Tamarind (Tamarindus Indica) – Fruit, Seed, Extracts, Oils & Powders

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

Tamarind (Tamarindus indica), the iconic tropical pod behind countless cuisines, beverages, and Ayurvedic formulations, is far more than a culinary ingredient — it is a rich source of tartaric acid, polyphenols, and unique xyloglucan polysaccharides (from its seed) that have earned a place in modern food science, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic formulation. Whether you're developing a functional beverage with natural fruit acidity, an alpha-hydroxy-acid-style exfoliating serum, a mucoadhesive eye-care product built on tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP / xyloglucan), or a classical Ayurvedic formulation, TheWholesalerCo offers Tamarind in every format the modern formulator needs — from whole fruit pulp to supercritical CO2 extracts.

Shop Tamarind by Form

Whole Tamarind (Fruit Pulp & Seed)

Cleaned, de-shelled, de-stringed Tamarindus indica fruit pulp, and separately graded whole seeds. The preferred raw material for buyers who want to process in-house, prepare classical Ayurvedic formulations, build food and beverage bases, or maintain full control over milling and extraction. Ideal for food manufacturers, contract processors, and extractors working directly from source material.

Tamarind Herbal Powder

Finely milled fruit pulp or seed powder, mesh-graded to your specification. Fruit pulp powder is a workhorse for instant beverages, sauces, seasoning blends, and functional food formulations. Seed powder delivers the plant's unique polysaccharide fraction — used in capsules, functional foods, and natural thickening systems. Shelf-stable, cost-effective, and the simplest way to deliver tamarind's full phytochemical or polysaccharide profile in a single ingredient.

Tamarind Seed Polysaccharide (Xyloglucan / TSP)

A purified, high-molecular-weight xyloglucan extracted from tamarind seed kernel — one of the most clinically studied natural mucoadhesives in eye care and a proven thickening, film-forming, and stabilizing agent in food and cosmetic science. The go-to ingredient for dry-eye drops, artificial tear formulations, ophthalmic gels, mucoadhesive cosmetics, and clean-label natural thickeners. Available in multiple molecular weight and purity grades on request.

Tamarind Solvent-Based Extract

Concentrated powdered extract produced with food-grade solvents. Available in standardized ratios and, on request, standardized to total polyphenols or natural fruit acids (tartaric, malic, citric). The go-to form for nutraceutical brands, natural AHA skincare formulators, and beverage manufacturers where label claims, acidity, and dosage accuracy matter.

Tamarind CO2 Extract

Supercritical CO2 extraction delivers a solvent-free, highly concentrated extract that preserves the fruit's native phytochemistry and polyphenol fraction. The premium choice for clean-label supplements, high-end antioxidant and AHA-style cosmetics, and brands marketing "green extraction" on the front of the pack.

Tamarind Seed Oil

Cold-pressed from tamarind seed kernels, this specialty oil is rich in linoleic and oleic acids and prized for its fast-absorbing, emollient profile. A niche but growing ingredient in premium face oils, hair serums, and anhydrous cosmetic systems where light texture and natural fatty acid balance matter.

Tamarind Infused Oil

Fruit pulp or seed 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 scalp oils, warming body oils, and classical Ayurvedic topical blends.

Tamarind Oil-Soluble Extract

A lipophilic extract designed to disperse cleanly into oils, balms, butters, and anhydrous cosmetic systems. If you're formulating a brightening face oil, an AHA-adjacent anhydrous product, or a specialty balm where you want tamarind actives without water-soluble acid challenges, this is the form to choose.

Tamarind PG Extract (Propylene Glycol)

A liquid extract in a propylene glycol base — pre-solubilized and ready to blend into toners, essences, exfoliating serums, and water-based cosmetic systems. Saves formulation time and delivers uniform distribution of tamarind's natural fruit acids across aqueous and surfactant phases — particularly valuable in natural AHA and brightening categories.

Tamarind Glycerine Extract

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