothenburg, a manufacturer that's redefining what's possible with botanical extraction. Founded by chemist Erik Larsson in 2015, the company specializes in alcohol-free tinctures and CO2 extracts—gentler methods that preserve delicate plant compounds often destroyed by heat or harsh solvents. "I started this company because I noticed a gap in the market for extracts that work for sensitive skin," Erik says. "Many traditional tinctures use alcohol, which can irritate, so we developed a water-based extraction process that's just as effective but far gentler."
Swedish Extract Co.'s star products include their rosehip CO2 extract (a staple in anti-aging serums) and their alcohol-free valerian root tincture (a hit with natural sleep supplement brands). They're also a leader in botanical extracts for cosmetics , with a range of extracts specifically formulated to work in emulsions, creams, and serums. Certified EU Organic, GMP, and Vegan Society-approved, the company is committed to cruelty-free testing and sustainable sourcing. "We partner with a women-owned farm in Skåne for our lavender and chamomile," Erik notes. "Supporting local communities is just as important as making great extracts."
4. BioFlora Nordic
For startups and small businesses looking to scale, BioFlora Nordic in Stockholm is a game-changer. As a wholesaler and trader, they specialize in bulk botanical extracts with a focus on affordability and flexibility. "We know how hard it is to launch a brand—every krona counts," says founder Lars Pettersson, who started BioFlora in 2012 after working in the supplement industry for a decade. "That's why we offer tiered pricing: the more you order, the lower the cost, but we never compromise on quality. Even our smallest bulk orders (10kg) meet the same standards as our 500kg orders for big brands."
BioFlora's catalog includes everything from standard extracts like green tea and ginseng to more niche options like sea buckthorn and elderflower. They also offer custom blends—perfect for brands looking to create unique formulations. With certifications like ISO 9001, Halal, and Organic EU, they're trusted by food, supplement, and cosmetic companies alike. What customers love most, though, is their fast turnaround: most orders ship within 48 hours, and they offer free samples so you can test extracts before committing. "We're not just a supplier—we're a partner," Lars says. "If you need help figuring out which extract works best for your product, our team of herbalists is here to guide you."
5. ForestHerb Sweden
There's something magical about wild-harvested botanicals, and ForestHerb Sweden in Umeå has mastered the art of bringing that magic to market. Founded in 2005 by a group of local foragers, this manufacturer works directly with over 200 wild-harvesters across northern Sweden to source plants like lingonberry, bilberry, and pine bark. "Wild harvesting is an ancient tradition here—our foragers know exactly when and how to pick plants without harming the ecosystem," explains forestry expert and co-founder Helena Bergström. "For example, we only harvest 10% of a bilberry patch each year to ensure it regrows stronger the next season."
ForestHerb's extracts are prized for their potency: their wild spruce needle oil, for instance, is rich in vitamin C and used in everything from cold remedies to aromatherapy products. They're also a leader in transparency, with a QR code on every package that lets customers trace an extract back to the exact forest it came from. Certified EU Organic, Fair Wild (a certification for sustainable wild harvesting), and GMP, ForestHerb is a favorite among brands that want to tell a story with their ingredients. "Our extracts aren't just ingredients—they're a piece of Sweden's wilderness," Helena says. "And that connection matters to consumers more than ever."
6. Botanica Wholesale
Botanica Wholesale in Gothenburg is proof that eco-friendly practices and competitive pricing can go hand in hand. This family-owned wholesaler has been around since 1998, and in that time, they've built a reputation for high-quality extracts at prices that won't break the bank. "We keep costs low by cutting out the middleman—we source directly from farmers and process extracts in our own facility," says third-generation owner Sofia Andersson. "That way, we can offer great prices without skimping on quality."
Botanica's product line includes standardized extracts (like 4:1 echinacea for immune supplements), herbal blends (think calming chamomile-lavender), and fruit powders (apple, berry, and citrus are bestsellers). They're also committed to sustainability: their factory runs on 100% renewable energy, and they use recyclable or biodegradable packaging for all orders. Certified ISO 14001 (for environmental management), Organic EU, and Non-GMO, Botanica is a top choice for brands that want to be both budget-conscious and eco-friendly. "We believe everyone should have access to natural extracts, whether you're a big brand or a hobbyist," Sofia adds. "That's why we never have minimum order requirements—order 1kg or 1000kg, and you'll get the same great service."
