Marigold Flower (Tagetes Spp.) – Whole Flower, Extracts, Oils & Powders

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

Marigold (Tagetes spp.), the vivid orange-yellow bloom cultivated across India for both ceremonial and industrial use, is one of the world's most important natural sources of lutein and zeaxanthin — carotenoids clinically linked to eye health and macular support. Beyond nutraceuticals, Tagetes is a workhorse ingredient in natural colorants, poultry feed, cosmetics, and aromatherapy, thanks to its rich pigment profile and distinctive essential oil. Whether you're developing a lutein supplement, a natural food colorant, a brightening face oil, or a classical aromatherapy blend, TheWholesalerCo offers Marigold in every format the modern formulator needs — from whole dried flower heads to supercritical CO2 extracts.

Shop Marigold by Form

Whole Marigold (Dried Flower)

Carefully dried whole Tagetes flower heads and loose petals, preserving their signature orange-yellow color and carotenoid content. The preferred raw material for buyers who want to process in-house, prepare natural colorants, build herbal blends, or maintain full control over extraction. Ideal for lutein extractors, feed manufacturers, natural dye makers, and contract formulators working directly from source material.

Marigold Herbal Powder

Finely milled whole-flower powder, mesh-graded to your specification. A workhorse ingredient for poultry and aquaculture feed, natural colorants, capsules, face packs, and cosmetic masks. Shelf-stable, cost-effective, and the simplest way to deliver marigold's full carotenoid spectrum — including lutein and zeaxanthin — in a single ingredient.

Marigold Solvent-Based Extract

Concentrated powdered extract produced with food-grade solvents. Available in standardized ratios and, on request, standardized to total carotenoids or specific lutein and zeaxanthin content — with 5%, 10%, 20%, and higher lutein grades being industry benchmarks for eye-health nutraceuticals. The go-to form for supplement brands, functional food manufacturers, and natural colorant suppliers where label claims, assay values, and clinical relevance matter.

Marigold CO2 Extract

Supercritical CO2 extraction delivers a solvent-free, deeply colored extract that preserves the full spectrum of heat-sensitive carotenoids and the flower's aromatic volatile oil. The premium choice for clean-label supplements, natural color systems, high-end cosmetics, and brands marketing "green extraction" on the front of the pack.

Marigold Oil (Essential Oil / Classical Taila)

True Tagetes essential oil, steam-distilled from the whole flowering plant, delivers an intense, herbaceous-fruity aroma prized in perfumery and aromatherapy. Alternatively, we supply classical Ayurvedic taila — marigold decoction cooked into a base oil — for wellness brands building on traditional extraction methods for topical therapies.

Marigold Infused Oil

Whole flower heads slowly macerated into a carrier oil (sesame, sunflower, jojoba, or custom base on request). A label-friendly option for brands building "infused in" narratives without solvent extraction complexity. Popular in brightening face oils, body oils, scalp oils, and soothing massage blends that lean on the flower's rich natural color.

Marigold Oil-Soluble Extract

A lipophilic, carotenoid-rich extract — often called marigold oleoresin — designed to disperse cleanly into oils, balms, butters, and anhydrous cosmetic systems. Also widely used as a natural food colorant in fat-based applications. If you're formulating a brightening face oil, a lip balm, a natural-color butter, or an anhydrous serum, this form delivers marigold's hero actives in a ready-to-blend format.

Marigold PG Extract (Propylene Glycol)

A liquid extract in a propylene glycol base — pre-solubilized and ready to blend into shampoos, toners, essences, serums, and water-based cosmetic systems. Saves formulation time and delivers uniform distribution of marigold carotenoids and actives across aqueous and surfactant phases.

Marigold Glycerine Extract

A liquid extract in vegetable glycerine — the clean-label, paraben-free, PG-free alternative. Perfect for natural and organic skincare brands, baby-safe formulations, natural cosmetic colorants, and gentle water-based products where a soothing humectant carrier is a formulation bonus rather than a compromise.
