Premium Natural Carotenoid Powder for Vibrant, Nutrient-Rich Formulations

High-purity plant-based colors for use in food, drinks, and supplements

Are you looking to naturally enhance the color and nutritional value of your products? We utilize premium, non-GMO marigolds and carrots to craft high-quality carotenoid powder, offering a spectrum of hues ranging from brilliant bright yellows to deep, rich reds. Companies in the functional food, vitamin, and cosmetics sectors particularly favor our carotenoid bulk powders for their exceptional stability and the superior "natural" appeal they lend to product labeling. Containing an active carotenoid content of 10% to 20%, this product serves as an ideal natural alternative to synthetic colorants. We guarantee that—even when subjected to the rigors of light exposure and high temperatures—the degradation rate of active ingredients in every batch remains significantly lower than the industry average, thereby comprehensively resolving the technical challenges associated with carotenoids in finished products, such as susceptibility to oxidation, stratification, and fading.

Carotenoid Powder

Why Should You Buy Our Carotenoid Powder?

Brands who desire bright, natural colors without any ingredients should use Carotenoid extract Powder. We use high-quality, non-GMO beta-carotene in our powder. Adds antioxidants and blends readily into meals. Our carotenoids stay bright and stable in cold-pressed juices and hot snacks.

Main Benefits

  • 100% Natural: Derived from plant extracts rather than synthetic colorants.
  • Full-Spectrum Blend: We specialize not merely in providing single components, but in producing carotenoid blends that precisely mimic natural ratios. We focus on crafting an "optimal ratio" of beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, cryptoxanthin, and zeaxanthin; this full-spectrum synergy significantly enhances bioavailability at the cellular level.
  • Dual Encapsulation Technology: To address the inherent susceptibility of carotenoids to oxidation, we employ advanced polymeric materials to create a protective dual-layer encapsulation.
  • CWD Grade: Achieves instant solubility in cold water, yielding a clear solution free of oil rings—ideal for use in functional beverages.
  • Strict Control over Pesticide and Solvent Residues: We adhere to the latest EU (EC) directives and USP pharmacopoeia standards, ensuring that levels for over 500 pesticide parameters—as well as ethanol residues—remain well below established limits.
  • Rich in Antioxidants: Effectively enhances the nutritional value of the final product.
  • Process Stability: Maintains consistent performance and integrity, even when exposed to heat, light, or pH fluctuations.
  • Instant Solubility: Blends and dissolves effortlessly in both liquid and solid formulations.

Orally ingested carotenoids significantly enhance the skin's "natural sun protection factor," combating photoaging and making them an ideal fit for premium beauty supplements.

3、Immune Modulation and Antioxidant Network:

As lipid-soluble antioxidants, carotenoid work synergistically with Vitamin E to shield cell membranes from free radical damage, finding widespread application in healthy aging initiatives.
