Tribulus Terrestris Extract

Product Description

Our standardized Tribulus Terrestris Extract is derived from authenticated Tribulus terrestris fruit via controlled hydroalcoholic extraction with batch COA traceability, supplying formulators direct factory pricing and flexible kilogram-to-tonne bulk volumes.

Protodioscin and total saponin markers—quantified by HPLC—support follicular microenvironment balance, scavenge reactive oxygen species, and modulate inflammatory signaling, delivering concentrated phytocomplex activity in hair tonic, body-firming, and anti-aging scalp serums.

Unlike whole-fruit milled powders with lower marker density and sedimentation risk, this CosIng-listed extract suits clear serum and tonic lines where formulators want HPLC-verified saponin assays and solvent-standardized batch consistency.

Key Benefits & Applications

This standardized extract supports hair vitality, antioxidant, and body-firming claims through saponin-rich Tribulus terrestris suited to scalp serum and body-care formulators.

• Hair Growth Stimulation: Saponin markers help support follicular microenvironment balance in leave-on scalp serums and hair tonics.
• Antioxidant Protection: Protodioscin and fruit polyphenols neutralize oxidative stress in scalp and anti-aging skin care formulas.
• Firming & Lifting Support: Supports body-contouring massage creams and firming body lotion lines with concentrated botanical saponins.
• Anti-Aging Defense: Helps limit matrix-degrading enzyme activity in mature-scalp and photo-exposed skin treatment emulsions.
• Anti-Inflammatory Modulation: Calms irritated scalp conditions in sensitive daily-care shampoos and soothing tonics.
• Body Care Refresh: Integrates into body serums and sport-care gels for firming and invigorating body-care portfolios.

Formulation Guidelines

Introduce standardized tribulus extract in aqueous or hydroalcoholic phases; confirm saponin assay and preservation for water-rich hair and body systems.

• Recommended use level: 0.5–3% w/w in scalp serums; 1–3% in body creams (Typical).
• Optimal formula pH: Maintain 4.5–7.0; saponin stability best in mildly acidic to neutral systems (Typical).
• Processing: Pre-dissolve in water, glycerin, or ethanol before adding to water phase at 30–40°C.
• Compatibility: Works with ginseng, drynaria, and panthenol; avoid prolonged heating above 80°C.
• Caution: Higher saponin levels may increase foaming in surfactant systems—screen sensory and stability at scale.
• Synergy: Pair Drynaria Fortunei Root Extract at 1–3% with tribulus saponins in TCM hair-revival leave-on scalp essences.
