Daikon Seed Extract from Natural Plant Products, Inc.

Oregon farms have long supplied Asian countries with radish seeds for sprouts and vegetable production. Natural Plant Products has captured the expertise of its Oregon farmers to deliver this new and exceptional product. Daikon Seed Extract is a natural emollient derived from the seeds of Raphanus sativus.

Its fatty acid composition distinguishes it from other botanicals currently used in the cosmetics and personal care industries. The result of this unique chemistry is a delicate, non-oily feel on the skin. An extraordinarily light color and absence of odor make the material suitable for a variety of applications.

Daikon Seed Extract is extremely light-colored and odorless. Composed of an atypical mixture of C18, C20, and C22 fatty acids, Daikon Seed Extract offers a new chemistry to formulators. Daikon Seed Extract is derived from the seeds of commercial daikon radish fields planted by the farmer owners of OMG. The product is mechanically extracted and refined by NPP’s trusted manufacturing partners. The value of Daikon Seed Extract lay in its novel chemistry. The product imparts a delicate slip with good absorption, and presents a sensory profile more closely associated with esters and silicone type emollients.

Daikon Seed Extract can also be used in the formulation of cosmetics certified according to the Ecocert, COSMOS and NPA standards.
