Rosehip Extract Powder

Premium Rosehip Extract Powder – Natural Vitamin C Powerhouse for Health & Wellness

We have over 20 years of experience since 2001, operating a state-of-the-art 20,000-square-meter facility that combines current extraction technology, 100,000-level purification workshops and SGS-certified laboratories to deliver botanical components that answer genuine formulation issues. Our Rosehip Extract Powder targets key industry pain areas including synthetic Vitamin C instability, customer demand for clean-label alternatives and the requirement for high-bioavailability antioxidants. Each batch is guaranteed to be up to international standards using state-of-the-art spray drying technology and high-quality testing to retain heat-sensitive galactolipids and the natural phytochemical matrix.

Rosehip Extract Factory

Our rosehip extract is a concentrated botanical extract carefully obtained from Rosa canina pseudo-fruits, standardised for naturally occurring Vitamin C, polyphenols, flavonoids and active galactolipids. Solvent extracted and spray dried to remove irritating trichomes and stabilise volatile nutrients, this fine reddish-brown powder is perfect for capsule filling, tablet compression and complex emulsions. Extraction ratios of 4:1 to 20:1 and more than 95% via 80 grit sieves ensures good flowability and constant bioactive delivery.

Third Test Report

Authorized Third-Party Validation: Shaanxi Hongda partners with internationally recognised testing agencies like SGS and Eurofins to offer complete validation beyond internal quality management. They include independent studies on the screening of pesticide residues, heavy metals analysis, microbiological safety and nutritional profiling providing full regulatory compliance for export markets.

Pesticide Residue Testing: Broad spectrum multi-residue testing for over 200 pesticides to confirm compliance with EU MRL limits, consumer safety and compliance with ORGANIC certification for pesticide-free agricultural methods.

Rosehip Extract Powder Advantages

Superior Vitamin C Stability: Unlike synthetic ascorbic acid, our extract surrounds Vitamin C in a protective bioflavonoid matrix that resists quick oxidation, prolonging shelf-life by 40% in complex formulations, and maintains efficacy throughout heat processing and humid storage conditions.

GOPO Galactolipid Retention: Distinct fatty acid structures are retained through specialised low temperature extraction and have been demonstrated in clinical osteoarthritis studies to enhance joint mobility and provide a natural anti-inflammatory mechanism similar to NSAIDs, without the recognised gastrointestinal side effects.

Production Process

Step 1 – Raw Material Selection: The high quality Rosa canina fruits are hand-harvested from certified organic mountain bases, inspected visually and batch documented for traceability. Moisture meters are used to determine the ideal levels of drying before the processing of the material begins.

Step 2 – Pre-Treatment Cleaning: Industrial washing systems remove field debris and steam blanching inactivates oxidative enzymes, protecting heat-sensitive Vitamin C and establishing microbiological baseline safety before mechanical processing.

Step 3 – Mechanical Separation: Specialised milling equipment opens the fruits and vacuum filtering entirely removes the irritating trichome hairs, avoiding the hazards of allergic reaction and machinery clogging that are associated with raw rosehip powders.

Step 4 – Solvent Extraction: Food-grade ethanol-water combinations are used to extract bioactive compounds using temperature-controlled circulation. Standardised solvent ratios ensure uniform polyphenol and Vitamin C concentrations across batches, providing consistency in formulation performance.

Step 5 – Concentration & Standardisation: Solvents are removed by vacuum evaporation at low temperature to preserve galactolipids. Concentration is adjusted to target specifications by HPLC monitoring to provide a liquid extract ready for final drying transformation.

Step 6 – Spray-Drying Transformation: The liquid extract is atomised with hot air into a fine Rosehip Extract Powder in seconds using maltodextrin carriers to optimise flowability and protect bioactives. Particle size controls ensure 95% pass 80-mesh screening for superior capsule-filling characteristics.

Step 7 – Quality Verification: Each batch is tested at multiple points including checks on appearance, assay verification, moisture analysis, microbial plating and screening for heavy metals. Third-party validation completes the documentation before warehouse release and double-sealed PE bag Packaging to prevent oxidation during storage.

Rosehip Extract Powder Application

Functional Nutraceuticals: The high galactolipid content provides targeted relief for osteoarthritis, while the vitamin C fraction supports collagen synthesis and connective tissue repair. Formulated into softgels and tablets delivering 500-1000mg daily doses for immune support, joint health and cardiovascular wellness.

Advanced Cosmeceuticals: Natural trans-retinoic acid, 2-10% concentrations in anti-aging serums and restructuring creams; accelerates the epidermal turnover reducing hyperpigmentation, stretch marks and photo-aging, through increased dermal regeneration without the irritation of synthetic retinoids.

Functional Beverages: 1-3% dissolved in sports drinks, wellness shots, beauty beverages delivering natural tanginess from organic acids and improving ORAC values and visual appeal via Natural Carotenoid colouring in transparent liquid formats.

Why Choose Us?

Factory – Direct Benefits: We manufacture from our 20000 square meters factory with 3000 tonnes yearly capacity. No middleman markups means competitive price without sacrificing quality. Shorter supply chains means faster market reaction.

Established Expertise: Recognised as a National High-Tech Enterprise since 2001, we bring over 23 years of experience in botanical extraction. You can rely on our production stability and consistent supply, regardless of industry shutdowns affecting less seasoned suppliers.

OEM / ODM Support

Custom Specification Development: Our R&D team works with your brand to develop custom extraction ratios, unique bioactive concentrations, or proprietary blends of rosehip and complementary botanicals, tailored to specific health claims or target demographics through evidence-based formulation science.

Flexible Format Capabilities: We develop a variety of formats from traditional bulk powder, to pre-measured sachets, vegetarian capsules, effervescent tablets or ready-to-mix beverage blends, aligning your market positioning with MOQs flexible enough for emerging brands, but scalable enough to support multinational distribution.

FAQ

Q: What makes your product different to normal ground rosehip?

A: We use solvent extraction to concentrate bioactives like Vitamin C 10-20x while removing unpleasant trichomes and then spray-dry to create a stable, standardised powder with guaranteed efficacy and not a raw fruit powder that can oxidise.

Q: Is this powder clear beverage application suitable?

A: Not exactly, however at 1-3% concentrations it disperses nicely in cloudy juice systems or opaque protein shakes. For crystal clear applications we prefer our liquid rosehip extract format.

Q: How much vitamin C does it contain compared to synthetic ascorbic acid?

A: Our natural Vitamin C is not as pure in concentration (15% vs 100% synthetic) but it is more bioavailable due to the synergistic bioflavonoids included. It often beats isolated synthetics at the same intake level in plasma antioxidant tests.
