Agarwood Water Soluble Extract | Agar, Agaru

Agarwood Liquid Extract supplies 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromones with mangiferin from Aquilaria malaccensis heartwood. Resinous heartwood is substantially richer in characteristic 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromones than uninfected wood; the chromone fraction is what aqueous extraction recovers, while the free resin remains poorly water-dispersible. Confirm resin grade and origin documentation per lot. Agarwood Water-Soluble Extract — known as Agar in Hindi, Aggalichandanam in Tamil, Agaru in Telugu, Akil in Malayalam, and Agaru in Bengali (Aquilaria malaccensis).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Agarwood?
Most buyers use it in cosmetic bases and traditional preparations. As with any new water-soluble extract, pilot-test in your specific base before committing to a full production run.

Which carrier should I choose — water, propylene glycol or glycerin?
Water alone suits most aqueous formulations. Propylene glycol improves cold-stability and solvency in preserved systems; glycerin gives a milder, skin-friendlier carrier for leave-on formulations. PG and glycerin variants are offered at 500 g and 1 Kg, with PG also available at 5 Kg.
