AHPA to launch working group on tinctures
November 5, 2025
The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) is forming a new working group on tinctures. Tinctures are one of the most popular and time-honored form factors for consumers seeking to incorporate herbs and herbal ingredients into their personal health and wellness routines.
The new AHPA working group will serve as a dedicated forum for industry stakeholders to address technical, quality, and regulatory matters unique to the tincture category. By fostering a unified approach, AHPA aims to ensure the continued responsible commerce, appropriate regulatory classification, and consumer availability of herbal tinctures nationwide.
“Tinctures represent a fundamental and effective delivery system for many herbal ingredients, and they have been a staple of traditional and modern herbalism for centuries,” said Graham Rigby, AHPA President & CEO. “AHPA is committed to ensuring that the industry continues to maintain the highest standards of quality, safety, and accurate information regarding the production and labeling of these concentrated liquid extracts.”
“Supporting responsible commerce requires proactive engagement on issues that impact popular consumer product formats,” said Robert Marriott, J.D., AHPA VP of Regulatory & Government Affairs. “This working group provides a vital platform for AHPA members and other industry leaders to share expertise, align best practices, and work collaboratively to support the integrity and availability of herbal tinctures across the market.”
The AHPA Tincture Working Group will hold its first meeting virtually on Friday, November 14, at 10-11am PT / 1-2pm ET. Participation is open to AHPA members as well as other industry stakeholders with interest. Register to receive the Zoom meeting details.
