Botanical Milk Thistle Powder for Advanced Cosmetic and Wellness Formulations

Milk Thistle Powder is a finely micronized botanical ingredient derived from the seeds of Silybum marianum, a plant long recognized for its potent regenerative and detoxifying properties. This high-performance powder retains its natural bioflavonoid complex, particularly silymarin, through low-temperature processing, making it ideal for use in modern skincare, wellness, and therapeutic formulations. The powder features a pale yellow to beige color, a soft plant-derived scent, and a smooth, dry texture. INCI: Silybum Marianum Seed Powder. It is partially soluble in water and glycerin, disperses well in hydrosols and oil-based systems, and maintains excellent stability across a wide pH range (6.0–7.4), making it suitable for even sensitive skin types.

Industry Applications

Milk Thistle Powder is used extensively in professional cosmetics, pharmaceutical development, nutrition, spa therapy, and clean-label skincare. It supports skin detoxification, calms inflammation, and helps restore skin tone and balance in oily, acne-prone, and reactive skin. In nutraceuticals, it is incorporated into powder blends, capsules, liver-supporting products, and fiber-rich dietary supplements. In personal care, it is used in scalp masks, detox shampoos, facial scrubs, and powder-based cleansers. Its broad functional spectrum makes it a top choice for brands focused on skin health, cellular recovery, and botanical innovation.

Product Integration

The powder is highly versatile in formulation, compatible with both water-based and anhydrous systems. It can be used in clay masks, enzymatic exfoliants, micellar cleansers, pressed powders, emulsified creams, and solid beauty bars. It is also ideal for powder-to-paste products that activate with liquid upon use. Compatible with emulsifiers, surfactants, botanical oils, essential oils, peptides, hydrolyzed proteins, and modern preservation systems, Milk Thistle Powder fits well into both minimal and multi-functional recipes. Its mild particle size provides soft exfoliation while helping to absorb impurities and excess sebum from the skin.

Functional Advantages

Milk Thistle Powder offers powerful antioxidant protection thanks to silymarin, which neutralizes oxidative stress and supports cell renewal. It contributes to even skin tone, minimizes inflammation, and promotes a smoother skin texture over time. Its sorptive properties make it ideal for detox formulations and clarifying masks, while its compatibility with key actives, including enzymes and peptides, ensures its role as a supporting ingredient in high-performance skincare. It is free of synthetic additives, chemically stable, and safe for long-term use in professional formulations. It does not destabilize emulsions and is suitable for both cold and hot process manufacturing.
