Step 3 · OTCM Botanical Waters

OTCM EXPRESS Step 3. OTCM's own botanical waters that carry your brand story in place of purified water.
A patented enzyme process captures the plant's natural components intact.

01.What makes OTCM botanical waters different?

OTCM's botanical waters are a little special. To draw out the good components of a plant, we use a special key — a patented enzyme.

Most extraction relies on heat or chemicals. OTCM instead uses enzymes that open the plant cell walls, capturing the plant's beneficial components cleanly and completely.

This method does not damage the plant's efficacy; it draws out its effect and energy more richly and efficiently. In short, it is not simple extraction but a way of capturing the plant's true power as it is.

OTCM's patented enzyme process — ① plant cell ② enzyme added (40–50℃ low-temperature aging) ③ cell wall breakdown (cell lysis) ④ release of active components — OTCM botanical water 'patented enzyme process' — low-temperature aging at 40–50℃

02.How good is OTCM Centella water?

Centella water made by enzyme extraction — the difference is clearer than the numbers.

In OTCM's enzyme-extracted Centella Asiatica water, the components presumed to be the plant's nutrients were detected at far higher levels.

In particular, a peak at 270nm (HPLC) that is barely visible with conventional heat extraction appeared clearly with enzyme extraction. Enzyme extraction captures the plant's efficacy more completely and more richly.

Centella water made with the enzyme process — higher active content than competitors (HPLC 270nm)

03.Which plants can be made into botanical water?

OTCM holds a library of some 400 natural materials. We can offer a wide range of botanical water solutions to match your brand concept, and can also develop and supply customized waters that maximize the content and activity of specific actives to your needs.

Replace the purified water everyone uses with an OTCM botanical water that tells your brand's story — and make your brand identity stand out.
