Dandelion Extract 

Dandelion extract is standardized botanical raw material extracted from the roots, leaves or whole herb of Taraxacum officinale, the official Latin botanical name of dandelion. Its core bioactive markers include taraxasterol, dandelion flavonoids and chicoric acid, which support two top high-growth commercial tracks: liver detoxification & natural anti-inflammation.
Unlike raw dandelion herb, concentrated extract delivers stable active content, easy formulation compatibility and long shelf life, making it a mainstream clean-label plant ingredient for global dietary supplements, functional beverages and skincare cosmetics.
