Our conventional grade of Cochineal Extract appears pinkish red to deep crimson; the high-purity grade is bright red, and the high-precision purified grade shows purplish red, with uniform and pure color.

Form

It can be supplied in various forms such as fine powder or liquid extract. The powder form is easy to store and handle, and can be formulated into colorants for multiple products. The liquid extract is more suitable for applications requiring higher concentration and better dispersion.
