Echinacea angustifolia extract

Echinacea angustifolia extract (CAS 84696-11-7) is a standardized botanical extract derived from the roots of narrowleaf coneflower, supplied to pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and personal care manufacturers. It delivers a concentrated profile of alkamides, polysaccharides, and caffeic acid derivatives that formulators target for immune-modulating and antioxidant activity in finished products.

In dietary supplements and nutraceuticals, it is formulated into capsules, tablets, and liquid tinctures positioned around immune support, one of the highest-volume botanical supplement categories globally. Pharmaceutical manufacturers incorporate it into OTC preparations such as throat lozenges, syrups, and herbal medicinal products where standardized alkylamide content is a key quality parameter.

Personal care formulators use it in skin-conditioning products, including serums and topical creams, where its antioxidant activity supports preservation of formulation integrity and skin-facing claims. Functional food and beverage producers apply it in teas, wellness shots, and fortified drinks targeting the immunity-positioned consumer segment. The extract is available as a dry powder and as a liquid.

Standard grades include food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with common standardization to defined levels of alkylamides or total phenolic content for various industrial applications. Organic-certified material is commercially available for suppliers serving natural and clean-label markets, ensuring compliance with global regulatory requirements and consumer demand for purity.
