What Is Natural Safflower Extract Powder?

Our Natural Safflower Extract is a 10:1 concentrated extract from Carthamus tinctorius(Xinjiang Tacheng, China’s premier safflower-growing region), processed via low-temperature water extraction (38°C) to preserve natural carthamin (red pigment) and flavonoids. Sourced from hand-harvested petals (peak pigment stage), it is standardized for carthamin (2%+) and flavonoids (3%+), with zero additives and arid cultivation authenticity (500-1000m altitude for optimal active density). The 100-mesh powder is ideal for functional foods, natural colorants, and dietary supplements.

Why Choose Our Safflower Extract? 
  • Carthamin Purity: 2%+ HPLC-verified carthamin (key natural red pigment), 1.8x higher than average safflower extracts.
  • Gentle Processing: 38°C low-temp extraction + spray drying retains 92% of actives (vs. 64% in heat extraction), preserving mild floral aroma.
  • Omega-6 Rich Formula: 25% linoleic acid (essential fatty acid) supports skin barrier health, ideal for fortified products.
  • Global Compliance: Non-GMO, Halal/Kosher certified, meets FDA/EFSA food additive standards and EU Novel Food regulations.
