First and foremost, Apigenin is a natural flavone bioactive compound extracted from chamomile, celery and citrus plants. This water-insoluble plant flavonoid delivers powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and calming effects without harsh irritation. For this reason, pharmaceutical factories, sleep-support supplement brands and sensitive skincare manufacturers widely adopt this standardized herbal raw material across multiple production lines.
1. Basic Product Properties
To start with, apigenin appears as pale yellow fine crystalline powder with faint herbal plant odor. In addition, it dissolves in ethanol, DMSO and propylene glycol while barely soluble in cold and hot water. Meanwhile, light-proof sealed cool storage effectively prevents flavone oxidation and retains complete biological activity. On the contrary, prolonged exposure to strong UV light and high temperature will fade its color and reduce anti-oxidative capacity. Besides that, we supply HPLC purity grades ranging from 98% to 99% to meet pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industrial standards.
2. Professional Production Technology
We select high-quality dried chamomile flowers as primary extraction feedstock. Firstly, workers crush and sieve raw herbal materials to remove stem and dust impurities. Next, low-temperature alcohol reflux extracts crude flavone mixtures from plant tissues. After that, macroporous resin purification and repeated recrystallization raise finished apigenin to target purity levels. Furthermore, every finished batch undergoes strict HPLC component, heavy metal and microbial limit testing. Thus, stable qualified Apigenin is ready for global bulk shipment.

3. Core Product Advantages
Compared with mixed crude chamomile extract, our purified apigenin has fixed stable flavone content with consistent batch performance. In addition, it combines sleep-calming, anti-oxidation and anti-redness triple functions to simplify multi-ingredient formulas. Moreover, triple food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical grades satisfy oral supplement and topical skincare production separately. Meanwhile, pure plant-derived origin contains no synthetic chemical residues for clean-label product development.
4. Wide Application Fields
4.1 Sleep Calming Nutritional Supplements
For instance, it acts as core gentle sedative additive in stress relief capsules and sleep-support oral granules to ease nervous overexcitation.
4.2 Anti-Inflammatory Pharmaceutical Intermediates
Blend apigenin into compound herbal preparations for auxiliary relief of mild inflammatory discomfort in body tissues.
4.3 Sensitive Skin Repair Skincare Raw Materials
Beyond edible usage, this flavone ingredient suppresses inflammatory factors, fades facial redness and stabilizes sensitive skin in soothing facial essences and masks.
