What does this Astragalus root oil look like — appearance, color, and consistency at room temperature?
Astragalus root oil appears as a waxy oil to viscous yellow-amber liquid, turning semi-solid at cool temperatures.
Appearance & Physical Constants
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Waxy oil to viscous yellow-amber liquid (semi-solid at cool temp) |
| Color | Pale yellow to golden amber |
| Relative density | 0.900–0.970 (20°C) |
| Refractive index | 1.470–1.520 (20°C) |
- The waxy, semi-solid behavior at cool temperatures is characteristic of the high-molecular-weight isoflavonoid and phytosterol content
- Slight natural shade variation between batches is normal; warmer golden-amber tones usually indicate richer marker content
- Warm gently (below 40°C) before use if the oil has solidified, to restore a fully liquid, pourable state
