Premium Marigold

What Is Marigold Extract Powder?

The colourful marigold petals (Tagetes erecta L.) produce a concentrated botanical compound. Lutein and zeaxanthin, lipophilic retinal pigments, are included.

These natural substances filter blue light and neutralise free radicals to protect your eyes from oxidative damage. The orange-red extract is antioxidant, photoprotective, and anti-inflammatory.

Beyond eye health, marigold extract is a clean-label food colourant and a UV protection and brightness element in cosmetic goods.

Key Benefits and Applications

Vision Health Supplements

The macular area of your retina has high concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin. They function as natural blue-light filters and antioxidants and may lower the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts.

Our Direct Compression (DC) grade beadlets limit oil loss during tableting, producing stable softgels and hard tablets that help sustain eye health over the long term.

Functional Drinks & Premixes

Cold Water Soluble (CWS) formulations use nano-emulsion technology to solve the “ring phenomenon” – oil separation that affects product appearance. Our powder may be safely used in fortified beverages, liquid shots and premixes with consistent turbidity and no sedimentation throughout shelf life.

Natural Colourant

The bright orange-yellow pigment offers a clean label alternative to synthetic colourants in baked goods, drinks, dairy products and baby formula. It adds both visual and nutritional value without sacrificing flavour.

Beauty & Skincare

Antioxidant flavonoids and carotenoids in marigold extract for skin protection against UV-induced oxidative damage . Formulators use it to serums, creams and lotions to help improve brightness, minimise photodamage and maintain barrier function.

Additives for poultry feed

Highly saponified (>98%) marigold extract guarantees that the carotenoids are in the “free” state for fast deposition in grill skin and egg yolks. This improves the natural yellow-orange pigmentation and meets the customer desire for attractive chicken products.
