Products Description
Natural Passion Flower Extract Powder | 98% Flavonoids (HPLC Verified) | Passionflower for Sleep, Anxiety & Skincare Formulations
Our Passion Flower Extract Powder is a premium bioactive extract sourced from organic passion flower (Passiflora incarnata) aerial parts-harvested from Colombia's Andes Mountains (altitude 1800-2200m) and China's Yunnan Plateau, regions renowned for nutrient-dense passion flower with 3.5-4.0% total flavonoid content (5x higher than ordinary varieties). Standardized to 98% total flavonoids (luteolin, apigenin) via HPLC verification, this light green to yellowish-brown fine powder is the key active component in natural wellness formulations, clinically proven to deliver gentle sedative, anxiety-relieving, and antioxidant benefits .
Unlike conventional ethanol-extracted passion flower (which retains 10-15ppm residual solvents), our product uses supercritical CO₂ extraction-operating at 48°C and 320 bar to avoid heat-induced degradation of flavonoid structures. This process preserves 99% of bioactivity, resulting in a powder with a subtle floral aroma, no bitter aftertaste, and excellent solubility (oil-soluble standard, water-soluble variants available) for versatile formulations.
Fully compliant with global standards (FDA 21 CFR §172.200, EU 1334/2008, USP 46), our passion flower extract contains no GMOs, pesticides, or artificial additives. It's vegan, gluten-free, and Kosher-certified, making it ideal for "clean label" sleep supplements, anti-anxiety products, and calming skincare. Trusted by 180+ global brands (from nutraceutical leaders to premium wellness lines), our extract delivers consistent efficacy, full traceability (from passion flower farm to finished powder), and regulatory peace of mind.

Solution: We supplied 98% purity passion flower extract (2% addition) with hyaluronic acid (stabilizes flavonoids) and vitamin E (antioxidant). We provided irritation test data (0% sensitization) and stability reports (12-month efficacy retention). EU organic certification supported "natural" label claims.
Result: The serum became a bestseller in South Korea/Japan, capturing 18% of the calming skincare market. 90% of users reported "reduced redness" in 24 hours, irritation complaints were 0%. Annual sales hit $4.5M, and the brand extended the line to a passion flower-based eye cream.
