Coptis Chinensis Root Extract

Product Description

Our standardized Coptis Chinensis Root Extract is derived from authenticated Coptis chinensis rhizome under GMP-aligned processing with batch COA traceability, supplying cosmetic formulators direct factory pricing and flexible kilogram-to-tonne bulk volumes.

Berberine—the primary alkaloid marker quantified by HPLC—modulates microbial balance, inflammatory signaling, and sebaceous activity, while root polyphenols deliver antioxidant support suited to blemish-prone, oil-control, and sensitive-skin treatment systems.

Unlike baicalin-forward Scutellaria extracts, this CosIng-listed Coptis rhizome suits TCM-inspired anti-acne and clarifying portfolios where formulators want traceable berberine assays with direct factory supply and batch-tested purity.

Key Benefits & Applications

This rhizome extract supports blemish-control, antimicrobial, and oil-balancing claims through berberine-rich Coptis chinensis suited to acne and sensitive-skin formulators.

• Acne Control Support: Berberine helps modulate blemish-linked microbial and inflammatory pathways in spot treatments and clarifying serums.
• Anti-Bacterial Activity: Root alkaloids support antimicrobial action in oil-prone cleansers and leave-on acne care systems.
• Sebum Regulation: Helps manage excess shine and oily surface feel in daily mattifying toners and lightweight emulsions.
• Antioxidant Protection: Coptis polyphenols and berberine scavenge reactive oxygen species in daytime antioxidant formulas.
• Anti-Inflammatory Modulation: Calms visible irritation and reactive tone in sensitive anti-acne and post-blemish recovery gels.

Formulation Guidelines

Introduce standardized Coptis root extract in aqueous or hydroalcoholic phases; verify berberine assay, pH, and shade impact in water-rich acne bases.

• Suggested use level: 0.5–3% w/w in serums and spot gels; 0.5–2% in cleansers (Typical).
• Processing: Pre-dissolve in water, glycerin, or ethanol before adding to water phase at 30–40°C.
• pH window: Maintain 4.5–6.5; berberine stability best in mildly acidic systems (Typical).
• Compatibility: Works with niacinamide and salicylic acid; separate strong chelators until cool-down when possible.
• Color note: Natural yellow alkaloid tint may affect clear gels—adjust level or mask with compatible pigments.
• Synergy: Formulators often co-add Salicylic Acid at 0.5–1% to berberine-rich Coptis root in clarifying acne spot gels.
