Explore our foundational range of globally certified bioactive molecules and standardized botanical extracts curated for premium formulations.
Sclareolide (CAS 564-20-1) is a highly valued sesquiterpene lactone naturally obtained via the extraction and subsequent crystallization process of Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea L.). Structurally, it is characterized by its white to off-white crystalline powder form, displaying a mild, warm sweet woody aroma. Its primary molecular formula is C16H26O2.
For decades, Sclareolide has served as the key precursor in the manufacturing of Ambroxide (Ambroxan), the industry-standard substitute for endangered natural ambergris in luxury perfumery. Beyond the flavor and fragrance sector, cutting-edge bioscience research has identified Sclareolide as a potent functional agent in cosmetics for its outstanding skin-brightening, oil-control, and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as a popular active compound in dietary thermogenic supplements.
When sourcing Sclareolide from suppliers, global buyers must distinguish between grades (standard 95% vs. high-purity 98% by GC analysis) depending on their specific industrial target application.
Why do top global flavor houses and supplement companies source their Sclareolide plant extracts directly from Chinese manufacturers?
Shaanxi Province, centered around the fertile Qinling Mountains and nearby cultivation plains, hosts the ideal microclimate for growing high-yield, premium-quality Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea). Shaanxi ShineHerb Biotech Co., Ltd. utilizes locally contracted agrarian resources to ensure a stable supply of raw biomass year-round, insulating buyers from global price volatility.
Leading Chinese factories utilize large-scale continuous countercurrent extraction machinery, cryogenic crystallization lines, and automated packaging units. Our infrastructure allows Shaanxi ShineHerb Biotech to process tons of plant biomass efficiently, ensuring precise crystal structure control, consistent melting points, and minimal organic solvent residue.
Modern Chinese exporters operate under strict GMP, ISO9001, HACCP, FDA, Halal, and Kosher regulatory frameworks. With sophisticated testing labs featuring HPLC, GC, and ICP-MS equipment, we track every batch from agricultural origin to the finished exported shipment, meeting the highest USP, EP, and CP standards.

The global market for Sclareolide is undergoing rapid evolution. Key drivers reshaping procurement strategies for international manufacturers include:
How global industries integrate Sclareolide from Chinese factories into final consumer products.
Used by major aroma houses as the starting raw material for synthesizing high-purity Ambroxan. Sclareolide-derived aroma products offer long-lasting fixation, helping fragrances adhere to skin and fabrics without mutating the core scent profile.
Integrated into anti-acne creams, oil-control serums, and brightening emulsions. Sclareolide helps regulate excessive sebaceous gland secretion, and its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated skin barriers, making it an excellent ingredient for sensitive skin lines.
Formulated into fat burners, sports nutrition powders, and dietary capsules. By stimulating intracellular cAMP, Sclareolide supports metabolism and energy utilization. Chinese manufacturers supply this in bulk to brands targeting body composition and athletic performance.
