Costunolide and dehydrocostus lactone are the sesquiterpene lactones costus is known for, but they are lipophilic and belong to the oil fraction rather than the water phase. Saussurea lappa is CITES-listed; confirm permits and sourcing documentation before import.

FAQs
What are the primary formulation applications of Costus Root?
Most buyers use it in traditional Ayurvedic preparations and aromatic formulations. 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.
