Anthocyanins

Product Description

Our standardized Anthocyanins are purified from authenticated berry fruit sources under GMP-aligned processing with batch COA traceability, supplying cosmetic formulators direct factory pricing and flexible kilogram-to-tonne bulk volumes.

Cyanidin- and delphinidin-glycoside markers—quantified by HPLC—scavenge reactive oxygen species, modulate tyrosinase-linked melanin pathways, and calm inflammatory signaling, supporting antioxidant, brightening, and photo-defense claims in aqueous serums and emulsions.

Unlike generic fruit juice powders with uncontrolled polyphenol levels, this HPLC-standardized anthocyanin active suits clean-label antioxidant and tone-evening portfolios where formulators want verified ≥25% anthocyanin assay and direct factory supply.

Key Benefits & Applications

Anthocyanins support antioxidant, brightening, and photo-defense claims through HPLC-standardized berry polyphenols suited to day-care and tone-evening formulators.

• Antioxidant Protection: Anthocyanin glycosides scavenge reactive oxygen species in daytime antioxidant serums and UV-exposed essences.
• Tyrosinase Inhibition: Helps modulate tyrosinase-linked melanin synthesis in brightening toners and spot-care ampoules.
• Anti-Aging Defense: Limits oxidative matrix stress in mature-skin and pollution-exposed treatment emulsions.
• Photo-Aging Protection: Defends against UV-induced oxidative damage in outdoor day-care and shield serum systems.
• UV Damage Repair: Supports post-exposure recovery narratives in after-sun gels and reparative night care.
• Anti-Inflammatory Modulation: Calms irritation-linked redness in sensitive-skin brightening and calming formulas.

Formulation Guidelines

Introduce standardized anthocyanins in acidic aqueous or hydroalcoholic phases; verify HPLC assay, shade, and light protection before scale-up.

• Recommended use level: 0.5–3% w/w in serums and creams; 0.5–2% in toners (Typical).
• Optimal formula pH: Maintain pH 3.0–5.5; anthocyanin color and stability best in mildly acidic systems (Typical).
• Processing: Add below 40°C to water or glycerin phase; minimize light exposure during manufacturing.
• Compatibility: Works with vitamin C derivatives and niacinamide; avoid strong alkalis that shift color and degrade anthocyanins.
• Caution: pH above 6 may cause blue-gray color shift and instability—buffer and test shade over shelf life.
• Synergy: Layer Green Tea Extract with anthocyanins in daytime UV-shield serums at 1–2% for stacked polyphenol antioxidant defense.
