Plant-based ingredients and natural products continue to trend among retailers and consumers. One of our latest ingredients is a unique and relatively new ingredient in the cosmetic sphere: Daikon Seed Extract.
Expeller pressed from the seeds ofthe daikon radish, this liquid carries a light-yellow appearance and characteristic aroma. It contains sunflower seed oil and rosemary extract for a longer shelf life.
The daikon radish, Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus, is native to Eastern Asia. It has been cultivated for centuries for culinary usage, but only in recent years has its seeds been used for oil production.
This extract has several qualities that are beneficial for a variety of topical products.
- Unique composition: Daikon seed extract is comprised of several C18 fatty acids, as well as C20:1 (eicosanoic), and C22:1 (erucic) fatty acids, a combination that is rarer to find in plant oils
- Lightweight feel: The sensory profile of this natural ingredient is said to rival synthetics, making it a preferred choice for silicone-free products
- Minimal impact on product: With its light hue, transparent quality, and little aroma, daikon seed extract will provide benefits with little effect on scent and visuals