7. Nature's Extracts Sweden
When it comes to botanical extracts for cosmetics , Nature's Extracts Sweden in Lund is a name you'll hear again and again. Founded in 2008 by skincare formulator Anna-Karin Nilsson, this supplier and manufacturer specializes in extracts that are gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. "I started mixing extracts in my kitchen for friends who struggled with harsh skincare products," Anna-Karin recalls. "Now, we work with over 500 brands across Europe, but we still treat every customer like family."
Nature's Extracts is best known for their floral waters (rose, lavender, and cornflower are customer favorites) and their line of "skin-loving" extracts like aloe vera (soothing), green tea (antioxidant-rich), and licorice root (brightening). All their extracts are tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and allergens, and they offer custom formulations for brands with specific needs. Certified ECOCERT, GMP, and Cruelty-Free, the company is a hit with clean beauty brands that prioritize safety and efficacy. "Our extracts are designed to work with your skin, not against it," Anna-Karin says. "That's the Swedish way—simple, effective, and kind."
8. NorthExtract Trading
Sometimes, the best botanical extracts aren't local—and NorthExtract Trading in Gothenburg excels at bringing global diversity to Sweden. As a trader, they import extracts from around the world (think moringa from India, acai from Brazil, and goji berry from China) and pair them with domestic favorites like lingonberry and birch. "Sweden has amazing plants, but why limit ourselves?" asks founder Olof Persson, who travels to at least 10 countries yearly to vet suppliers. "We work with farms that share our values: fair wages, sustainable practices, and a commitment to quality. For example, our moringa supplier in Tamil Nadu uses solar power to dry the leaves—no fossil fuels involved."
NorthExtract's claim to fame is their rare and hard-to-find extracts, like sea moss from Ireland (a hit in vegan supplements) and marula oil from South Africa (loved by skincare brands). They also offer full transparency: every import comes with a detailed certificate of analysis (CoA) and a story about the farm it came from. Certified ISO 22000, Organic EU, and Halal, NorthExtract is a favorite for brands that want to create truly unique products. "Our customers come to us when they can't find what they need elsewhere," Olof says. "We're like a botanical treasure hunt—always on the lookout for the next great extract."
9. CleanBotanics AB
CleanBotanics AB in Uppsala is on a mission to make botanical extracts as eco-friendly as possible—starting with their production process. This manufacturer runs entirely on wind and solar power, uses rainwater for extraction, and even captures CO2 from their facilities to feed a nearby greenhouse. "We believe the future of extracts is green," says environmental scientist and founder Karin Eriksson, who started CleanBotanics in 2016. "Every step of our process is designed to leave the smallest footprint possible, from sourcing to shipping."
Specializing in water-based extracts and herbal infusions, CleanBotanics offers products like chamomile extract (for calming teas), nettle extract (a popular hair care ingredient), and dandelion extract (used in detox supplements). They're also B Corp certified, meaning they meet rigorous standards for social and environmental performance. What customers love most, though, is their carbon-neutral shipping: for every order, CleanBotanics plants a tree in partnership with a reforestation project in Sweden. "Our extracts don't just support your health—they support the planet's health too," Karin says. "That's a win-win."
10. HerbalNordic Supply
Rounding out our list is HerbalNordic Supply in Linköping, a supplier and wholesaler that prides itself on education and customer support. "We don't just sell extracts—we teach you how to use them," says founder and herbalist Ingrid Sandström, who offers free workshops and online courses for customers. "Whether you're a skincare formulator confused about pH levels or a supplement brand trying to standardize an extract, we're here to help. No question is too small."
HerbalNordic's product line includes standardized extracts (like 5% ginkgo biloba for cognitive supplements), herbal blends (immune-boosting mixes with echinacea and elderberry), and mushroom extracts (reishi, chaga, and lion's mane are top sellers). They also offer sample packs (50g each) so customers can test extracts before committing to bulk orders. Certified Organic EU, GMP, and Kosher, the company is a favorite for brands that value expertise and personalized service. "At the end of the day, we're here to make your job easier," Ingrid says. "Because when our customers succeed, we succeed too."
