Brassica oleracea botrytis extract

Brassica oleracea botrytis extract (CAS 223749-36-8), derived from cauliflower, is a plant-based active used across cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical formulations. Brassica oleracea italica extract is a closely related commercially traded form sourced under the same CAS reference.

Both deliver concentrated phytonutrients, including glucosinolates, vitamins, and antioxidant compounds, that formulators target for functional activity rather than simple nutritional content. In cosmetic formulations, the extract is incorporated into serums and anti-aging products.

Its antioxidant activity supports skin protection and moisture retention in high-end skincare. Nutraceutical manufacturers use it in capsules, tablets, and functional food products targeting antioxidant and general wellness positioning for global markets.

Pharmaceutical and healthcare formulators source it as a botanical active in standardized supplement preparations. Consistent phytonutrient profiles are required for label claims and therapeutic efficacy in these specialized healthcare sectors.

It also appears in premium food and beverage applications where clean-label, plant-derived antioxidant ingredients are specified. The extract is typically supplied as a dry powder or spray-dried extract, with liquid and paste forms available.

Standard grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade, with standardized specifications based on glucosinolate or sulforaphane content. These specifications depend on the intended application and the specific requirements of the purchasing manufacturer.

Organic-certified material is commercially available for buyers requiring clean-label or certified supply chains. This ensures compliance with international standards for natural products and meets the growing demand for sustainable chemical sourcing.
