Purple coneflower root

Purple coneflower root (CAS 90028-20-9), commercially sourced as Echinacea purpurea extract, is a standardized botanical extract derived from the root of Echinacea purpurea. It is used across pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and personal care markets.

The extract is valued primarily for its immunomodulatory and antioxidant activity. Buyers source it as a functional ingredient for finished product formulations requiring documented botanical origin and standardized active content.

In dietary supplements and nutraceuticals, it is formulated into capsules, tablets, and liquid drops targeting immune support positioning. Pharmaceutical manufacturers incorporate it into OTC preparations where botanical actives require defined specifications.

Batch consistency is critical for these industrial applications. In personal care, it is used in topical formulations such as creams, serums, and scalp treatments where antioxidant and skin-conditioning claims are supported by the extract.

Food and beverage producers apply it in functional teas, wellness shots, and fortified drinks where natural botanical labeling is a commercial requirement. This versatility makes it a staple in the wellness industry.

Purple coneflower root extract is supplied as a dry powder or liquid extract, with dry forms being the most common for solid dosage manufacturing. Standard grades include food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications.

Material is often standardized to defined levels of alkylamides or polysaccharides depending on the application. Organic-certified material is available from select suppliers to meet clean-label and natural product market requirements.
