Nardostachys jatamansi extract

Nardostachys jatamansi extract (CAS 90064-28-1), also marketed as spikenard root extract, is a botanical-derived ingredient sourced from the rhizomes of the Himalayan spikenard plant. It delivers characteristic earthy, woody, and musky aromatic notes alongside antioxidant activity.

This makes it a sought-after input across fragrance, cosmetic, and nutraceutical supply chains. In fine fragrance and flavor manufacturing, spikenard root extract contributes deep, resinous base notes used to anchor oriental and woody fragrance compositions.

It can also add complexity to functional flavor systems. Personal care formulators incorporate it into skin care serums, hair care products, and aromatherapy preparations where its antioxidant properties support formula stability and sensory differentiation.

In nutraceutical and dietary supplement production, it is used as a botanical active in capsule and extract formats targeting stress and wellness positioning. Pharmaceutical-adjacent applications include its use in traditional medicine-inspired formulations.

Standardized botanical extracts are required for consistency across batches in these sectors. Nardostachys jatamansi extract is typically supplied as a dry powder or liquid extract, with solvent-based and water-soluble variants available to suit different requirements.

Standardized grades specifying key marker compounds are available for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Cosmetic-grade material is offered to meet regional regulatory requirements and specific formulation needs.

Bulk supply is generally available in kilogram to metric ton quantities depending on extraction method and specification. This ensures a reliable supply chain for large-scale industrial manufacturing and specialized product development.
