African Potato Extract
African Potato Extract is derived from the plant Hypoxis hemerocallidea, a medicinal plant native to southern Africa. It is commonly used in traditional African medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties. The active compound in the extract is hypoxoside, which is converted in the body to rooperol, a potent antioxidant. African Potato Extract is often used as a complementary treatment for conditions like arthritis, prostate issues, and certain infections, though scientific evidence on its effectiveness is still limited.
Alpha Arbutin
 Alpha Arbutin is a biosynthetic active ingredient derived from hydroquinone and glucose. It is widely used in cosmetic and skincare formulations for its skin-brightening and spot-reducing properties. Alpha Arbutin inhibits tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, thereby helping to reduce pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. It is more stable and effective than its beta counterpart and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Apricot Powder
Apricot powder is a dehydrated, finely ground form of apricot fruit, retaining much of the natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional properties of fresh apricots. It is typically made by drying fresh apricots through spray drying, freeze drying, or drum drying, then milling into a fine powder. Apricot powder is rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and antioxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamin C. It is widely used as a natural flavoring agent, colorant, and nutritional supplement in food and beverage products, as well as in cosmetics and dietary supplements. Its convenient powdered form allows for easy incorporation into dry mixes and processed goods without the perishability of fresh fruit.
Ashawaganha Powder
Ashawaganha Powder is derived from the dried roots of Withania somnifera, a renowned herb in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine systems. Known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, Ashwagandha is valued for its adaptogenic properties, helping the body combat stress, enhance vitality, and support overall wellness. The powder is finely ground root material, rich in bioactive compounds such as withanolides, alkaloids, and steroidal lactones. It is widely used as a dietary supplement, in herbal formulations, cosmetics, and traditional medicine.
Ellagic Acid
Ellagic Acid is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound found in numerous fruits, nuts, and vegetables such as pomegranates, strawberries, raspberries, walnuts, and cranberries. It is a potent antioxidant known for its ability to scavenge free radicals and chelate metal ions. Due to its significant anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-viral properties, Ellagic Acid has gained extensive interest in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. It appears as a yellow to light brown crystalline powder, insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and DMSO.
Natural Beta carotene food grade
Natural Beta Carotene Food Grade is a naturally derived carotenoid pigment obtained from sources such as algae, carrots, palm oil, and other vegetables. It is a powerful antioxidant and a precursor to vitamin A (provitamin A), essential for human health. This bright orange-red pigment is widely used as a natural colorant in food, beverages, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. Its antioxidant properties help protect cells from oxidative damage, supporting immune function, eye health, and skin vitality.
Silk Proteins
Silk Proteins are hydrolyzed proteins derived from natural silk fibers, typically composed of fibroin and sericin. They are water-soluble, bioactive compounds known for their excellent film-forming, moisture-retaining, and conditioning properties. Silk proteins are widely used in cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and textiles due to their biocompatibility, smooth texture, and ability to penetrate and protect surfaces like skin, hair, and fabric.
Vitamin B2 Riboflavin Extra Pure
