Periwinkle Leaf Water Soluble Extract | Sadabahar

Periwinkle Leaf Liquid Extract carries vincristine and vinblastine with catharanthine from Catharanthus roseus leaf. The bisindole alkaloids are licensed chemotherapy agents, and their presence is the reason this material is restricted rather than a selling point. Restricted use; require an alkaloid assay and confirm permitted status before ordering. Periwinkle Leaf Water-Soluble Extract — known as Sadabahar in Hindi, Nithyakalyani (Nayanthaara) in Tamil, and Sadaphuli in Marathi (Catharanthus roseus).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Periwinkle Leaf?
Most buyers use it in classical 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.
