Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract · 5% aqueous hydroglycerin stock
Formulate Labs offers a fixed 5% hydroglycerin stock of Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract, a botanical powerhouse renowned for its key actives including saponins, polysaccharides, and flavonoids. Often recognized by its traditional names (Astragalus, Huang Qi), this extract is designed to support skin longevity, enhance resilience, and promote an even-toned complexion.
A revered botanical with multifaceted skin benefits.
Botanical Identity: Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract, derived from the revered Astragalus plant, is a cornerstone of traditional wellness systems. Common Names: While frequently referred to as Astragalus or Huang Qi, Formulate Labs offers this pure INCI material, distinct from proprietary supplier blends or branded ingredients. Our Commitment: We provide transparent, high-quality cosmetic raw materials for your formulation needs.
Dual mechanism: Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract offers a multimodal approach to skin appearance and resilience. Its primary mechanism for supporting skin longevity involves the saponin astragaloside IV, which stimulates telomerase activity to help delay cellular senescence and prolong the viability of dermal fibroblasts. Concurrently, the extract's polysaccharide fraction provides antioxidant benefits by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and downregulating matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1). This action helps prevent the degradation of structural collagen, thereby enhancing the skin's structural integrity and resilience. Additionally, flavonoid constituents have been shown to inhibit melanogenesis pathways, suggesting a role in promoting a brighter, more even-toned complexion.
Use levels: — For optimal active efficacy, integrate Formulate Labs' 5% hydroglycerin stock of Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract into topical skincare applications at concentrations ranging from 1.0% to 5.0%.
Market context: — Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract is a versatile active that competes across several high-value cosmetic categories. It is positioned for Cellular Longevity, where marketing focuses on its ability to support collagen synthesis, reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles, and promote structural dermal remodeling. In Tissue Repair, it's marketed in synergistic botanical blends for its ability to reactivate fibroblasts, making it suitable for products designed to remodel and improve the appearance of stretch marks. For Barrier Defense, formulations highlight its anti-inflammatory and microbiome-regulating properties, making it a strong candidate for products targeting sensitive, acne-prone, or atopic skin profiles that require soothing and barrier-reinforcing benefits.
Pricing context: — Public B2B pricing for standardized liquid cosmetic extracts is sparse, with bulk powders typically ranging from $10–$15/kg and highly standardized cosmetic hydro-extracts commanding a premium of $25–$35+/kg depending on the titration of active molecules. Based on this intelligence, Formulate Labs' pricing for our Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract 5% hydroglycerin stock is structured as follows: 500 g for $20.80, 1 kg for $32.00, and a 17 kg Pail for $476.00 ($28.00/kg).
