Collection: Manjistha Root (Rubia Cordifolia) – Root, Extracts, Oils & Powders

Wholesale Manjistha in every format your formulation needs — sourced, processed, and shipped to Canada by TheWholesalerCo.

Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia), known across India as Manjistha, Indian Madder, and in classical Ayurveda as Yojanavalli and Raktanga (literally "blood-colored"), is one of the most revered blood-purifying and skin-supporting botanicals in classical Indian medicine — and arguably the single most important Ayurvedic herb for the lymphatic and circulatory systems. Its long, slender, deep red-orange roots are exceptionally rich in purpurin, munjistin, alizarin, and other anthraquinone glycosides, which give Manjistha its signature ruby-red color and have made it both a clinically researched herbal ingredient and one of the world's oldest natural dyes — used to color the wraps of Egyptian mummies, the togas of Roman soldiers, and the textiles of South Asia for over four thousand years. In modern formulation, Manjistha occupies a unique double role: a cornerstone raktashodhak (blood-purifying) herb in classical Ayurvedic skin, lymphatic, and women's-health formulations, and a renewable natural colorant for clean-label cosmetics and textiles. Whether you're developing a classical Manjisthadi Kashayam, a skin-clarifying nutraceutical, an Ayurvedic face cream, or a natural-color cosmetic system, TheWholesalerCo offers Manjistha in every format the modern formulator needs — from whole dried roots to supercritical CO2 extracts.

Shop Manjistha by Form

Whole Manjistha (Dried Root)

Cleaned, sun-dried Rubia cordifolia roots — long, slender, fibrous, with the characteristic deep red-orange to brick-red color that immediately distinguishes authentic Manjistha from look-alike species. The preferred raw material for buyers who want to process in-house, prepare classical Ayurvedic formulations, run dye or extraction operations, or maintain full control over milling and standardization. Ideal for Ayurvedic manufacturers, natural colorant producers, dye houses, and contract extractors working directly from authenticated source material.

Manjistha Herbal Powder

Finely milled root powder, mesh-graded to your specification, retaining the characteristic deep brick-red color and earthy aroma of authentic Manjistha. A workhorse ingredient for capsules, tablets, classical churnas, skin-clarifying blends, ubtans, face packs, and traditional Ayurvedic formulations. Shelf-stable, cost-effective, and the simplest way to deliver Manjistha's full anthraquinone and phytochemical profile in a single ingredient.

Manjistha Solvent-Based Extract

Concentrated powdered extract produced with food-grade solvents. Available in standardized ratios and, on request, standardized to total anthraquinones, purpurin, or munjistin content. The go-to form for specialty nutraceutical brands, Ayurvedic manufacturers, and formulators where label claims, assay values, and species authentication matter.

Manjistha CO2 Extract

Supercritical CO2 extraction delivers a solvent-free, highly concentrated extract that preserves the full spectrum of heat-sensitive anthraquinones, glycosides, and the root's native phytochemistry. The premium choice for clean-label skin nutraceuticals, high-end cosmetics, natural colorant systems, and brands marketing "green extraction" on the front of the pack.

Manjistha Natural Dye

A traditional red-orange to deep crimson natural dye extracted from Rubia cordifolia roots — one of the world's oldest natural dyestuffs, used for over four millennia in textile, wool, silk, and craft applications across South Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Available as a root-derived dye preparation for natural textile, craft, heritage dye, and clean-label cosmetic colorant applications.

Manjistha Oil (Classical Taila)

Prepared in line with Ayurvedic texts — Manjistha decoction cooked into a base oil until the water phase evaporates. Traditionally used in classical skin-care oils, complexion-clarifying formulations, and external Ayurvedic therapies. Manjisthadi Tailam is a foundational formulation in Ayurvedic skin and lymphatic therapy, and one of the most recognizable classical Manjistha preparations. Ideal for premium Ayurvedic brands and wellness ranges building on traditional Raktashodhak therapies.

Manjistha Infused Oil

Whole root slowly infused into a carrier oil (sesame, coconut, jojoba, or custom base on request). A label-friendly option for brands building "infused in" narratives without solvent extraction complexity. Popular in classical face oils, complexion-clarifying body oils, scalp oils, and specialty Ayurvedic topical formulations.

Manjistha Oil-Soluble Extract

A lipophilic, anthraquinone-rich extract designed to disperse cleanly into oils, balms, butters, and anhydrous cosmetic systems. If you're formulating a brightening face oil, a lymphatic massage balm, an Ayurvedic skin serum, or an anhydrous system where you want Manjistha's hero actives in a controlled, ready-to-blend format, this is the form to choose.

Manjistha PG Extract (Propylene Glycol)

A liquid extract in a propylene glycol base — pre-solubilized and ready to blend into toners, brightening essences, sheet masks, scalp tonics, and water-based cosmetic systems. Saves formulation time and delivers uniform distribution of Manjistha's actives across aqueous and surfactant phases — a category staple in skin-clarifying and complexion-care formulations.

Manjistha Glycerine Extract

A liquid extract in vegetable glycerine — the clean-label, paraben-free, PG-free alternative. Perfect for natural and organic skincare brands, gentle complexion-care products, lymphatic-support functional beverages, and soothing water-based cosmetics where a mild humectant carrier is a formulation bonus rather than a compromise.
