Bambusa arundinacea stem extract

Bambusa arundinacea stem extract (CAS 91771-32-3) is derived from the stems of the thorny bamboo plant and delivers a concentrated source of naturally occurring silica, flavonoids, and amino acids. In personal care and nutraceutical formulations, it functions as an antioxidant, humectant, and skin-conditioning agent.

In cosmetic formulations, the extract is incorporated into serums, moisturizers, and hair care products where its silica content supports skin texture and moisture retention. Nutraceutical manufacturers use it as a plant-derived source of bioavailable silica and amino acids in capsule and tablet formats targeting structural wellness.

In food and beverage applications, it is evaluated as a functional ingredient contributing antioxidant activity to fortified products. Pharmaceutical formulators also source it as a botanical excipient or active botanical ingredient in topical and oral preparations.

Bambusa arundinacea stem extract is typically supplied as a dry powder or as a standardized liquid extract, with powder being the most common commercial form. Grades are available for cosmetic, food-grade, and pharmaceutical applications.

Standardization is often referenced against silica or flavonoid content to ensure consistent potency across batches. Specifications aligned with FCC and Ph.Eur. general botanical extract requirements are available from select suppliers.
