Lettuce extract

Lettuce extract (CAS 84776-66-9), also known commercially as Lactuca sativa ext., is a plant-derived ingredient obtained from Lactuca sativa used across food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical applications.

It delivers mild flavoring character and antioxidant activity, making it a functional botanical in both ingestible and topical formulations. In food and beverage formulations, it contributes natural flavoring.

It provides mild stabilizing properties to functional drinks, health foods, and ready-to-eat products targeting clean-label positioning. Nutraceutical manufacturers incorporate it into dietary supplements and capsule blends.

In these applications, botanical antioxidant support is a primary formulation objective. In personal care, it is used in skin-conditioning creams, serums, and toners where plant-based ingredients are preferred.

Pharmaceutical and healthcare product developers also use it as a botanical excipient or active component in mild sedative and relaxation-oriented formulations. It is typically supplied as a liquid or dry powder.

Standard grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with some suppliers offering standardized extracts. Buyers should confirm solvent systems and extraction ratios when evaluating global suppliers.

Applicable compliance documentation may include FCC or Ph.Eur. botanical monograph alignment. These standards ensure the material meets the necessary purity requirements for industrial use.
