Our Tanshinone IIA powder (also known as Danshen extract or Danshen root extract) is a premium botanical extract standardized to 1%-98% Tanshinone IIA, a key fat-soluble diterpenoid compound with cardiovascular support, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, with emerging research suggesting benefits for cognitive health and neuroprotection.
Global demand for standardized Tanshinone IIA extract is growing at a 9.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024-2030, driven by increasing clinical research (over 500 new studies validating its mechanism of action since 2022), pharmaceutical applications, and growing consumer demand for natural cardiovascular and anti-aging ingredients. Different from common Danshen extracts, our specialized extraction process (low-temperature ethanol extraction followed by silica gel chromatography) minimizes the degradation of heat-sensitive compounds, ensuring higher purity and bioavailability, making it ideal for nutritional supplements (heart health supplements, nootropics) and cosmeceuticals (anti-aging skincare products that improve microcirculation). We support OEM/ODM customization and standardization (adjustable purity levels (1%, 5%, 10%, 20%)) and stability testing (shelf life of 24 months under proper storage conditions).
HPLC-verified, Tanshinone IIA boasts over 20% purity. Proprietary low-temperature ethanol extraction technology achieves batch-to-batch consistency of ±2%, with residual solvent content less than 10 ppm.
Direct planting partnerships with certified organic Danshen farms ensure a year-round supply. Optimized dynamic maceration technology achieves an extraction ratio of 10:1 with post-harvest processing within 72 hours.
Flexible standardization allows for adjustment of Tanshinone IIA content from 1% to 20%. Pre-developed synergistic blends are available for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and restorative formulations.

Tanshinone powder concentrations typically range from 0.1% to 1%, depending on the formulation type and product goals. For example, in anti-aging creams or serums, concentrations of 0.2% to 1% are often used for optimal antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. In masks or lotions, concentrations of 0.3% to 1% can effectively soothe skin and promote repair.
The recommended daily intake is 50 mg to 200 mg, but this should be adjusted based on formulation needs and regional regulations.
If you're developing anti-aging skincare or cosmeceutical products, our laboratory-tested Danshen extracts provide stable and bioactive tanshinone compounds. ISO and cGMP certifications ensure adjustable Tanshinone IIA content (1%-20%), a variety of particle sizes for optimal formulation, and comprehensive testing reports covering heavy metals and microbial analysis. We're always ready to assist you with product development.
Of course. Tanshinone IIA combats oxidative stress and supports cellular health, making it a powerful ingredient in anti-aging skincare products.
It provides antioxidant protection, reduces inflammation, and enhances skin elasticity, bringing a wide range of benefits to skincare formulations.
Tanshinones are poorly soluble in water, but they can be dissolved effectively in ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), or oil-based systems, allowing for better integration into formulations.
Our Tanshinone IIA powder has a stable shelf life of 24 months when kept under proper storage conditions.
We support customization and standardization with adjustable purity levels ranging from 1% to 20%, as well as high-purity options up to 98% based on specific customer requirements.
For dietary supplements, the typical recommended daily intake ranges from 50 mg to 200 mg, depending on formulation targets and local regulatory guidelines.
