What Is Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract?
Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract is a liquid extract of the root of Astragalus membranaceus, a Fabaceae legume native to northern and eastern China, Mongolia and Korea, delivered in a butylene glycol carrier. Butylene glycol is a cosmetic-grade humectant, which makes this a topical, cosmetic-grade preparation rather than an ingestible one. It is supplied full-spectrum and non-standardized, giving personal-care developers the root's naturally occurring constituents rather than an isolated fraction.
Market Demand
Astragalus has crossed from traditional herbal practice into mainstream botanical skincare, and the wider ingredient category keeps advancing: Market.us projects the astragalus root extract market to expand at a 3.9% CAGR through 2033. A butylene glycol liquid lets cosmetic brands carry that recognizable heritage-botanical name onto an INCI list without engineering around a powder.
Formulation Applications
The butylene glycol format drops into serums, essences, toners, sheet-mask fluids, hydrating gels and lightweight moisturizers, dispersing into the water phase during standard cold blending. It dilutes cleanly for lower use levels and pairs with other water-phase botanicals in aqueous cosmetic matrices. Astragalus carries a long heritage in traditional botanical practice, giving personal-care brands a recognizable story for heritage-botanical positioning.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Bio-Botanica has extracted botanicals at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York since 1972, processing this root with the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat method to hold a Holistically Balanced profile of naturally occurring constituents. Every lot moves through an onsite quality lab covering HPLC, ICP/MS, microbial and USP testing, and Kosher, Halal and Organic certification is available on request. Cosmetic samples ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, representative COA and SDS.
Common Buyer Questions
What is Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract, and what species and plant part does it come from?
Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract is a liquid extract made from the root of Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus), a member of the Fabaceae family, native to Northern and eastern China, Mongolia, and Korea. It is produced by Bio-Botanica through our proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process, which is designed to preserve a Holistically Balanced, full-spectrum profile of its naturally occurring constituents.
What extract form is this, and what is it carried in?
This is a Butylene Glycol Extract — the botanical is delivered in a butylene glycol carrier. Butylene glycol is what the finished Astragalus membranaceus root extract is delivered in, not what the root was extracted with — Bio-Botanica extracts on its Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction platform.
Does Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract contain alcohol?
No. Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract is carried in butylene glycol and is not an ethanol-based tincture or fluid extract. For residual solvent or processing details, refer to the Spec Sheet/TDS and representative COA that accompany samples.
Is Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract standardized to a specific compound?
Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract is a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced extract and is non-standardized. It is designed to reflect the naturally occurring constituents of the root rather than an isolated, quantified compound.
Is Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract for ingestible or topical formulas?
Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract is formulated for cosmetic and personal-care products and is intended for topical use only. Its butylene glycol carrier is a cosmetic-grade humectant, which distinguishes it from Bio-Botanica's full-strength Alcohol-Free Extracts, formulated for food, beverage and supplement products.
What applications and formats is Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract suited for?
It suits serums, essences, toners, sheet-mask fluids, hydrating gels and lightweight moisturizers. As a water-phase liquid it blends into aqueous cosmetic bases during standard cold processing and dilutes cleanly for lower use levels.
What industries and positioning does Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract fit?
It fits the Cosmetics and Personal Care category as an ingredient. Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is a long-standing botanical in traditional practice, which gives brands heritage-botanical positioning for personal-care lines — framing intended for structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim.
Where does the Astragalus originate?
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is native to Northern and eastern China, Mongolia, and Korea. Sourcing and country-of-origin details for a given lot are documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS that accompanies samples.
How does Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract behave for solubility and compatibility?
As a butylene glycol-based liquid, Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract is intended for water-compatible formulations where a botanical liquid can be blended into your matrix. We recommend reviewing the Spec Sheet/TDS and evaluating a sample within your specific formulation to confirm compatibility and handling.
What certifications are available for this ingredient?
Bio-Botanica operates under NSF, cGMP, and FSSC 22000 quality systems, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available. Our facility in Hauppauge, New York is FDA-inspected; specific certification for your order can be confirmed with our team.
What documentation ships with Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract?
Samples ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative Certificate of Analysis (COA), and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). These document the extract form, carrier, and testing so your team can evaluate the ingredient against your specifications.
How is Astragalus Root Butylene Glycol Extract sold, and what about samples and MOQ?
