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.
- 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.
| Benefit | Key Active | Mechanism/Data | Application Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circulatory Comfort | Flavonoids (3%+) + Polyphenols (2.5%+) | Supports healthy microcirculation (in vitro vasodilation ↑10%, J Ethnopharmacol, 2022); enhances oxygen delivery | Herbal teas, circulatory support blends |
| Antioxidant Support | Carthamin (2%+) + Vitamin E (1.2mg/100g) | ORAC value=2,700 µmol TE/g (scavenges free radicals); reduces oxidative stress markers (12% ↓ in vitro, Food Chem, 2022) | Functional drinks, antioxidant capsules |
| Skin Barrier Support | Linoleic Acid (25%+) | Enhances skin hydration (↑21% in vitro, Int J Cosmet Sci, 2021); soothes occasional dryness | Cosmetic creams, natural serums |
