Sunflower Seed Water Soluble Extract | Suryamukhi, Suryakantham

Sunflower Seed Liquid Extract carries chlorogenic acid with seed polysaccharides and phenolic acids from Helianthus annuus seed. Chlorogenic acid is the dominant polar phenolic in sunflower seed and browns readily at alkaline pH, which affects colour in a finished liquid. Fix the matrix pH before setting the inclusion rate. Sunflower Seed Water-Soluble Extract — known as Suryamukhi in Hindi, Suryakanthi in Tamil, Suryakantham in Telugu, Suryakanthi in Malayalam, Suryaphool in Marathi, and Surjomukhi in Bengali (Helianthus annuus).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Sunflower Seed?
Most buyers use it in cosmetic water phases and nutrition premixes. 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.
