Natural Functional Ingredients
Our natural functional ingredients provide stable quality and active components for food, cosmetics and health brands. Our team is proficient in water extraction and supercritical extraction. Our factory is equipped with 700LX3 supercritical extraction equipment, offering customers standardized and fully documented plant-based functional ingredients.
What “Natural Functional Ingredients” Really Mean to Us
Most suppliers use the term “natural ingredients” very loosely — from simple dried powders to random extracts with unclear active content.
We take a very different approach.
At KosNature, a natural functional ingredients must meet three conditions:
1.It comes from a natural botanical or fermentation source
2.It delivers a measurable function
(antioxidant capacity, whitening efficacy, anti-inflammatory activity, aroma, color stability, flavor, and so on.)
3.Its active components and quality parameters are traceable and consistent across batches
Because in real projects, “natural but unstable” “Insufficient purity” is the biggest pain point for R&D teams and procurement managers.Our job is to make natural ingredients as reliable as industrial ingredients — without losing their natural origin.For some products such as magnolol, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, and so on., our content can reach 99.8 %.
Why Brands Choose KosNature for Natural Functional Ingredients
① We control variability — the hardest part of natural ingredients
Natural extracts fluctuate due to:
harvest season
growing region
drying conditions
extraction parameters
We reduce these variations by:
fixed sourcing areas, establish own planting base
long-term raw material partners
batch recording & active-content tracking
standardized extraction & refining steps
This is why many customers who struggled with “inconsistent quality” eventually come to us.
②Application support you can actually use
R&D teams often face practical problems:
pigment changes
pH incompatibility
layering in emulsions
solubility issues
odor masking
We provide:
recommended dosage ranges
compatibility suggestions
color & odor considerations
application notes based on real cases
Not “textbook advice”, but practical experience from repeated customer projects.
