FAQ

Q: How should I add this ingredient to products that are sensitive to heat?

A: When your mixture warms up to above 60°C, add the extract during the cooling part. Shikonin derivatives can be changed by heat, and this method keeps their bioactive qualities while they are being processed.

Q: What changes the color in places with different pH levels?

A: The extract naturally shows what the pH level is. It stays the same reddish-purple color in neutral to acidic situations but changes to a bluedish-purple color in alkaline ones. To keep the color stable, keep the mixtures below pH 7.

Q: Can I use your extract in goods that are made with water?

A: Yes, our water-soluble grade works well with water-based devices. We've made the processing better so that there is full dispersion in serums, toners, and other similar products without any precipitation.

Q: What kind of paperwork do you give to make sure you follow the rules?

A: Every order comes with an MSDS, an allergen statement, a non-GMO statement, and any necessary organic documents. We also offer full regulatory dossiers that help people enter foreign markets.

Q: Can the shikonin quantity be changed?

A: Of course. Because of how flexible our production is, we can standardize extracts to meet your exact needs. We can change the particle sizes, concentration levels, and solubility profiles to fit the needs of your recipe.

Q: How long does it last if it's stored properly?

A: The extract stays stable for 24 months if it is kept in a cool, dark place below 25°C. To keep the active pigments from photo-oxidizing, keep it away from UV light and air.
