Lajwanti (Mimosa Pudica) – Whole Herb, Extracts, Oils & Powders
Wholesale Lajwanti in every format your formulation needs — sourced, processed, and shipped globally by TheWholesalerCo.
Lajwanti (Mimosa pudica), famously known as the "Touch-Me-Not" plant, Sensitive Plant, and across India as Chui-Mui or Lajjalu, is one of the most instantly recognizable botanicals in the world — its leaves fold shut within seconds of being touched, an almost magical thigmonastic response that has fascinated humans for centuries. Beyond its charm, Mimosa pudica is a serious medicinal plant with a deep history in Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha traditions — traditionally used in formulations for wound healing, skin health, digestive wellness, and women's health. Modern research has drawn attention to its mimosine fraction, tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, and a unique seed mucilage used in gut-health applications. Whether you're developing a classical Ayurvedic formulation, a digestive health nutraceutical, a wound-care topical, or a natural mucilage for gut-health supplements, TheWholesalerCo offers Lajwanti in every format the modern formulator needs — from whole dried herb to supercritical CO2 extracts.

Shop Lajwanti by Form
Whole Lajwanti (Dried Herb)
Cleaned, shade-dried Mimosa pudica aerial parts — leaves, stems, and flowering tops — with separately graded roots and seeds available on request. The preferred raw material for buyers who want to process in-house, prepare classical Ayurvedic formulations like Lajjalu Churna, run extraction operations, or maintain full control over milling and standardization. Ideal for Ayurvedic manufacturers, specialty extractors, and contract formulators working directly from source.
Lajwanti Herbal Powder
Finely milled whole-herb powder, mesh-graded to your specification. A workhorse ingredient for capsules, tablets, classical churnas, topical pastes, and traditional Ayurvedic and Siddha formulations. Shelf-stable, cost-effective, and the simplest way to deliver Lajwanti's full phytochemical spectrum — tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and mimosine — in a single ingredient.
Lajwanti Root Powder
Finely milled Mimosa pudica root powder, mesh-graded to your specification. The root is the most traditionally valued plant part in classical Ayurveda for specific formulations, particularly those targeting women's health, wound care, and digestive support. Used in classical churnas and specialty nutraceutical applications.
Lajwanti Solvent-Based Extract
Concentrated powdered extract produced with food-grade solvents. Available in standardized ratios and, on request, standardized to total tannins, flavonoids, or specific phytochemical markers. The go-to form for specialty nutraceutical brands, Ayurvedic manufacturers, and formulators where label claims, assay values, and species authentication matter.
Lajwanti CO2 Extract
Supercritical CO2 extraction delivers a solvent-free, highly concentrated extract that preserves the full spectrum of heat-sensitive phytochemicals and the plant's native biochemistry. A specialty form for clean-label premium nutraceuticals, research applications, and brands marketing "green extraction" on the front of the pack.
Lajwanti Seed Mucilage
A concentrated mucilage fraction isolated from Mimosa pudica seeds — a rich source of soluble fiber and galactomannan-type polysaccharides with growing interest in gut-health applications, particularly for its demulcent and film-forming properties. Used as a natural thickener, gut-health functional ingredient, and clean-label alternative to synthetic thickeners in food and nutraceutical systems. Available in multiple purity grades on request.
Lajwanti Oil (Classical Taila)
Prepared in line with Ayurvedic texts — Lajjalu decoction cooked into a base oil until the water phase evaporates. Traditionally used in classical wound-care oils, topical skin formulations, and specialty Ayurvedic external therapies. Ideal for premium Ayurvedic brands and wellness ranges building on traditional Lajjalu therapies.
Lajwanti Infused Oil
Whole herb 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 wound-care oils, soothing topical blends, and specialty traditional formulations.
Lajwanti Oil-Soluble Extract
A lipophilic extract designed to disperse cleanly into oils, balms, butters, and anhydrous cosmetic systems. If you're formulating a wound-care balm, a specialty Ayurvedic topical, or an anhydrous system where you want Lajwanti's actives in a controlled, ready-to-blend format, this is the form to choose.
Lajwanti PG Extract (Propylene Glycol)
A liquid extract in a propylene glycol base — pre-solubilized and ready to blend into topical sprays, wound-care washes, scalp serums, and water-based cosmetic systems. Saves formulation time and delivers uniform distribution of Lajwanti actives across aqueous and surfactant phases.
Lajwanti Glycerine Extract
A liquid extract in vegetable glycerine — the clean-label, paraben-free, PG-free alternative. Perfect for natural and organic skincare brands, gentle topical formulations, functional beverages, and soothing water-based products where a mild humectant carrier is a formulation bonus rather than a compromise.
