Coptis Chinensis Extract

Product Description

Our Coptis Chinensis Root Extract is high-purity botanical material from direct factory supply, extracted from authenticated Coptis chinensis rhizome with batch COA traceability for blemish-care and soothing formulators.

Standardized berberine, coptisine, and palmatine alkaloids suppress C. acnes-triggered inflammation, scavenge ROS, and stimulate hyaluronic acid production in aqueous systems without synthetic antimicrobial substitutes.

CosIng-listed Chinese goldthread meets Huang Lian-inspired calm-actives demand in redness-prone care, offering multi-alkaloid depth beyond generic berberine salts or unrelated Rutaceae bark extracts.

Key Benefits & Applications

Coptis Chinensis Root Extract delivers berberine-coptisine alkaloids for formulators building anti-acne, soothing, and barrier-repair skincare systems.

• Berberine inhibits C. acnes-stimulated inflammatory cytokines in blemish-prone gel cleansers and toners.
• Alkaloid profile supports holistic blemish calm and sebum balance in oil-control serums at 0.5–2%.
• Berberine and coptisine scavenge ROS and limit oxidative stress in daily antioxidant day care.
• Stimulates hyaluronic acid and filaggrin expression for deep hydration in barrier-repair moisturizers.
• Modulates NF-κB-linked inflammatory mediators in sensitive-skin recovery and post-blemish formulas.
• Inhibits KLK5-linked inflammatory triggers in couperose-prone and redness-prone treatment gels.

Formulation Guidelines

Use at 0.1–5% w/w in water-based blemish-care and soothing systems; maintain pH 4.5–6.5 and add below 40°C to preserve berberine markers.

• Recommended use level: 0.5–2% in cleansers, toners, serums, and calming creams.
• Optimal formula pH: 4.5–6.5 to stabilize berberine and coptisine alkaloids.
• Add during cool-down below 40°C after emulsification to limit heat degradation.
• Compatible with niacinamide and panthenol in aqueous anti-redness bases.
• Natural golden hue may tint formulas; adjust colorants for aesthetic consistency.
• Synergy: Panthenol improves tolerance when co-formulated with coptis berberine in sensitive-skin calming toners.
