The ashwagandha macerate is obtained through maceration. The oil base is fractionated coconut oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride), valued for its light consistency, stability, and excellent biocompatibility with the skin.
This macerate is characterized by a light brown, slightly cloudy color and a natural, distinctive aroma. It is rich in fatty acids C8:0 (caprylic) and C10:0 (capric). Unique chemical composition, including. vitanolides, glycovitanolides and vitanosides rarely found in other plants, makes it one of the most popular adaptogens – plant substances with the effect of protecting the body from the negative effects of stress.
Applications and Properties
Ashwagandha macerate supports the body in fighting stress and fatigue, improves immunity, concentration, sleep quality, and overall physical and mental performance. Due to its content of withanolides and withanosides, it is used in dietary supplements intended for people living under constant tension and seeking natural support for the nervous system.
In cosmetics, it works excellently in massage oils, anti-aging cosmetics, and regenerating products. It provides nourishing, antioxidant, and soothing effects, supporting the care of mature, dry, and tired skin. Thanks to MCT oil, it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy layer, making it a versatile ingredient for creams, balms, masks, and SPA and aromatherapy cosmetics.
