Tamarind Seed Extract

What is Tamarind Seed Extract?

Tamarind Seed Extract is a water-soluble Tamarindus indica seed polysaccharide supplied as a glycerin-extract liquid for professional cosmetic formulation. The polymer lays down a light, flexible film that helps hold water at the skin surface, so leave-on serums, gels, and light emulsions feel cushioned instead of watery. IngredientOS stocks this SKU in Florida for US formulators who need a botanical hydrator they can add in cool-down without a powder step.

How to use in formulation

Typical use is 1–5% of the supplied liquid in the water phase below 40 °C. Start at 1–2% in fluid serums and raise the level if the brief needs more slip or a tighter film. The extract is compatible with most water-phase humectants. Pair it with Antioxidant Complex T-5 in a daytime moisturizer when you want film-forming hydration plus a polyphenol blend. For an evening expression-line serum, keep Tamarind in the water phase and add SNAP-8 peptide solution C after emulsification.
