Linden Bark Extract Powder

Linden Bark Extract Powder is derived from the bark of Tilia platyphyllos Scop., a Malvaceae species commonly known as large-leaved linden or large-leaved lime. Its defined bark origin distinguishes the ingredient from linden flower, leaf, floral-water, and generic Tilia extracts used in botanical and cosmetic formulations.

Essencefield supplies the ingredient as a dry extract powder for cosmetic and personal-care development. Its INCI identity is Tilia Platyphyllos Bark Extract, with EC No. 294-800-9 and a recognized skin-conditioning function, providing formulators and ingredient buyers with a clearly defined bark-derived botanical material.

Ingredient Profile & Common Uses

Commercial linden ingredients can originate from different plant parts, including flowers, leaves, bark, and floral materials. For procurement and formulation, plant-part identification is therefore important. This product is specifically based on Tilia platyphyllos bark and should be treated as a separate ingredient from the flower extracts more commonly associated with traditional linden botanical products.

Commercial sourcing is defined primarily by botanical identity, bark origin, extract form, and powder format. Ratio grades such as 10:1 or 20:1 and standardized flavonoid specifications commonly associated with linden flower extracts should not be used to define this bark ingredient. This creates a more accurate specification framework for cosmetic ingredient sourcing and supplier qualification.

The dry powder format supports use in botanical skin-care and personal-care development. Formulators should evaluate blend uniformity in dry systems and wetting, dispersion, color contribution, and physical stability when introducing the extract into water-containing or emulsified formulations.

Application Areas

Botanical Skin-Care Products

Suitable for botanical skin-care concepts requiring a plant-derived linden ingredient with defined bark origin and skin-conditioning positioning.

Creams & Body Lotions

Applicable to emulsified products where botanical identity, dispersion, color compatibility, and finished-formula stability are important during formulation development.

Serums, Gels & Masks

Can be evaluated in water-based and gel systems after assessing wetting, dispersion, sedimentation, viscosity interaction, and visual compatibility.

Cleansing & Personal-Care Formulations

Suitable for cleansing and personal-care products requiring a plant-derived bark extract with a clearly differentiated Tilia ingredient identity.

Bark Identity & Extract Profile

The defining technical characteristic of this ingredient is its bark source. This distinction is commercially important because linden flower, leaf, and bark materials may appear under closely related Tilia naming while representing different botanical ingredients and different formulation identities.

Botanical literature describes hydrophilic mucilage in the phloem tissues of Tilia platyphyllos, consisting largely of uronic-acid- and sugar-containing polysaccharide material. This provides bark-relevant chemical context without implying that the commercial extract is standardized to a specific polysaccharide, flavonoid, or other marker compound.

For purchasing purposes, species identity, bark source, extract form, INCI designation, and powder delivery format provide a more defensible commercial definition than transferring standardized specifications from linden flower extracts.

Technical & Quality Considerations

Quality evaluation should first establish botanical source and plant part. Because commercial catalogs frequently group bark, flower, leaf, and generic Tilia extracts under similar names, documentation should clearly identify Tilia platyphyllos and bark as the source material. Cosmetic ingredient documentation should correspond to the INCI name Tilia Platyphyllos Bark Extract.

Physical performance should be evaluated in the intended formulation. Powder characteristics influence handling and blend uniformity, while wetting, dispersion, sedimentation, and natural color contribution can affect performance in aqueous or emulsified systems. These characteristics should be assessed using the supplied material rather than inferred from linden flower extract data.

During scale-up, R&D teams should evaluate order of addition, premixing, mixing time, pH compatibility, viscosity interaction, and finished-product appearance. Laboratory compatibility testing before pilot production can help establish a practical processing sequence for creams, lotions, gels, cleansers, and related botanical personal-care systems.
