Senna Leaf Water Soluble Extract | Sonamukhi

Senna Leaf Liquid Extract supplies sennosides A and B with anthraquinone glycosides from Senna alexandrina leaf. Pod carries a higher and more consistent sennoside load than leaf, which is why pharmacopoeial preparations distinguish the two. Specify leaf or pod and a sennoside percentage by the stated method. Senna Leaf Water-Soluble Extract — known as Sonamukhi in Hindi and Nilavirai in Tamil (Senna alexandrina / Cassia angustifolia).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Senna Leaf?
Most buyers use it in digestive liquid formulations 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.
