Typical colour and texture. Colour varies between batches, and we never boost saturation.

Super Hydro^™

Produced with the Super Hydro™ method

Super Hydro™ is an extraction method developed by BBK's extract manufacturing team. It draws out the active compounds of natural materials more effectively at a lower concentration. Based on our internal testing, a Super Hydro™ extract at a 2:1 ratio delivers performance comparable to a 5:1 extract from non-standardised producers.

Patent status: The Super Hydro™ method is currently patent pending. Even so, every BBK extract has been produced with this method from the start, so each batch you receive meets a quality standard above the market average.

Research & product opportunities

Sappanwood Extract (Caesalpinia sappan): 3 Studies and Product Opportunities

Sappanwood (secang) is known as a wedang ingredient and a natural red colorant. Its scientific research focuses on the compound brazilin, but is still dominated by laboratory studies. There are no human clinical trials in this research pool, so claims must stay educational.

PubMed-indexed journals · Claim guidance follows BPOM rules

Study 1 · Scientific review Supporting evidence

A Comprehensive Review on Bioactive Compounds Found in Caesalpinia sappan.

Vij, Anil, Shams, et al. Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2023.

Study design: Literature review of the bioactive compounds, health benefits, and food and non-food uses of sappanwood.

Key findings

Sappanwood contains brazilin, which is water-soluble and gives a red color.
Sappanwood is used as a fabric dye and as a food and drink colorant.
Other compounds found include brazilein, sappan chalcone, and protosappanin A.
Reported activities include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic effects against cancer cells in the laboratory.

What it means for your product: A core reference for the two roles of sappanwood: natural colorant and jamu ingredient. Suitable for the literature review section of product documents.

Journal DOI PubMed 37687076 Free full text

Study 2 · Laboratory study (in vitro) Early evidence

Protective role of Caesalpinia sappan extract and its main component brazilin against blue light-induced damage in human fibroblasts.

Park, Kim, Kim, et al. Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2022.

Study design: Test on human skin fibroblast cells given sappanwood extract or brazilin and then exposed to blue light at 30 J/cm2.

Key findings

Sappanwood extract and brazilin strongly absorbed blue light and had antioxidant activity.
Blue light exposure lowered type 1 and 3 collagen and raised MMP-1 and MMP-3.
Giving sappanwood extract before exposure protected the cells from this damage.
Brazilin alone also inhibited blue light damage.

What it means for your product: Opens a cosmetic research direction related to blue light. These are cell data, so finished product claims still need their own clinical testing.

Journal DOI PubMed 36057446

Study 3 · Laboratory study (in vitro) Early evidence

Iron chelating, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties of brazilin from Caesalpinia sappan Linn.

Taveepanich, Chayajarus, Jittimanee, et al. Heliyon, 2024.

Study design: Isolation and purification of brazilin from sappanwood, followed by antioxidant (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP), iron binding, and anti-inflammatory tests in liver cells and macrophages.

Key findings

Brazilin showed strong, concentration-dependent antioxidant activity.
NO production and IL-6 and TNF-α expression in LPS-stimulated macrophages decreased.
Brazilin binds iron ions and forms a complex at a 2:1 ratio.

What it means for your product: Strengthens the profile of brazilin as a quality marker and antioxidant compound. Its iron binding property is also relevant to color stability in formulas.

Sappanwood powder or tea bags with ginger, lemongrass, and clove for the jamu and souvenir markets.

Natural red colorant

A replacement for synthetic colors in drinks, jellies, and clean label products. The color shifts with pH, so formula testing is needed.

Blue light cosmetic research

A research direction for serums or creams related to screen light, based on the fibroblast cell study. Skin protection claims need finished product testing.

Herbal tea blends

The red color of sappanwood enhances the look of mixed herbal teas.

Claims you can make

Language guide for B2B and educational materials. Claims on finished product labels and ads must be the ones approved by BPOM at registration.

OK to say

Contains sappanwood extract (Caesalpinia sappan) with brazilin as a marker.
Sappanwood has been used for generations as a wedang ingredient and natural colorant.
Laboratory studies report antioxidant activity of brazilin from sappanwood (cite the source).

Avoid

Prevents or treats cancer, heart disease, or inflammation.
Prevents skin aging or protects skin from blue light, without product clinical testing and marketing authorization.
Safe for pregnant women without advice from a health professional.

All selected studies are reviews and laboratory tests; there are no human data yet. Traditionally, sappanwood is avoided in pregnancy, so products for pregnant women need caution. The halal status of this product is not yet certified.

Using this research for BPOM registration

Add the three journals above to the literature review or the safety and benefit supporting data in your product dossier.
Attach BBK's specification and per-batch CoA as raw material quality data. The specification always ships with the order; CoA is available on request.
Match your serving size to the doses used in the studies, then confirm final claims with a regulatory consultant or BPOM.

The studies above were not done with BBK products. BBK extracts are made with the Super Hydro™ method, but study results do not automatically apply to your finished product.
