Mimosa Powder Extra Pure is a finely ground, high-purity botanical extract derived from the bark or leaves of Acacia spp. (commonly known as mimosa). This extra pure grade is meticulously processed to retain key phytochemicals—such as tannins, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds—in highly consistent concentrations. In laboratory settings, it is prized for use in phytochemical analysis, antioxidant testing, and evaluation of anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial activity.
With minimal impurities, Mimosa Powder is well-suited for biochemical assays, formulation trials, and comparative research on natural extracts. It may also be used in cosmetic formulations, nutraceutical studies, or dietary supplement development, where standardization and safety are critical. Proper storage in cool, dry, and dark conditions is recommended to maintain potency and prevent degradation.
Mimosa Powder Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Source of Tannins for Leather Tanning
- Used in the vegetable tanning process to convert animal hides into durable, rot-resistant leather. The high concentration of condensed tannins (flavonoids) in the powder binds to collagen proteins, stabilizing the hide structure.
- Natural Dye for Textiles and Fabrics
- Serves as a substantive dye to color natural fibers like wool, silk, and cotton, yielding shades of yellow, tan, brown, and grey. The color outcome depends on the mordant used (e.g., alum for bright yellows, iron for darker grey-browns).
- Raw Material for Extract Production
- Act as the starting material for the industrial or laboratory-scale production of Mimosa extract. This involves aqueous extraction to concentrate the active compounds (tannins, saponins) into a liquid or solid form for use in tanning, cosmetics, and herbal products.
- Biomaterial for Cosmetic and Dermatological Preparations
- Incorporated into skincare formulations (creams, lotions, serums) for its purported regenerative and soothing properties, largely attributed to compounds like beta-sitosterol. It is a key ingredient in some traditional and modern wound-healing and anti-aging products.
Secondary Uses
- Adhesive and Resin Precursor
- The tannins can be reacted with aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde) or used alone to produce natural-based adhesives for wood products, such as particleboard and plywood, or as a precursor to synthetic tannin resins.
- Antioxidant in Laboratory Studies
- Used in in vitroresearch as a source of natural polyphenols and flavonoids to study free radical scavenging activity, metal chelation, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation in biochemical and food science models.
- Flocculant in Water Treatment Studies
- Investigated for its potential as a natural, biodegradable flocculant. The tannins and other polymeric compounds can help aggregate and settle suspended colloidal particles in turbid water in experimental treatment setups.
- Teaching Tool in Phytochemistry and Ethnobotany
- Serves as an excellent sample for laboratory exercises demonstrating the extraction and qualitative analysis of plant secondary metabolites, such as the Stiasny number for tannin quantification or thin-layer chromatography (TLC) fingerprinting. It is also used to discuss the principles of ethnobotany and the traditional uses of medicinal plants.

- Handling Notes:
- Handle in a well-ventilated area
- Use care to avoid generating dust
4. Laboratory Applications
- Primary Uses:
- Tannin analysis and quantification in natural product chemistry
- Natural dyeing and staining for textiles and histology (due to its high tannin content)
- Astringent agent in herbal/pharmaceutical formulations (for research only)
- Secondary Uses:
- Teaching tool in botanical studies or phytochemical screening
- Research on plant-derived antioxidants or anti-inflammatory agents
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Wear a lab coat, nitrile gloves, and safety goggles.
- Use a dust mask or operate in a fume hood to avoid inhalation of fine particles.
Handling:
- Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and contact with eyes or skin.
- Prevent formation and dispersion of dust.
- Wash hands thoroughly after use.
- Handle with care as natural plant powders may contain allergenic or bioactive compounds.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
- Keep the container tightly sealed and away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Keep away from oxidizing agents and strong acids.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
- Remove the individual to fresh air.
- Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation persists.
Skin Contact:
- Wash skin with soap and water.
- Remove and wash contaminated clothing.
- Seek medical attention if irritation or reaction occurs.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse cautiously with plenty of water for several minutes.
- Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
- Continue rinsing and seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Ingestion:
- Rinse mouth with water.
- Do not induce vomiting.
- Seek medical advice, especially if large amounts were ingested.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability:
- Combustible in powder form; dust may form explosive mixtures with air.
Extinguishing Media:
- Use dry chemical, foam, or CO₂ extinguishers.
- Avoid using strong water jets.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
- May produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and organic fumes.
Firefighter Protection:
- Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
- Avoid inhalation of combustion fumes.
