Applications of Clematis Vitalba Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract in Industrial Manufacturing

Clematis Vitalba extract, derived from the aerial parts of the plant, is known for its distinct phytochemical profile, primarily containing flavonoids, triterpene saponins, and phenolic acids. We supply large-scale, standardized extract for a range of industrial clients, supporting specialized processing across cosmetics, personal care, natural pharmaceuticals, botanical pest control, and veterinary formulations.

1. Botanical Ingredient in Cosmetic Preparations

Cosmetic manufacturers incorporate Clematis Vitalba extract as a functional ingredient in topical formulations targeting skin conditioning, especially in soothing gels and anti-inflammatory creams. Extraction involves low-temperature ethanol or water processes to preserve bioactivity. Manufacturers often combine the extract with emollients, humectants, or mineral carriers to modulate texture and stability for high-value finished skincare products.

3. Natural Pesticide and Biocontrol Formulations

Agricultural and horticultural product manufacturers employ Clematis Vitalba extract as a component in botanical pesticide blends for the protection of greenhouse crops and ornamental plants. The saponin and phenolic profiles allow for mild insect deterrent or mitigation activity, especially in eco-friendly pest control. Extraction and maceration are optimized for active constituent recovery, followed by formulation with adjuvants to enhance distribution and leaf adherence.

Industry compliance standards

• EU Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (Plant Protection Products)
• US EPA FIFRA 40 CFR
• China GB 2763 pesticide residue standards

Typical usage ratio

• 1%–3% of total concentrate; field dilution to 0.2%–0.5% in spray emulsions, subject to crop sensitivity tests

Downstream process integration

• Post-extraction blending with surfactants and stabilizers
• Emulsion pre-concentration prior to drum or bottle filling

Final product types

• Low-toxicity foliar spray concentrates
• Biodegradable pest deterrent emulsions
• Home gardening liquid biocontrol bottles
• Commercial botanic crop protectants

4. Veterinary Botanical Additive for Animal Topical Care

Veterinary formulators adopt Clematis Vitalba extract as an adjunct ingredient in supportive topical treatments for minor skin discomfort and insect bites on companion animals. Production involves purification to remove particulate matter, ensuring safe, non-sensitizing application. Blending with soothing base oils and hydrogels allows for pad, spray, or lotion formulations compliant with animal care safety requirements.

Industry compliance standards
