Madar (Aak) Flower Water Soluble Extract | Aak

Madar Flower Liquid Extract concentrates calotropin with uscharin and flavonol glycosides from Calotropis gigantea flower. The cardenolides are the constituents that define this material and they are water-soluble, so aqueous extraction concentrates rather than reduces them. Restricted use; require a cardenolide assay and confirm permitted status before ordering. Madar (Aak) Flower Water-Soluble Extract — known as Aak (Arka) in Hindi and Erukku in Tamil (Calotropis gigantea).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Madar (Aak) Flower?
Most buyers use it in classical Ayurvedic preparations only. 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.
