Cotton Seed Water Soluble Extract

Cotton Seed Liquid Extract carries flavonoid glycosides with phenolic acids and seed polysaccharides from Gossypium seed. Gossypol is the constituent that governs whether cotton seed material can be used at all, and glandless seed carries far less of it than glanded. Require a gossypol assay and confirm a glandless or de-gossypolised basis on every lot.

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Cotton Seed?
Most buyers use it in technical 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.
