Aspalathus linearis extract

Aspalathus linearis extract (CAS 776295-36-4), derived from the South African rooibos plant, is sourced for its concentrated polyphenol content and used across food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical manufacturing. It delivers antioxidant activity and a characteristic mild, slightly sweet flavor profile that supports both functional and sensory formulation goals. In food and beverage manufacturing, it functions as a natural antioxidant.

It is used as a flavoring agent in teas, ready-to-drink beverages, and functional food products. Nutraceutical formulators incorporate it into dietary supplements and capsule blends targeting antioxidant support positioning. In personal care, it is used in skin-facing formulations such as creams, serums, and toners. Its polyphenol content supports oxidative stability and aligns with clean-label ingredient preferences for modern brands.

Pharmaceutical and healthcare product developers also source it for inclusion in standardized botanical preparations. This extract is supplied as a dry powder or spray-dried powder, with liquid extract forms available. Common grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade, with standardized variants specifying aspalathin or total polyphenol content. Organic-certified material is commercially available for brands requiring documentation.

The material is produced to meet rigorous industry requirements, including FCC and USP quality standards where applicable. This ensures consistency and safety across various industrial and commercial applications.
