What we supply

Three formats, one specification discipline.

Every batch leaves the plant against a stated marker compound and assay. What changes between formats is the carrier and the finish. The specification does not move.

Format 01

Standardised dry extracts

Spray-dried powders, produced to a specified active-ingredient percentage and pulverised and sifted to the mesh size you require.

Format 02

PG extracts

Liquid extracts in propylene glycol, prepared for cosmetic applications where a dry powder is not the appropriate carrier.

Format 03

Tailor-made

Manufactured to customer specification on request.

From the range

Botanicals of Indian origin, identified by binomial.

The catalogue is organised by botanical identity and plant part, the two things a formulator needs before anything else. Every extract is listed with its botanical name, plant part and standardised marker.

Provenance

The forest is next door.

At source

Raw material, procured locally

The unit sits at Pithampur, near Indore in Madhya Pradesh, with a large part of the Indian forests in the vicinity. Herbs are procured quickly and economically, and local experts select the material.

In house

Three laboratories

Raw materials and finished products are tested in house, across three laboratories at two sites, rather than sent out and waited on.

Continuity

Three decades, one plant

Continuous manufacturing since 1994, from the same plant at Pithampur, near Indore.

This site is for formulators and manufacturers of finished products, not for consumers. Category names and any traditional-use notes on this site describe the historical Ayurvedic application of the botanical. They help you navigate the catalogue. They are not claims about the effect of any Kisalaya product, or of any product made from it. If you market a finished product, you are responsible for confirming which claims, and which ingredients, are lawful where you sell it.

Custom manufacturing

Herbs outside the catalogue

Our published range covers 124 standardised extracts. Kisalaya also manufactures 500+ more from other herbs of Indian origin, on request. If the botanical you need is not listed, send the name and the specification you are working to.
