Hibiscus Flower Extract 9% Anthocyanidins (Comext) is a botanical extract powder made from hibiscus flower material—commonly associated with Hibiscus sabdariffa L.—and standardized to 9% anthocyanidins. It is supplied as a bulk raw material for B2B buyers seeking a specification-defined, plant-derived ingredient for nutraceutical, functional food, and cosmetic/personal care development.
Anthocyanidins are naturally occurring pigment compounds in many plants, and hibiscus-derived extracts are frequently selected for polyphenol/plant pigment positioning and formulation versatility in dry blends. This Comext extract is listed as freely soluble in water, which can support dispersion in select premix and beverage-style systems (final performance depends on the complete formula and processing conditions).
Applications
- Dietary supplements (capsules, tablets, powder blends, stick packs)
- Functional foods & beverages (instant drink mixes, nutrition premixes, ready-to-mix powders)
- Botanical/polyphenol blends for ingredient-led positioning (claims per local regulations)
- Cosmetic & personal care concepts where botanical extracts are used for product positioning (region- and formula-dependent)
