Horse chestnut extract is a standardized plant‑based raw material extracted from the seeds of Aesculus hippocastanum. Aescin is its primary active constituent, widely applied in global dietary supplement and topical care product formulas focusing on vascular comfort and skin care.

Our horse chestnut extract is produced through ethanol‑water dual‑phase extraction, purification and spray‑drying technology. Multiple separation steps remove seed oil, fiber residues and irrelevant impurities to retain standardized aescin. Many horse chestnut extracts sold in bulk market suffer from unstable aescin content caused by raw material fluctuation and simplified processing, which brings risks to finished‑product quality. Our horse chestnut extract powder shows even color, fine particle and good powder flow property, delivering stable batch‑to‑batch performance for large‑scale formulation. No artificial dyes, synthetic preservatives or extra fillers are added during whole production procedure.

Our Supplier Advantages

We keep stable horse chestnut seed supply and complete extraction, purification and drying production lines. Strict internal quality control guarantees reliable quality for bulk export orders.

• Strict raw material screening: Select qualified horse chestnut seeds; regular testing includes heavy metals, pesticide residues and microbial indicators.

• Optimized purification process: Effectively removes seed grease and miscellaneous impurities, ensures stable aescin content.

• Batch‑by‑batch full inspection: Each lot completes HPLC aescin test, moisture, heavy‑metal and microbial detection before shipment.

• Custom service available: Support aescin content adjustment, particle‑size modification and private‑label packaging solutions.

• Flexible ordering: 1 kg sample order is acceptable. Complete export documents including COA, MSDS and test reports can be provided for customs clearance.

Packaging & Storage Guidelines

• Standard Export Packaging: 1 kg aluminum foil bag; 25 kg food‑grade fiber drum with inner plastic lining bag

• Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, dark and ventilated warehouse. Stay away from high temperature, moisture and direct sunlight.

• Important Reminder: Keep tightly sealed after opening. Aescin is sensitive to humidity and oxidation; improper storage will trigger color change and activity loss.

FAQ

Q1: What is the key testing component for horse chestnut extract?
A1: Total aescin is the core active marker for commercial horse chestnut extract, which is widely recognized by global supplement manufacturers. We can supply products matching your target aescin specification.

Q2: What is the difference between horse chestnut seed powder and concentrated horse chestnut extract?
A2: Raw seed powder contains large amount of grease and fiber with low aescin content. Concentrated extract enriches aescin active substances with stable test data, more suitable for standardized finished‑product production.

Q3: What about MOQ and lead‑time?
A3: MOQ starts at 1 kg for sample evaluation. Bulk goods are normally in stock. Custom‑spec orders need separate lead‑time confirmation.
