Bamboo Extract

Bamboo Extract factory bulk

  1. English Name: Bamboo Extract (sometimes called “Bamboo Silica Extract” because silica’s the star ingredient here!). It’s made by steeping or distilling bamboo stems/shoots to pull out all the good, active bits—no harsh chemicals involved.
  2. Specification:
    • Key Active: ≥8% Silica (tested via HPLC—silica’s what makes bamboo extract great for skin, hair, and nails). We also offer a 10% silica version for stronger potency.
    • Solubility: Fully water-soluble (mixes smooth in serums, drinks, or supplement blends—no weird clumps or residue).
    • Purity: Food/cosmetic-grade, no additives, dyes, or preservatives (we keep it simple—just bamboo and water, basically).
    • Moisture (for powdered extract, if you need it): ≤0.5% (keeps it dry and free-flowing; liquid extract has a stable pH of 5.5–6.5).
  3. Appearance:
    • Liquid extract: Clear to pale yellow liquid (like weak honey water)—totally see-through, no cloudiness.
    • Powdered extract: Light off-white to pale beige powder (soft, not gritty).

      Scent? Mild, earthy, and grassy—like walking through a fresh bamboo grove. Zero chocolate smell—promise.

  4. CAS NO.: Quick heads-up—bamboo extract is a blend of natural compounds (not a single chemical), so it doesn’t have one specific CAS number. But its main star, silica (silicon dioxide), has a CAS: 7631-86-9. That’s the number you’ll see on lab reports for purity checks.
  5. Lead Time: 3–7 Working Days. We keep our top-selling 8% and 10% silica extracts in stock year-round—no waiting for bamboo harvests. Perfect for last-minute skincare batches or supplement restocks.
  6. Package:
    • Liquid extract: Small sizes (1L/5L dark glass bottles—amber blocks light to keep it stable) or bulk (25kg food-grade plastic drums, lined with a moisture-proof film).
    • Powdered extract: 25kg drums (lined with aluminum foil to lock in freshness) with 27 drums per tray. We toss in desiccant packs to stop clumping, too.
  7. Main Market: It’s big globally, but each region uses it for something specific:
    • North America: Skincare brands (adds to serums for elasticity) and supplement companies (hair/nail support blends).
    • Europe: Natural cosmetics (moisturizers, anti-aging products) and wellness drinks (adds silica without altering taste).
    • Asia: Traditional wellness products (herbal mixes for joint health) and functional foods (snacks with added nutrients).
  8. Applications & Key Benefits:
    • Skincare:
      • Serums/moisturizers: Mix in 2%–5% liquid extract—boosts skin elasticity, soothes redness, and helps with dry patches (great for sensitive or mature skin).
      • Face masks: Add powdered extract to clay masks—draws out mild impurities without drying skin.
    • Dietary Supplements:
      • Capsules/powders: 50–100mg per serving—supports strong nails and shiny hair (silica helps build collagen, which keeps those looking healthy).
      • Joint health blends: Paired with glucosamine—supports flexible joints (good for people who move a lot, like athletes).
    • Functional Drinks/Foods:
      • Smoothies/teas: Stir 1–2ml liquid extract or ½ tsp powder—adds nutrients without a bitter aftertaste.
      • Vegan snacks: Mixed into energy bars—adds a subtle earthy note and extra nutrition.
    • Pet Care: Small amounts in dog/cat supplements—supports healthy coats and joint mobility for senior pets.
  9. Quick Tips:
    • For liquids: Store dark glass bottles away from windows—light breaks down silica over time.
    • For powders: Stir into warm liquids first to dissolve—cold works too, but warm is faster.
    • Dosage: Stick to recommended amounts—too much silica (over 150mg daily for adults) can cause mild stomach upset.
