Cosmetic Grade Willowherb Extract 10:1 Epilobium Angustifolium Extract Powder

Short Description:

Willowherb Extract 10:1 is a natural botanical extract derived from Epilobium parviflorum, commonly known as smallflower willowherb. It is produced through standardized water extraction, filtration, concentration and spray drying processes to form a fine, free-flowing powder. This 10:1 ratio means 10 parts of raw herb material are concentrated into 1 part finished powder. It serves as a natural plant raw material suitable for cosmetic and food compound formulations, with stable batch quality and complete test documentation available upon request.

Botanical Extract 10:1

Natural Willowherb Extract 10:1

Fireweed, rosebay willowherb, great willowherb, Chamaenerion angustifolium — the plant has collected names across three continents, and the extract we ship is drawn from its whole aerial herb. We build the grade at a 10:1 herb-to-extract basis and verify species identity by TLC, because this corner of the trade is full of material that is really willow bark. The polyphenol fraction centres on oenothein B, a macrocyclic ellagitannin with no relationship to salicin. Expect a fine yellowish-brown powder, 99% through 80 mesh, that dissolves in aqueous ethanol.

Key Highlights

01

Ten-to-One Concentration — a stated herb-to-extract basis, with lighter 5:1 and heavier 20:1 options to choose from.

02

Aerial Parts Only — the whole herb is extracted, and TLC identification is recorded against reference material.

03

Ellagitannin Core — oenothein B sits at the centre of the polyphenol fraction, with no salicin anywhere in it.

04

Mixes into Aqueous Ethanol — no solubiliser required, which keeps tincture and glycolic formats simple.

05

Fine 80 Mesh Grain — blends evenly into loose and pressed powders without leaving dark specks.

06

Packed in Xi’an — double-lined 25 kg drums, with 1 kg foils for sampling before a full order.

Function & Formulation Fit

①

Leave-On Skin Formats

Carries a botanical polyphenol fraction into serums and creams, usually well under one percent of the formula.

②

Scalp & Hair Systems

Suits tonics and shampoos already built on water and ethanol, where the extract needs no extra carrier.

③

Dry Powder Matrices

An 80 mesh grain that spreads through blends evenly and resists settling during transport.

④

Supplement Bases

Goes into capsule and sachet blends as one botanical component, subject to the rules of the target market.

Application Fields

Application 1
Application 2

Serums & Creams

Leave-on emulsions that want a plant-derived polyphenol component with a clean INCI name.

Scalp & Hair Formulas

Tonics and shampoos where a hydro-alcoholic extract drops straight into the existing base.

Cleansers & Washes

Wash-off systems that can carry a coloured botanical without shifting viscosity.

Loose & Pressed Powders

Fits dry-mix formats at inclusion rates low enough to leave texture unaffected.

Supplement Blends

Botanical base for dietary supplement formulas; the destination market sets the permitted route.

Buyer Questions Answered

Someone quoted us willow bark under this name. What is the difference?+

They are unrelated species. Willow bark comes from Salix in the Salicaceae and owes its behaviour to salicin; willowherb is Chamaenerion angustifolium in the Onagraceae and contains none of it. A specification written around salicin content tells you the supplier shipped bark, not this herb.

How do we verify the ratio without an assay number?+

Two ways. Identity is confirmed by TLC against botanical reference material, and the batch record carries the input-to-output weights behind the 10:1 claim. Ask for either document and we will send it with the sample.

What should we look for on the analytical side?+

Oenothein B is the recognised marker for Epilobium material: CAS 104987-36-2, C68H48O44, molecular weight 1569.08. This grade is not standardized to it, so treat any figure as lot-specific rather than as a floor you can rely on across orders.

Does the EU allow it in cosmetics and in supplements alike?+

The cosmetic route is settled: Epilobium Angustifolium Extract is listed in COSING under CAS 90028-31-2 with EINECS 289-821-5. Food and supplement use is a separate question answered market by market, so we send the documentation and leave the clearance decision to your regulatory team.

How is the drum stored, and how long does it keep?+

Seal it below 25 °C, away from daylight and damp. Left unopened, the material holds its specification for 24 months from the production date printed on the label.
