Plantain extract

Plantain extract (CAS 84929-43-1), derived from Plantago major, is a botanical ingredient used across cosmetic, nutraceutical, and food applications. It delivers antioxidant, soothing, and stabilizing activity sourced from a well-established medicinal herb.

Procurement teams source it as a standardized liquid or dry extract for use in finished formulations. In personal care, it is incorporated into creams, serums, and scalp treatments where its properties support product stability.

Its skin-conditioning properties support consumer positioning around botanical actives. Food and beverage manufacturers use it as a natural flavoring and functional ingredient in herbal teas, health drinks, and dietary supplements.

Nutraceutical formulators include it in capsule and tablet formats targeting antioxidant support claims within regulatory frameworks that permit botanical ingredients. This ensures compliance with global safety standards.

Pharmaceutical and OTC topical product developers also use it as a functional botanical component in formulations. It is often selected where plant-derived actives are preferred over synthetic alternatives for specific applications.

Plantain extract is supplied as a liquid extract, dry powder, or spray-dried powder. Glycerin- and water-based liquid formats are the most common in cosmetic supply chains for ease of formulation and stability.

Standard grades include cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications. Some suppliers offer standardized extracts defined by marker compounds such as aucubin or acteoside content to ensure consistent potency and quality.

Organic-certified material is available for brands requiring certified botanical sourcing. These extracts meet rigorous industry benchmarks and are suitable for high-end formulations requiring premium natural ingredients.
