Marigold Extract is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from Tagetes erecta flowers, primarily valued for its high lutein content. Produced via solvent extraction and purification processes, it serves as a potent natural colorant and antioxidant. The core active compounds are xanthophylls; however, specific molecular formulas vary by extract ratio, and no single CAS number applies to the crude botanical material itself.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions below 25°C with protection from light to prevent oxidation. While generally recognized as safe (GRAS), clinical use should avoid excessive dosages without medical supervision. Personnel handling concentrated powders must wear respiratory protection to minimize inhalation risks.
