The invention discloses a plant active component extraction device and application thereof in cosmetics. The device comprises a base, a distillation mechanism, an extrusion mechanism, a condensation mechanism, a crushing mechanism and a water circulation mechanism, and the front sides and the rear sides of the condensation mechanism and the crushing mechanism are fixedly connected with the top ofthe distillation mechanism through a rack, the distillation mechanism comprises a distillation box fixed to the front side of the top of the base, and a heating plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the distillation box. The invention relates to the technical field of distillation equipment. The invention discloses the plant active component extraction device and application thereof in cosmetics. The extrusion mechanism is arranged on the distillation box, juice in plants is fully squeezed out through an extrusion force, then distillation is conducted through the distillation mechanism, compared with direct plant cooking, active substances in the plants can be extracted more fully and thoroughly, waste is little, cost is reduced, the extrusion mechanism is of a movable design, the extrusion mechanism can be directly pulled out upwards, internal residue can be poured out conveniently, and use is convenient.
